jdl4ever's diet: Don't eat breakfast

[jdl4ever]

For the past 8 years I never ate any breakfast.  I just eat lunch and dinner and eat whatever I want, including hight carb and fatty foods.  I never gained any weight this way.  I think it's healthy to skip breakfast since I think it prevents diabetes and lets you eat whatever you want.  Who likes my idea? 

[Israel]

I like it.

But it doesnt work for me. 

[Nic Brookes]

Breakfast is scientifically proven to be the most important meal of the day.

Nic is quite right, it gives you a boost to the day and eating in the morning doesn't keep on  the calories but eating at night does.

It also depends what you do everyday. At school, you'd concentrate more if you eat breakfast especially if you have fruit.

[Nic Brookes]

Yes. I agree. Fruit is a fantastic and healthy breakfast.

The perfect breakfast is a nice bowl of cereal.

The perfect breakfast is a nice bowl of cereal.

It depends what type of cereal. If it is mass-produced chocolate flavour cereal, then it is very bad. Musli or cornflakes are very good though. In addition to a glass of fresh orange juice and a piece of fruit, there is no better breakfast.

I never enjoy waking up when i know breakfast is going to be boring.

Sarah, are you going to make your point or are you just going to stab at what I said?

[ftf]

She's just saying that she likes to have an interesting breakfast.

My breakfast is never interesting, I've been eating exactly the same cereal for breakfast for the last couple of years every single day, with the same drink.

Sarah, are you going to make your point or are you just going to stab at what I said?

Oh i thought i was making a personal point. If i know theres nothing to eat in the house except stale bread and herbs then i don't bother waking up until the last minute.

The perfect breakfast that gives you enough energy till around 1 p.m. to start off your morning is the following.  Grained cereal such as Cheerios, with 2% milk and sliced banana or strawberries, egg whites only, and a glass of juice (orange, grapefruit or tomato).

Sounds excellent.

Yacov, not eating breakfast is very very unhealthy.

[Bodhi]

If you aren't hungry that's great...skipping one meal a day, any meal would probably be beneficial to almost everyone.......except Chaim......someone should make him a sandwich before a strong wind comes along   I wish I had such problems.

[Sarah]

In the summer, eating deems too much effort.

[MasterWolf1]

The problem is especially in the States that they make the dinner meals the big meals.  I normally have my evening meal the smallest.  I eat 3 times a day and lunch being the big meal so you have a good amount of the day being active to burn it off. When people eat heavy meals at night they aren't as active as say mid day.  So it all goes to the thighs, belly and butt.

My favorite breakfast when I lived in Europe was one healthy scoop of Jitrnice[a oatmeal like stuff made from ground pork with garlic and seasoning], one scoop Jelitka[like Jitrnice but with different seasonings,barley and blood], some fresh dark rye bread, mustard,horseradish,pickles and 2 beers. Breakfast of champions!!! And all for about $2!!! Can't find it here,though.

[ftf]

Sorry Allen-T, but that sounds utterly disgusting to me.

I can see why it comes with the 2 beers it sounds spicy!

[Sarah]

Allen-t with blood!?

Masterwolf i've seen the portion sizes in America and they are nearly double that of here!

The last one has a link to a place in Brooklyn that sells the sausage.

You should see people going to coffee shops what kind of a breakfast they get, all that food is enough food for a whole day in just one sitting.

[Sarah]

Thats vile.

Is there a starbucks on every street corner like there is here?

[Dan]

Isn't Starbuck's coffee the best ever? 
I don't really drink coffee but their iced Frappacino is great. I drink it once or twice a week, so is that OK? Instead of breakfast...

[MasterWolf1]

Starbucks is way over priced.  I make coffee at home but if I am out most of the day working, then maybe I will stop at a Duncan Donuts.  Their iced coffee is very good.  Try it with lowfat milk and Splenda.  I like Splenda.  Stay away from Sweet N Low though.  The chemical Sweet N Low has is horrible.  And leaves a funky after taste plus has been shown it can lead to cancer.
