Post by: tigerlilly01 on January 23, 2012, 05:10:23 am
I always eat breakfast but I am trying to loose weight so I am trying to go lighter.... any ideas?

This morning I ate about 1/2 cup of the Thick Greek Style type of yogurt with about 1/3 cup of blueberries.

Well, I eat breakfast but not the first thing in the morning. If I wake up at around 7 o'clock, then I eat sometime around 10 o'clock. What I have is basically eggs, sometimes I spice it up with a little bacon or bacon bits. Being diabetic I cannot have carbs or bread which turns into sugar. But it fills me up.

I eat breakfast every morning even  though I am not a big eater early in the morning.  I am trying to eat better to lose weight so I eat egg beaters and canadian bacon and black coffee.  Not much of a bread person so do not eat toast.  Sometimes I eat cereal like cheerios and maybe once a week I will cook a full breakfast with grits and eggs

 :wave: Breakfast is your most important meal. You don't eat for a long period of time between yesterday's last meal and when you wake in the morning.

Eat some scrambled egg whites with a little oatmeal and a banana. Get some real fuel into your system. Hope this helps a little.  :fish:

Yes, we pretty much always eat breakfast.  Cereal, toast, eggs, oatmeal, pop tarts,bacon or sausage.  Not all at the same time of course.  This is just some of the usual's.  Sometimes we eat left over dinner also. lol
Cold pizza is a favorite.

I usually eat something in the morning but not as soon as I wake up.  I'm not a big fan of breakfast food so I usually warm up leftovers or have a untraditional breakfast.  I wish I was better about eating in the morning though.

I have never been able to eat breakfast first thing in the morning.  I know it is not good to skip breakfast, but I enjoy it more around mid-morning.

I always try to eat a low carb breakfast in the morning. Days like today when I am running late, it is just a cup of coffee on the go.  I always feel better when I eat something light in the morning.

I generally stick to oatmeal most days and go out on sunday.  I must say though that cold pizza or warmed up chinese do call my name now and then for breakfast. :wave: :wave:

Egg whites are a great breakfast item for someone on a diet. Oatmeal with skim milk. Look for things that are high in protein and low in fat. That way you will get the boost you need without unnecessary calories.

I love breakfast - my day is always off when I get distracted and don't have breakfast.  I usually alternate between a hot egg based breakfast (scrambled, over easy, soft boiled), a cereal based breakfast (typically cold cereal with fruit or oatmeal with raisins), or pancake/waffle breakfast topped with fruit.  I have some sort of fruit most breakfasts.  Always have a cup of coffee.  Sometimes with the eggs, I'll have a slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter.

One oatmeal dish I used to eat was oatmeal mixed with some cottage cheese, almond slivers and cinnamon (warm it up a bit after adding in the cottage cheese).  I got that out of a fitness book and on paper it sounded bad, but was really tasty.  The texture was what I needed to get used to - was a bit like tapioca pudding...which was okay because I like tapioca!   :thumbsup:


I'd recommend if one is trying to lose weight - don't cut back on breakfast.  You have all day to burn off those calories.  It's best to cut back on dinner as most people don't have a lot of physical activities at the end of the day to burn those calories.  Also, a bigger breakfast helps stave off late morning/mid-afternoon munchies.

I eat breakfast everyday and have found the best way to give my tummy that full feeling is to drink 8 - 10 oz of water before I eat my meal.  Today I'm having a sliced apple, 1 sliced strawberry, a handful of peanuts and a handful of special K cereal... I'm chasing that all down with another 8 - 10 oz of water.  My Uncle told me years ago if you're trying to loose weight, take your weight and divide that in 1/2.  1/2 of your weight should be drank in ounces of water.  IE; if you weight 180 than you should be drinking 90 oz of water a day.  It works.

Always a cup of coffee with cream. Now found a good healthy coffee with ganoderma mushroom, claims it has many benefits. Search ganoderma coffee if you'd like. Can't tell you the company, it might break the rules here, but I am sure you can find it. They have coffee, tea, pills.... Anyway, I also have hmmmm I know I shouldn't ... LOL but I have sweet bread, like a cinnamon roll or maybe buttered toast.

I eat breakfast every morning!  Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.  Eggs, potatoes and sausage wrapped in a  whole wheat tortilla shell
with cheese is the best.  Keeps me full the whole morning!

To me breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  Breakfast provides everyone with the energy and nutrients that we need for the almost entire day.Studies also show that breakfast can be important in maintaining a healthy body weight.

Tips on Eating a Quick and Healthy Breakfast

    Pick 2-3 foods, including at least one from each of the following food groups:
    -bread and grain (i.e.cereal, toast, muffin)
    -milk and milk product (i.e. low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk)
    -fruit or vegetable group (i.e bananas, apples, carrots)
    Pick up portable breakfast items when at the grocery store. You should buy foods like fruit, low-fat yogurt, whole grain breakfast bars, or granola bars for those mornings when you have to eat breakfast on the go.

I was told that eating breakfast really keeps you going and active all day.  When I am on a diet I make sure that I have breakfast everyday.  I have a child so, I should have breakfast everyday.  I have been eatting oatmeal for breakfast. Eating oatmeal is suppose to slim your arms and figure. I eat oatmeal at least three times a week.  I think it has helped alot. I also have toast most mornings, sometimes plain and sometimes I will add something to it. I do not like yogurt, the taste and smell makes me feel nausiated sometimes.  I have a child that just loves to eat yogurt. She does pretty good and is not overweight.

I rarely have breakfast.  If I'm lucky at least once a month will meet friends and family at local pancake house for a Sunday breakfast.

It's good to eat breakfast, but in terms of losing weight by eating,
I'd say lay off food that contain starch and too much sugar, (or eat at a minimal amount)

Not always. Sometimes I will if there's something that I feel I can handle. It also depends on how early in the morning it is or if I'm even awake before lunch time.  ;D

I don't eat breakfast I try to eat one balanced meal a day which is supper time because that is in the middle of the waking hours I can't afford to eat like I am suppose to. But I have been told to loose weight you have to eat three meals a day (but watch the serving sizes and make sure you eat out of the food groups) and have snacks in between like fruit, yogurt, fresh veggies.  The main thing is to watch calories, fat, protein, and carbs.  You can go to a website that has the daiy food chart to find out how much of the food groups you need to eat per day.  Loosing weight also means exercise.  My sister lost weight by eating right most of the time and she walked at least two miles a day about three days a week, than on the days she didn't walk or couldn't due to weather she had a chair thing where it like helps with sit up type exersize and she would do it in settings like 20 fast forward and 20 by twisting on each left side and right side she lost about 60 pounds in ten months or so.  If you drink carbanated soda that is really bad for you, don't gruge your self but limit yourself the same goes for deserts or you can make diabetic deserts by replacing sure with splenda which taste really good.  Good luck! There is a website called SparkPeople that help with good dieting try it they give a lot of good advice.  Let me know how it goes.
