Is it good to force yourself to eat in the morning even if you are normally not hungry?

Forcing yourself to eat is never ok. If you are not hungry, or just feel bloated try a smoothie packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein instead. You can have most of this set up the day before and just blend it in the morning if needed.

yes, it is okay for you to force yourself because breakfast is an important meal but if you do not want to eat then it is NEVER okay for somebody else to force you to eat.

I trained myself to have a breakfast since 2019,when I entered hospitality industry. I used to have breakfast at 11 or 12,like brunch. But, since I work in the hotel and had morning shifts that start from 7, I need a breakfast or I will not able to stand up for hours and talk to people. I thought I’ll start to gain weight and lazy or easily tired by eating more food. But I just get energetic, more fresh, and less eat

It’s a hard because I start to feel hingry during the night or very early in the morning. So for me, breakfast is the reason I wake up. Now, if you are usually hungry later than right after waking up, do some other things between your first glass of water and the moment you will eat (low intensity sport, clean up, shower...) after 30/45min you can making a nice breakfast (proper cooking like eggs will open your stomach) and then you can eat! Breakfast will then not be related to your hunger but rather to your routine.

Yes breakfast is really important and it is not normal to be hungry when you just woke up. But you haven’t had food for around 8 hours.

I think, you should wait a little bit before you eat. Like give it an hour or so but you should always eat breakfast! So yes!

No, because I like to let my digestive system rest and have a big meal when I’m hungry. Also, my focus is way better when I don’t eat.

Its good. It gives you a sense of structure to start your day and breakfasts often have more fiber than other meals. From now on, I’m trying to eat breakfast every day, unless I’ve had a large meal the night before.

You can’t really force yourself to eat anything big. First you might need to figure out what you wanna eat. Think about if you want some toast or fruit or cereal or even just a cup of tea or coffee. Think about those things first, and then eat. Don’t eat to big because you might not feel well afterwards. To start, just have fruit, or just one toast. Good luck! Start small, you’ll get there eventually. :)

I think so, sometimes our body feels like it’s not hungry but once we begin to eat it will feel better. I struggle a lot with my eating habits, if you can’t bring yourself to eat in the morning you may want to look into making yourself a Smoothie! Super tasty, quick, and healthy!
