Little or no breakfast can encourage the body to store more fat to compensate.


I'm doing alright as far as fat goes. I weightlift and have a flat stomach a few pounds away from a sixpack.

Honestly, my stomach is uneasy in the morning. I just don't care to eat them. By the time it settles down, it's lunch time at 11 or 11:30.

There's all sorts of schools of thought on what the body needs to keep "healthy" but I have had better luck with 2 big meals than a bunch of smaller ones. If my body wanted breakfast, it will ask for it. As of now, I give my body what it wants and I'm happy with the results.

Did everyone really blow by this and not say WTH?
You drink a 12 cup pot of coffee for breakfast?

Isn't that like caffeine to help you run up the side of a building? It just sounds so insane. and yet everyone else just didn't mind or notice.. I must be out of touch... But i've never had coffee so maybe i dont know how it works.

I made waffles this weekend and had way too many. I cooked them a little raw and then put them in the toaster the past few days and then added a little PB. And a cup of milk.
Pretty good stuff.

We like our waffles with peanut butter and maple syrup. Maybe add some sliced banana. And on the special occasion, a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

A whole wheat pita bread with roasted red pepper hummus (I'm taking a week off from the usual cinnamon raisin bagels), an apple, and a mug of black tea.

I've been eating Quaker oatmeal w and w/o a banana for breakfast almost every day (i'm a bit too young to have high cholesterol, so i'm trying the oatmeal theory). But i'm picky and I only eat Maple Brown Sugar.

I go to Frisch's on Sunday morning and get the breakfast bar. Gotta have goetta, (only served there on weekends) which is how I get my steel-cut oats...

I do draw the line at tartar sauce on hamburgers, which is "the thing" here...

Well, when I was a cook at a Frisch's Big Boy (in Florida), the "special sauce" that was put on the burgers was exactly that: tartar sauce.

That's one way to look at it. Another way is that since acid suppressants increase your risk of belly infections (the acid is a protective factor) that by adding supplemental acid I'm protecting myself from infection... ok so maybe not...

I usually try to have a healthier diet (I love breakfast foods, just not at breakfast time) but get really unhealthy during busy months. Last month for instance I was sleeping at 11PM to midnight and getting up a 4 AM since I usually show up to work around 4:30-5 AM so I don't really have much time for breakfast. The extra time that I would spend eating, I would rather just invest into a little more sleep. The diet pepsi helps keep me a little more awake in the morning until my brain realized that I'm actually awake and decides to kick in.
