help me skip breakfast!

[carmella_marie]

I am a big breakfast person, a very healthy eater over all (probably why I have a DS!) I started the diet last week, and the hardest part has been skipping breakfast. 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?

you could always have decaf coffee? or a peppermint tea?

if it's really difficult to drop you could try gradually pushing it out later and later? i.e. have food at 9am for a week, then 10am, then 11am, etc.?

A cup of coffee or water to fill your belly up and it helps to get out of the house and get busy. I did do this a lot not because I wasn't hungry but due to time constraints.

I am not having trouble skipping the food, just the coffee, but I heard coffee is not good for pink, the caffiene blocks calcium absoption and even decaf has a lot of antioxidants, plus I put half and half in it, and I know the fat doesn;t help. Maybe tea with splenda would be better?

I know, I know. But I did drink a cup of coffee with half n half every morning. Still do. No sugar.

haha, well if you drank coffee and half and half and got 3 DD I will trust you!

I drank coffee in the morning as part of my sway - I couldn't have survived the morning without food without it. I also had tons of Diet Pepsi throughout the day which contains caffeine but still sways pink.

I thought it was diet coke that swayed pink? Does diet coke have aspertame too?

[Mochagirl]

Both Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi sway the same - I just prefer the taste of Diet Pepsi.

I drank 2 coffees a day (I wasn't bothered about the calcium absorption thing because that wasn't part of my sway and I've read you'd have to drink a ridiculous amount of caffeine to block calcium anyway!). I also drank lots of diet coke or pepsi.
