Question about skipping breakfast

[jennibel]

I eat dinner at about 4:30 in the (late) afternoon. When I get up DH does the kids breakfast and I go to the gym 6:20-7:40 by the time I get into work by 10am I am starving so I often eat my 'lunch' then. So I eat twice, at 10 and 4:30 ish, I hope thats good enough of a stretch. On the 3 days I dont work i can stretch to nearer 11/12 sometimes later. I just find I cant concentrate or get on at work if I dont have something, I just sit there and think about food!

I think if your feeling nauseas then your blood sugar is dropping, which is the whole idea of skipping breakfast right?

The specifics do not matter and you do not need to do what anyone else is doing, only what works for you. This can even change from day to day. What matters is you have a nice long run with no food coming in AND also that you are not so miserable and sickish that you can't function. I don't want anyone to get so caught up in a particular schedule that you are ignoring the needs of your body and your life as a whole. this is meant to be an easy and flexible diet!

Yes, but we want it to be as painless and easy to do as is possible because misery is a recipe for cheating, and is not necessary anyway.

I would sure love to see you add in a 3rd meal.

Remember ladies, it's 2 or 3 meals - some people like big meals less often, others like 3 more often, and both are 100% allowed and fine on LE.
