Breakfast

[Barmaid]

One of my big downfalls is I skip breakfast. I do try very hard to force down some toast or some cereal or some yoghurt but the truth is, I dont really like this stuff.

I do quite enjoy a continental type breakfast though with cheese and sliced meat.

Would the weight loss benefits of eating a continental style brekkie be better than none at all? I've got about 5 months to shift a stone and a half.

Milk males them soft and creamy rather than rubbery MW services style.

Don't forget the fried kidneys. That really sets off a cooked breakfast.

Hi BM. Studies have shown that people who eat eggs for breakfast consume, on average, 400 less calories per day. Swap the toast for sauteed cherry toms and spinach with the eggs and you'll see even greater weight loss.

Ditch all carbs and replace with lean protein and an abundance of vegetables and you'll be laughing.

Probably not great advice but I have kept my weight in check by coming down to two small meals per day, I don't eat after lunchtime and I feel better for it.

So Purist...you're basically doing intermittent fasting. As long as you are giving your body the nutrients it needs that's good.

[NoMercy]

Purist, intermittent fasting as Pasta mentions is good for the body. For our bodies to be in a permanent feeding state is not healthy as it does not permit time for healing and repair. Having a cut-off point in the say where you stop consuming food is something everyone should consider.

Fasting is the only thing that brought my IBS under control.

Barmaid....as a diabetic, I try never to miss breakfast, even if its some tea and couple of slices of toast. Its important to get something down you first thing. I also have a banana as soon as I am up....lots of goodness in a banana !

It takes a while, but over about a year I have trimmed down quite a bit by just eating less of everything, I don't, therefore, feel deprived and can't face a large plateful now. I don't like cornflakes, muesli etc., but OH does, with half a banana sliced on top.
As a result, my breakfast is half a grapefruit, followed by natural, live yoghurt accompanied by the other half of the banana and 2 mugs of tea, milk, no sugar. The banana gives me some healthy carbs., the grapefruit vits. and roughage and the yog. calcium and healthy bacteria. Suits me. I can't stand croissants (having lived all those years in France!). Don't know if this helps, it's a lot of weight to shift fast, depends on your age. I could have done it by drastic dieting 25 years ago, but it gets harder. Increase your exercise if you can. Good luck. :)
