Skippng Breakfast

[Lizand3Bs]

Any tips on skipping breakfast? i have been a regular breakfast eater my whole life. oatmeal,omelet, cereal bread pancakes anything with high protein so I'm having a hard time skipping without getting shaky and sweaty 😢. 😥 I wake up at 5 or 5:30 and have coffee but it doesn't help keep hunger at bay. .
Thanks

I had two fried egg whites and a coffee for pretty much my entire sway- 11 weeks. I was still hungry, but it was just enough to get me by until lunch. I actually got used to it. i usually eat muesli with fruit and yoghurt, so this was quite a change. Good luck :)

If I stay busy it is easy for me to skip breakfast- since you wake so early you also don't need to hold off too long at breakfast as it is the fasting time which is important. I would keep doing the coffee and maybe do a herbal tea (something which won't mess up the sway but will add a little flavor to your hot water LOL- I did peppermint.) After a few weeks your body will get used to it but it is hard in the beginning!

Try eating an earlier dinner and then you could have an earlier breakfast. It's the length of time fasted important more than when I think. I just found it easier to skip breakfast but do what works for you :)

I know this may not help you now, but it does get easier over time. I too was a regular eater, and now I am shocked that I can wait to eat with a 16+ hour overnight fast!

I would slowly push back the time you eat. When I first started, 12 hour overnight fast was all I could do. Every day I pushed it back 30 minutes until after two weeks I could easily do a 16 hour overnight fast. Start counting you time based on when you ate your last meal.

You're doing great! Keep up the good work!

Just start by pushing it back as far as you can. It doesn't have to be skipped entirely, just wait an hour or two or three and over time you do adjust to it.

Thanks ladies this is all so overwhelming I just want to be relaxed for when the time comes to start TTC again and skipping breakfast is hard for me thanks for the tips.

It will get easier though I count the days I can have breakfast again, but I cope

Some people believe that any herb teas are "alkalinizing" and boy friendly but I doubt anything sways by much as long as you have them only 2-3 times a week. I would not drink any herbal tea daily or more than daily not becuase of swaying, but simply because that becomes medicinal quantities and we do not have enough info to know if they are safe.

Most of us have dropped the sodium restriction and we have actually been getting much better results since we did. It makes it WAY easier to stick to the diet and it doesn't work, biologically it's impossible.

I have never gone without breakfast until I done this diet u will slowly get used to it just go as long as u can and wk by wk try a little later. Good luck x

I've been a consistent breakfast eater over the past ten years -- mainly oatmeal or cereal, and always woke up hungry and ready to eat! I've been skipping breakfast for about 4 months now, although I do have coffee with cream and sugar when I wake up. Since it's real sugar, I don't know if it's technically 'fasting', but I really hope it's better than not having a full breakfast. Either way, I think since it's real sugar (not Splenda or aspartame), it helps satisfy a bit more, so I can hold off until about noon to eat solid food.

As everyone says it just gets easier I did it for 8 long months! I personally found going cold turkey easier than allowing myself some fruit or minimal food. I would wake at 7am have a hot drink and then not eat until 11.30am. I soon got into the routine and the swing of it, it takes a month or so to find the right balance for you X good luck X

No I diddnt. But I'd often use a bit of salted butter in the pan. I think vegetable oil is 'better' though.

I have 2 dd's and with both I had something small for breakfast around 9:30 and I was up from 7-7:30, usually a banana or cereal. Dinner was eaten no later than 5 pm so my fasting time was quite long also.

[keepthefaith]

It does get easier with time, I was surprised how quickly I got used to it! Coffee always helped too!

[The Anchor]

Coffee for me has always been a great meal replacement. Not sure why.

[atomic sagebrush]

I always had coffee with real live sugar even tho it's a cheat - got a DD doing that
