help me skip breakfast!

I drink coffee every morning. don't think I could omit breakfast without it. I also drink a diet coke a day.

I have been trying to drink diet coke, but aspertame gives me massive migraines. I can drink one per day, anymore and I have to lie down the rest of the day my head throbs so bad!

I have a black decaf tea when I wake up and a decaf coffee around 10. I was a big breakfast eater too, always had a big bowl of yoghurt and cereal but I got used easily to skipping breakfast. For me it really is all about keeping yourself busy and getting out of the house.
I think it´s better to drink some coffee and get in more antioxidants if you have a hard time skipping breakfast, it would be worse if you would cave and eat. You could just have the coffee for a week or two and then try to take it out. Good luck!

Does it have to be diet Coke or Pepsi? What about other diet pops like diet 7up?

I've checked those and Diet 7up, Diet Sprite, and Sprite Zero are all good too

I am used to a cup of coffee and fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, etc. I have stopped eating anything until noon, but I am having a hard time giving up coffee. Is there something else, preferably warm, that I could drink in the morning that would still sway and not raise blood sugar?

I don't think you need to give up coffee if you use artificial sweetener in it.

The idea that caffeine blocks calcium absorption has been debunked - you seriously would have to drink a fatal amount of coffee before it messes with your calcium.

Weirdly, the half-and half is actually not terrible for blood sugar because it has no carbs, so if you count it in your days' cals and fat intake and then use artificial sweetener, it's ok.

Coffee does have antioxidants but you have to eat SOMETHING and even the most hardcore girl moms ate some food with some antioxidants in it. Lower nutrients doesn't mean NO nutrients.

Don't drink it any more - stating the obvious but your body is telling you something there. You don't need it, most of the baby girls conceived on the face of the globe throughout history were done without the use of aspartame!!!
