Litterbugs war mongers hate mongers propagandists.
I'm sure there's more.
If I start my day with two Weetabix or any other breakfast cereal I'm hungry two hours later.
Nope never a sugar junkie but I've come to believe we're as good as all carb junkies .... that becomes sugar inside us.
If I have toast I'm the same.
So starting the day on carbs sets me up for being hungry most of the day and having to nibble or eat something.
If I have a fry up I can go most of the day without hunger or nibble mania.
A fry up every day or even boiled eggs is to much like hard work so I've discovered other ways.
I first started with the bullet proof coffee ... still with two sweeteners as I find coffee to bitter without.
No milk but a table spoon of butter in it and a little coconut oil too if there's any in.
That's it for breakfast nothing else.
The butter tends to take the heat out of the coffee so I bung it in the micro to heat it back up.
It gives me an almost illegal must do buzz of energy!
Fills me up with fat and I can go seven or eight hours before wanting anything else.
A bit more normal now and have discovered I can eat porridge so long as it has a big spoonful of coconut oil in it .... butter would probably do the job too but I can't have porridge without fat or I'm spiked.
Eating carbs will keep your cravings for more carbs on the go all day.
Try and start the day with fats/oils and see what happens.
