The Most Important Meal of the Day



I don't eat it.

Ok, correction. I RARELY eat it. Only if I'm starving, or if there's free food in the office. I'm a sucker for free food.

Anyhow. I don't care what nutritionists say - when I DO eat breakfast, I am hungrier ALL DAY. I know this contradicts every scientific study, but I kind of think there might be some kind of bunk science going on. Kind of like when they used to make a huge deal about 'whatever you do, don't wake a sleepwalker!' until some doctor came on and said that, surprise, there really is no serious danger or negative side effects to waking a sleepwalker.

That, or maybe I am a scientific anomoly. Or, maybe the scientists are lying, because they don't want people to be discouraged from eating breakfast because they're all weight/calorie conscious. I don't know. My main reason for not eating it is mostly because I am just not hungry in the morning, and by the time I actually start to get hungry, it's almost lunch time.

Anyhow, I'm sure this was a post my readers care greatly about. There you go!

I never, ever eat breakfast either. Like you, I am never hungry... but I get my lunch craving around 11:16.

Scientific theory says that the more, smaller meals you eat a day, the higher metabolism you'll have, the less weight you'll gain, and the healthier you'll be (assuming the food is reasonably healthy). This is probably true for me, but you seem to follow the same diet and you're in great shape.

I really think it's how much you exercise that counts.

Oh yeah, sorry about that. I left my Iphone in the Burmese Highlands and there are some numbers in there I CANNOT lose, so I had to go back and get it. Sooo, that's where I've been!!
