Breakfast is already said to be the most important meal of the day. Experts now believe eating it at the crack of dawn could help you live longer. Early research found eating late at night increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Researchers tracked 34,000 Americans aged 40 for several decades. Results found those that ate breakfast between 6.00am & and 8.00am were 6% less likely to die prematurely from major illnesses like heart disease & cancer, than those that ate at 8.00am, & 12% less risk of early death than those who first ate at 10am. Skipping breakfast or eating late disrupts the body's food clock that controls feeding - related hormones such as insulin. Hormones helps burn up glucose in the bloodstream, eating later may mean the body gradually makes less insulin causing glucose levels to rise leading to diabetes, obesity & heart disease. So ladies do you eat early or are you one those that skips breakfast entirely, or eat late?.

Dear Amanda .
I eat a little breakfast at about 07:00 hours before I go to work in the morning.
Then only beverages until 12:00 hours when I have lunch.
Love Sylvia.

So fasting is bad?
I only eat breakfast on the weekends... eggs and bacon... yum!
Hello honey...xx.
I only eat breakfast on my days off, usually between 8 and 9. This is usually cereal or toast with thick marmalade....or the great treat of a bacon sarnie.........just a couple of coffee's when I am working.
I don't eat late, it tends to just lie there and make me feel uncomfortable.....a cup of hot chocolate before bed is all I need!!

I always breakfast 1st thing, and I rise at 6am most days.
Not really through choice, but through child drop off and work shifts - but I have always been up before 7am, and can't get my brain in gear until I've eaten and had a cup of tea. Never coffee.
Breakfast is usually a large bowl of high bran cereal with fruit and nuts, and often fruit juice and additional fresh fruits.
It's all my stomach can take - unless I am in a hotel, in which case, the nearest I can get to a full English breakfast, while staying vegetarian, so eggs, beans, toast, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, vegetarian sausages, halloumi, pastries... I can eat for England when it comes to an English!!!
After a large breakfast, coffee is essential to prevent me going back to bed to sleep it off...🤣🤣🤣
But only in hotels, reason being, probably, because it's there...
Love Laura

Oh Amanda, now you are making me rethink my diet. I have been intermittent fasting (not eating between 7 pm and 11 am) and it is helpful in losing weight, which is a good thing. But based on your advice, I shall forgo that meal plan and try to eat a small healthy meal first thing in the morning and then a small healthy lunch. Where I mess up my diet is at supper; the food is healthy but the quantity is too great. Healthy portion sizes are supposed to fit in the palm of your hand; yikes that just doesn't work for me at supper. I love cooking and I love food too much to deprive myself. Being happy is also important for a long life. I'm counting on the healthy foods I consume to assist notwithstanding the large portion size. Thanks for the good advice Amanda, Have a lovely week. Hugs, Krista.
I have an active/physical job so breakfast is very important to me. I usually eat around 3:30-4 am and it starts with 2 eggs along with 4-6 oz of egg whites 85g of spinach 85g of cauliflower and a whole avocado. Mix it all together and it holds me till about 8am. Then little snack every 3 hours.
16 to 18 hours fasting is good for the body. It drives down insulin resistance.
There is a "Omad" movement. One meal a day. Others create a 6 hour grazing window in the day.
I have been doing keto for some years. High fat.(70% of diet.) Moderate protein. (20%) low carbs. (10%) when on it, I tend to naturally skip meals because I'm not hungry.
I broke my protocols the other day. Breads. Sausage Roll. And Chiko Roll. And Vanilla Slice.
It threw me out of ketosis, and left me craving carbs big time for a few days. And feeling like crap.
LOL steph anyone can do it if they want to. gets easier each day and week. Today my one week post op and feeling pretty good. pass the bacon hehe.

I am a lucky person I've been 11 - 11.5 stone for 30 years.
I also have a bottle of real ale for supper every night.
I think it really depends on your own metabolism, my body just burns it off Iknow some people just are not as lucky.
Love Sarah

Hi Sarah, absolutely right it does greatly depend on ones metabolism, you certainly sound like one of the lucky ones, lol Amanda xx
Hi Stephanie, I think a lot of people find it hard to adjust their volume of cooking when the household shrinks. it's also easy to not want to waste food. I 'm sure in the future young school children will reference the "battle of the bulge" in history as Stephanie Plumb' s wobble fight, as the real " battle of the Bulge" the German offensive in the world war 2, would be air brushed out or re-written or simply not taught.

Hi Paula, I would have to substitute spinach for broccoli other wise good to go. Lol Amanda
