Breakfast question

[Guest guest]

I am wondering about the importance of breakfast?

I always hear it is important to eat breakfast, however, I never want to eat in

the morning . . . so I don't.

Any thoughts?

I can relate as I never want to eat breakfast either, but it's supposed to

jumpstart your metabolism for the day. I also find I don't want my usual

late night snacks when I eat breakfast.

thanks for your thoughts . . .

would not mind jumpstarting the metabolism, but breakfast . . . yuck.

Depends on what you consider breakfast. How about just a piece of fruit or a

smoothie? That's what I do for breakfast everyday.

And do you notice a difference in your eating requirements/metabolism, etc.

throughout the day?

a piece of fruit is not a bad idea--

I couldn't handle a smoothie.

I just feel a bit of hunger in the morning, so I eat. I would never be able

to handle more than a smoothie or a piece of fruit though. I don't know how

it affects my metabolism, because I've never tried not eating at breakfast

(except when fasting). I think it's as simple as listening to what your body

tells you. Are you hungry? Then eat. If not, then don't eat.

I eat the same things at every meal. It's not a big deal, it's just

food for fuel. I might eat some of the lighter vegetables and fruit in

the morning and save the " hard " stuff like avocados, bananas, dates,

raw nuts for when I need them later in the day after a day of emotions

and processing. My first meal of the day is smaller than other meals

too. I often drink a glass of water first thing in the morning.

 

All this categorizing of foods for certain times of the day is just a

habit of cooked food eaters. They have to occupy their minds around

some kind of strategy to eating so they can avoid the thought that they

shouldn't be eating that way in the first place.

 

I do want to eat in the morning, so I do. But sometimes not until late

in the morning as I'm not all that hungry early on either. And as I

mentioned, my first meal is not much compared to later ones.

I usually just eat a banana when I get up and then about 15-20 mins later follow

that up with vegetable juice. About all I can stomach first thing in the

morning.

Greetings,

 

I am one of those people who has always eaten breakfast, even as a child, and I

can't imagine leaving the house without eating my morning meal. But everyone is

different, and I think that it is detrimental to eat when one is not hungry. If

you truly don't feel hungry in the morning, don't eat until you are, whatever

time that happens to be. Don't try to set your personal body clock by anyone

else's schedule. Be true to yourself, and all will be well.

Hi,

 

One of the earliest recorded advocates of not eating breakfast was the

Hygienist Dr Edward Hooker Dewey with his " No Breakfast Plan " who found

that this simple measure was of inestimable benefit to his clientile.

Prof Szekely laid down the cycles of the day in which the main

eliminative cycle extended till midday, and advocated that the healthy

person should not eat before midday. In 1986 the Sydney and Macquarie

Universities carried out an experiment with rats which showed the

incidence of cancer being reduced by 93% in those eating between 12noon

and 6pm against the controls who were allowed to eat indiscrimately,

even though they ate the same amount of food by weight.
