Do you eat breakfast?

Not hungry in the mornings, have a cup of tea and maybe a Weetabix, or a small carton of joghurt,
Everything tastes better later on.
Good to hear we are all different.

I have always eaten breakfast - neither OH nor DS can be persuaded, but coudn't get through the morning without my cuppa and either toast/crumpets snd marmalade, fruit juice or cereal. But couldn't be bothered with a cooked breakfast.

I can remember as a child, having a neighbour who was a scarey hospital matron. My Dad happened to mention that he never ate breakfast. "You wouldn't expect a car to start without petrol would you?" she bellowed "so why try to start your engine without fuel?" My Dad ate breakfast every day after that (2 morning coffee biscuits but at least it was something )!

All the years I was working I only had a coffee for breakfast, but since retiring I enjoy plain yoghurt with some blueberries or banana. I know porridge is good for you, but I feel so full and bloated afterwards if I have that occasionally in winter.

I have porridge in winter sprinkled with cinnamon and in summer a bowl of 100% oatflakes with fruit eg blueberries, and almond milk, but I have to eat before having a drink - if I get up really early and have a cup of tea (ginger and honey) my stomach feels full and I don't fancy eating anything for hours.

I like a smoothie: splash of Kent apple juice, coconut water, a few cashew nuts, a banana, blueberries, spinach and then any other fruit that's hanging around. Delicious and filling. And healthy.

I've just been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, but haven't been prescribed any medication as they hope to control it with diet and exercise. I have an appointment to see the dietician, but not for another month!

I never have breakfast, usually having a snack for lunch between 12 and 1 and our main meal at about 6.30, but now I'm wondering whether I should be forcing myself to have breakfast. Advice please!

Can't do without breakfast - DH and I do our own thing during the week and It's usually a sugar-free cereal or porridge, I don't like fruit in the morning. On Saturdays we sit down together and have boiled eggs & soldiers with mugs of tea, Sundays is quite often croissants & coffee or occasionally a bacon roll.

Hi Margsus. I am Type 1 diabetic and have been reading a book called the 8 week blood sugar diet by Dr Micheal Mosley. It is aimed at type 2 diabetics and if followed it can reverse so you need no medication and you can live normally. Well worth a look.

Margus if you can manage without breakfast ,do. Fasting is good for T2 diabetics, Go to DietDoctor, on line. All the information on T2, nutrition, recipes , fasting is there. Good luck. It can be done. As I have proved Reversed my T2 in 6 months.

I remember reading that people who eat breakfast are slimmer tag those who don't. I love breakfast, fruit, muesli, yoghurt , croissants, coffee, green tea all yum .

I hate breakfast and have never eaten it. I dislike most of the breakfast options, fresh fruit, cereal, toast etc. If I do eat anything for breakfast it makes me feel hungry all day long and I end up eating far more than I would normally. It can also have the effect of making me feel sick as a dog. If I don't eat breakfast and just have a cup of coffee or tea, I can get by easily till 4 or 5pm on just drinks, and then perhaps a banana. Dinner at 7pm, and thats it for me. Always done me well, and I am only eight and a half stone and very active for my age which is 68.

I'm with Christalbee on this one - find once I start eating I carry on - but I don't fancy anything at breakfast time anyway. My mother gave up trying to get me to eat breakfast when I was at primary school because I used to be sick mid-morning and the teachers sent me home.

Now I have to eat in the morning because the medication I'm on needs to be taken with food, so I have 50g of plain yoghourt to line my stomach (large pot divided into 10 portions). But I do struggle more than I used to with my weight, and I still sometimes bring it up again.

I have tea or coffee for breakfast - rarely eat lunch, maybe a small tuna sandwich or a very small ( tea plate size salad) eat a main evening meal with DH and DS at around 18:30/19:00. If I have breakfast I find I put on weight. Enjoy a fry up on high days and holidays, but other than that don't generally eat till the evenings.

I have the same thing every day for breakfast and have done for years and years - one Weetabix and two cups of coffee. I don't like cooked breakfasts but if I have nothing at all I feel faint later on in the morning.

Have a brunch, stop you raiding the biscuit tin.i eat brekkie never bothered me,

I always have breakfast and have whatever I fancy, always high protein, high fat and low carb. I prefer natural full fat yoghurt and fresh fruit but often have grilled bacon with tomato and/or mushrooms, or very occasionally fish like kippers or smoked haddock. Never have processed cereals because they are so high in carbs which convert 100% to sugar. Have unprocessed oats as porridge very occasionally but never with sugar, always whole milk or cream.

The old adage works well for me:
Breakfast like a King,
Lunch like a prince,
Supper like a pauper.

We are all different and what suits one doesn't necessarily suit another.

Almost always porridge these days, with added cinnamon, maple syrup and cream.

Eggs - in any shape or form. Occasionally porridge, occasionally nutty muesli or toast and marmalade. But usually eggs.
