i would ask you to never skip breakfast due to many important reasons. First, it is normal to not feel hungry when you wake up, however you should eat withing 30-45min after waking up. the reason for this is that your body is in muscle wasting state when you wake up. it has not had proper nutrition while you were sleeping, and your insulin levels are probably quite low. Once you wake up, your metabolism kicks into high gear and if your body does not have food readily available, it will go and canibalise your muscles and break them down for energy. You definatly do not want that, especialy if you are an active person. You should eat every 3 hours during the day, to keep your body fueled for maximum energy and strengh.

if you hardly eat that is the problem, Your body stores fat and when you don't eat like 6 to 8 small meals a day your body thinks its starving itself and will keep storing more fat. now say you eat a banana at 8 in the morning then at 1030-11 you eat a bagel then at 200 you eat an apple at 5 you eat a cup of spaghetti at 8 you eat some cake and walk it off or even sit there watching TV move you legs, they say fidgeting is good for you.

Start your day with a breakfast that is high in carbohydrates. A good example is peanut butter and toast and bananas. Keep it from 100-200 calories. The less sugar the better. Also, try to make sure you are getting at least 7hrs of sleep (I know that seems impossible).

Breakfast "kick-starts" your metabolism. If you don't eat breakfast, your metabolism slows down, and you don't burn as many calories. Eating breakfast speeds it up, and you burn more.

many nutritionists consider breakfast a very important meal, since it provides vital nourishment and energy for starting that day. Studies have indicated that children and adolescents who usually have breakfasts generally consumed more daily calories than those who skip this meal and, yet, are less likely to be overweight.

As a health and phys ed teacher and nutrition nut - I would answer yes. The only thing I would really say is that it shouldn't be the whole day. Try to make it one a meal. You don't want to sabotage a whole weeks worth of great progress. One meal is totally except able. Its even mentioned in a very good book called the ABS Diet. Not eating these foods is to deny yourself. If u have nothing to look forward to in your diet than your setting yourself up for failure.\nModeration is ok - Remember 1 MEAL and that's it.

Diets don't work so don't look for one.  Exercise helps so at least walk briskly for 30 minutes or so at least four times a week.  Most important is to re train your body's habits.  When you feel hungry don't eat right away.  Wait until you are really hungry and then eat what you like but not as much as you think you want.  This takes practice and in not too long a time your body will change the habit of saying it is hungry so often.  Only eat when hungry and not because you think you are hungry.  Do eat the foods you like because if you don't then you will soon go back to eating too often and too much.  I do wish the best for you.

Um, just to let you know, if you are skipping meals, you are slowing your metabolism. And, if you don't consume food for 30 days, you will die. And, meanwhile, your body will do strange things by natural instinct to protect you because it senses you are starving. For instance, you could grow a dark layer of hair all over your body. Basically you will get some of the same symptoms of severe anorexia. So, don't starve yourself. If you're really concerned with your weight, see a doctor or a nutritionist.

Hello, you are most probably overloading yourself during your meal. you should eat slowly; it takes approximately 10 minutes for your brain to register the amount of food that you have eaten and feel satiety; this feeling of heaviness that you are describing is called heartburn and it's because your stomach is full very quickly and there is not much time for it to ''stretch'' enough and start the digestion process. the other thing that i am thinking is that you probably do not eat at regular times and you eat once a day while the rest of the day you don't eat anything. if you do that, it's very bad for your digestive system and you need to have snacks in between meals. it's not because of the carbs though. (you said it already for yourself...'a lot of pasta'...it's not the type, it's the quantity).Best of luck.

For me sometimes I just eat if I am bored even though I know I'm NOT hungry. You can't exactly get rid of them but try doing other things to keep your mind off of food!

Have something light, that won't make you feel heavy or bloated, such as fruit. It's probably better, though, not to eat inmediately before excercise.

First off make sure you do not skip a meal.  Skipping meals lowers your metabolism.  What is your height and are you muscular?  Remember that muscle weighs more than fat.  If you are not muscular and are pudgy then you need to challenge your body a bit more.  Since you already are active with sports and you can walk 10 miles, you'll need to increase either the miles you walk or the incline in which you walk.

You should always have your core meals, especially breakfast. That's what gets you going in the morning and keeps you from craving a hugemongo lunch. But, your meals should get smaller as the day goes on. You can have a big breakfast, a medium lunch, and a smaller dinner. ALSO, in-between meals it's good ot have little snacks. Healthier and smaller AMOUNTS (portions) of the food. This keeps your metabolism working all throughout the day (even if you're not eating a meal) and will keep you from getting so hungry you want to just gorge yourself on a whole cow at the end of the day.

Ok, just because everyone else eats at noonish and 6ish does not mean you have to.  Since your schedule is different from others why not eat breakfast at 10 ish, lunch at 2 ish, and dinner around 8-9ish? That way you won't be so hungry late at night.  (And you should eat breakfast anyway).\n\nI've also cut calories in the past and I've found that as time goes on your stomach shrinks so your not as hungry--you just have to push through the first week of so.\n\nIf your feeling hungry-do something!  Take a shower, walk the dog, do the dishes, anything to take your mind off food.  If you feel you have to eat chew on an ice cube or some gum.  Also, I've found that hot beverages help---drink some hot tea, coffee, or other beverage with minimal calories.  Hope this helps!

It is very important to eat breakfast, especially if you are trying to loose weight. Eating breakfast speeds up you metabolism for the day, and if consumed regularly can speed up your metabolism all together.\n\nEven though you may not feel hungry in the morning it is important to "break the fast" that you have just gone through due to sleep.\n\nIf you eat a good healthy breakfast you will find yourself having more energy, and therefore burning off more kilojoules. You will also find that you will need less to eat at lunch and dinner because you started the day with a proper meal.\n\nThis is very important as much of the energy we receive from lunch and dinner can not be burnt off as quickly as breakfast. It sounds silly but the earlier you eat your food for the day the better. This increases the amount of time your body has to burn off the excess energy. \n\nI suggest yogurts with no added sugar, and with less fat helps. Another often is muesli - not cereal. Many of these are full of sugar. Also be careful to make sure the muesli or bran you have is not toasted and does not have added sugar or honey. But as I said, yogurt and fruit is the best option.\n\nStay away from juices also, try to stick to water. Hope this helps!\n\nAnother tip which you may find helpful - smaller serving sizes will help you eat less. As does eating slowly. Your brain can take up to 20 minutes to register that you are full and have had enough. American serves of food are usually around 3 times what is needed for a healthy meal.\n\nEat smaller, eat slower and you will eat less.  Good luck :)

Whenever I was dieting I ate a carb friendly yogurt for breakfast and that was all.  IT had like 80 calories and if you eat sllowly and drink a big glass of water you will be full.  Remember that it takes your brain 20 minutes to get the signal that you have eaten, so if you eat and still feel hungry wait at least 20 minutes.  Most of the time you don't feel hungry by then.  Best wishes
