Can I drink a glass of skimmed milk in the morning or dose that count as eating? What about cranberry light or crystal light? Thanks

I think milk counts as eating, it's protein, calories, and your system will need to kick in to metabolize it, so you won't get the low blood sugar benefits of skipping breakfast entirely. I think something with 0 calories wouldn't count, so perhaps if those drinks were just the aspartame and flavorings you'd still be good. Maybe someone has better info?
Thank you, lindi, I'm really struggling without breakfast!
I have been having peppermint tea for breakfast when I am really hungry. Wonder if that counts?
I would imagine it depends on the individual - I definitely have low blood sugar in the mornings, even if I have a drink ... but then I feel feint for half the morning even if I have a smaller than usual breakfast! I haven't started the diet yet, not looking forward to it!

Finally after two weeks I am feeling like skipping breakfast isn't the most painful experience ever....and I'm still only counting "skipping breakfast" as making it to ten a.m. I am such a putz!!
Good to know I'm not the only one, I make it until about 10 or 11. I keep thinking it's not that since I'm up from 6! It would be alot easier to make it to 12 if I could lie in until 10!
If it makes you feel any better my best friend never skipped breakfast and had 2 girls!! I know having no breakfast is hard! :(
Thank you! I think I'm just going to try and make it as late as I can and if I have a glass of skimmed milk it's not the worse thingin the world!
No, I totally agree! Thx for helping out!!!Quote:
