I think you need to listen to your body. I have a drink of lemon water and meditate before I have breakfast. It’s what works for you - just make sure you eat sensibly

I’d say it is. My husband has the same problem, on the weekend’s he just waits for me to wake up, which is usally hours after, and then his stomachs good to go for a family breakfast.

I think it’s better to listen your body, so if you feel good when you eat 2 hours after wake up - you do it right. Personally I’m prefer to eat 1 hour after wake up. At first hour I do my routine, like drinking water, have a time for praying, focusing on my gratitude, write a day Todo list, do some exercises or stretch and so on.

Do whatever works best for you and your body. I personally can’t exercise on a full stomach, so I exercise later in the day instead of in the morning. If you need to eat breakfast 2 hours later, then do it. But, make sure not to skip it and don’t mark it off on your habit tracker until it’s done.

I think so. Maybe you just ate too late at the night before and your stomach isn’t ready or maybe it’s just the way your body funcion.

Why not.... ? I think breakfast is breaking the fast that has taken place during the night. I drink water for the first hour after waking and then eat when I’m hungry an hour or two later.

Yes of course! The point of this is to help us not to drive us crazy. Follow it the way that works best for u and keep on going

The first meal that you consume is a "breakfast". The reason why it’s called that is because during the day, ideally you’re eating every few hours, but at night your body is fasting as we get our Zzz’s, so our first meal of the day is breaking the overnight fast.

Yes, as long as you aren’t skipping another meal because you have eaten breakfast too late, it’s still breakfast. You have to feed your body in order to get it powered up for the day.

That’s a great question. I have the same problem also. I like to have my coffee and then often times I forget to even eat breakfast until very very late in the morning or early in the afternoon. It’s hard to know what the right thing to do is with all of the suggestions about breakfast being the most important meal of the day and also about fasting being healthy. I think the bottom line is you have to do what works for you and that makes you feel good
