I saw some posts before the new forums about how important breakfast is while your dieting.
I have a big problem then because theres alot of time I get too busy, sleep in, etc that I miss breakfast. What kind of effect is this having on my dieting plans? Thanks |

I'm not real sure of the effects, but I do know it's supposed to be important. I, for one, can't skip breakfast. I'd go insane.
How about grabbing a granola bar or a piece of fruit for breakfast while you are on the "run". That way you get something quick and healthy and don't skip breakfast. -------------------- ~*Karen*~

I find that I lose weight if I eat breakfast and hang onto it if I don't. I've started either grabbing a Nutragrain bar or drinking an instant breakfast type of drink to get some nutrition in me. The down side of that is that I get hungry sooner

I think I've heard something to the effect that your body has more energy to burn calories throughout the day if you eat a healthy breakfast... also then you're not as inclined to over eat at lunch. I never ate breakfast before I got pg - now I'm in the habit and I can't live without it.

I heard that having breakfast kickstarts your metablism into gear so that its working for the rest of the day which may be why it helps to lose weight. Also, your brain needs the nutrients to work to its fullest. I was always told that breakfast was the most important meal of the day! xx

Well, my thoughts on this are as follows, if you're sleeping through what most of us would call breakfast, then lunch IS your breakfast
But as for the times when you're up and just busy, try to eat some fruit or a breakfast bar on the run! -------------------- NICHOLE

Thanks everyone. I will now try to always have at least a breakfast bar or something when I first get up.
Unfortuantly, another one of my weak problems is that I tend to stay up late but still get up fairly early which makes me want a nap during lunch or something. I pretty sure this is one reason I can seem to loose the weight I want to. |
