Question about skipping breakfast

[FitBlonde]

I usually have my last meal of the day at around 6-7pm. I'm up at around 6am and eat breakfast at 8-9am, which is around 14 hours without food. Is this okay or should I be eating later? I've tried to stretch it later but I start to get nauseous. Any advice would be appreciated!

I think if that's what works for you, and any more breakfast delay will make you nauseous, then that's what you should do.

Agreed.

I am doing about the same, but trying to keep 15-16 hrs of fast.

I usually have last meal (dinner) at 5.30-6.30 pm and then and eat a late (quite small) breakfast at 10-10.30, usually rice crackers with some marmelade or a slice of white toast with low fat cream cheese.

I do have 1-2 cups of coffee (black or with a little skimmed milk) when the rest of the family has breakfast (6.30 am) but I hope that's not considered as a meal.

Skipping breakfast is without doubt the hardest part for me in this diet, I am a breakfast person and always wake up more or less hungry. I have no problems skipping meat or counting calories, but it is tough to work all morning on empty stomach.

Tried to answer this thread but it didn't seem to work so I'll write a short version again :-)

I am doing about the same. Have early dinner at 5-6 pm and then try to get 15-16 hours of fast. Have a smaller breakfast (rice crackers with marmelade or a slice of toast) at 10-11 and then lunch at 12-13. I do have 1-2 cups of coffee with rest of the family at breakfast time 6.30 but I hope that doesn't affect my blood sugar too much.

Skipping breakfast is the toughest part of swaying for me - I wake up hungry so every hour until I can have something is really hard.

I have my dinner at 8pm then try to eat breakfast no earlier than 1030am so thats the same - 14 hours. You have to do what works for you. Atomic recommends anywhere between 12-16 hours so 14 is great!

Wow I am going a long time!! I eat my tea at 530/6 then don't eat breakfast at all and eat lunch at 1.15 at work 4 days a week and 12 on 3 days week x

Wow dreaming!! I can't believe you were worried about pigging out on your birthday if you are managing to do that!

I have been having a snack this week about 8pm as I've been overally hungry. I blame ovation

I think if you're nauseous then definitely eat. I don't find skipping breakfast the hardest anymore but the first week or so I just really wanted it. I think it was more the fact I 'couldn't' have it that made me want it more! xxx
