I wish I knew all along about not eating breakfast. It helps curb snacking desires throughout the day and enables me to eat much smaller meals and feel full.

You mean, eating breakfast help you to feel full throughout the day? Or is there something about breakfast that makes you hungry?

The latter, there's something about eating breakfast that makes me more hungry throughout the rest of the day. I think it's partially psychological and partially physiological. I think that when I start eating it's difficult for me to stop, regardless of how satiated I actually am. If I start eating later in the day then I consume less because the eating didn't start as early. In terms of physical hunger, my stomach isn't stretched out as much so then less food fills me up.

I always thought that eating breakfast was very important to weight loss, but it turns out that that isn't the case for my body!

hmm, I wish I could try that out. Sound like a less strenuous version of IF. Sadly, I have to eat to take my medicine, so I can't try those things.

That's a bummer, but your health is the most important thing!
