I feel like I do better without breakfast. When I eat breakfast, I want to eat all day long. Does any one else feel this way?

I used to skip breakfast nearly every day. Recently, I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes. I started eating breakfast because I was required to eat with each insulin dose. I made changes to my diet, aiming for less than 45 grams of carbohydrates for breakfast. This forced me to eat more yogurt and nuts. I also switched to cereal with few carbohydrates per serving (e.g., Cheerios). In a month, I didn’t need to inject insulin anymore. In about three months, I went from 228 pounds to 201 lbs. I feel less hungry and more energetic. I would encourage you to consider changing what to eat for breakfast. Try to eat more protein and healthy fats than you may have. A healthier and lower carbohydrate breakfast may change your attitude about skipping the first meal of your day.

Hey there! It’s interesting you feel this way, which makes me wonder what you are eating. If you are eating a lot of carbs and sugars then your body is breaking that down, storing it and wanting more sugar. I suggest a well balanced breakfast. Currently I eat an egg scramble with 2-3 eggs mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, spinach and a side of toast. I also pack snacks with me such as nuts and fruit tthroughout he day. Try a breakfast like this with veggies and a high amount of protien.

So, for me, it feels like you should just control your diet and what you usually eat at breakfast. I don’t have much to say about this argument, but i feel like I’m actually energized before going to school. But remember, don’t overload! šŸ˜

It starts your body for the day, gives it fuel and keeps from storing fat. It’s healthy to eat throughout the day. Just pick healthy snacks. Breakfast is super important. I now can’t start my day without brekkie

As soon as I eat, it opens my appetite. However, I have found certain foods to work really well in delaying the next meal: bananas, nuts, eggs, bacon, and porridge for instance. And of course drinking lots of water! Good luck on your journey.

What worked better for me was actually eating all day long. According to my nutricionist it was way better for me to eat several small mewls a day instead of a few big ones. So you may think it’s bad for you but it’s actually good.

Yes, definitely. Once my metabolism starts it’s like I’m eating all day. One thing that’s really helped is drinking a big glass of water every time I feel super hungry, and I lunch bento-box style at work instead of eating a big breakfast and lunch.

I feel the same. I make tea with a little cream in the morning and call it breakfast. I dont get hungry until earliest 10:30, then I have a small snack.. usually in hungry about 11:30, and then i just have lunch. Also, If I make myself eat breakfast, I gain weight very quickly.

That’s not my experience. I feel like if I miss breakfast, I’m more likely to eat unhealthily when my reserves of energy run out. But I’m not you. Maybe you could experiment to see what works? What if you track your diet, your feelings and your performance in tasks that matter to you over a few weeks, both with and without breakfast, and see if a pattern appears?

I feel more energetic and less hungry actually. Maybe you should consider what you eat for breakfast, just a friendly advise :)
