I always used to have cereal with milk and juice for breakfast and would be STARVING by mid-morning. A couple of years ago a friend suggested protein. I still had cereal with milk and juice, but added a hard boiled egg (70 calories). Since then, I can make it to lunch without even a morning snack most days...it helped that much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-48664710122205858832014-09-04T08:17:41.544-05:002014-09-04T08:17:41.544-05:00Cereal is so high carb that it totally throws me o...Cereal is so high carb that it totally throws me off for the rest of the day and makes me hungry. I HAVE to pair any carb in the morning with protein (i.e. an egg white omelet with oatmeal or toast, etc. If I only have the toast or oatmeal, I'll eat my car.) Even though my breakfast averages 150-250 calories, it DOES keep me full and even kiltered until lunch/snack.<br /><br />Some people run better with protein than others, and it turns out I'm one of them.

For me protein/fat-based breakfasts work best so I often have eggs with avocado or sautéed mushrooms, or an apple with almond butter and some nuts. One of the most satisfying and long-lasting breakfasts though is still my very odd one of steamed sweet potato with coconut oil and blueberries. Any of these tie me over nicely until lunch. <br /><br />Calorie counting and tracking works for many people. I am not one of them, I always get to a point where I strongly resent it. I find some loose rules and mindfulness work a lot better this time round. Mind you, not right now as I am still in my funky resistance phase! Hoping to get back into the swing of things once I have started my new job and established my new routine.

It doesn't work for me. Now that I decided to lose weight but still can have everything I want, I find I make choices in what I eat.
