[QUOTE="Z_e_u_s, post: 2395381, member: 539495"] Up until a month ago I would have 3 meals x day, not big ones ..but still. Breakfast would be yogurt with a (reduced) amount of cereal + berries , for lunch some lentils with veggies and the usual fish and salad for dinner. After watching a video about microbiomes and the correlation between a healthy gut and diabetes I decided to give my gut a booster and looked for a way to introduce more fiber to my meals ...but there’s so many veggies you can eat with your meal and even the largest portion wouldn’t contain the amount of fiber recommended to feed the healthy bacteria in the gut. I decided to get some inulin fiber and started to add it to my yougurty breakfast + I replaced the no added sugar Alpro with Kefir bio (apparently the gut loves it!) and added a tiny amount of vegan proteins (powder) to the mix (this is now my favorite meal of the day!) I never even thought about it but reading your post made me realize that coincidentally since I added the extra ingredients to my breakfast I started to skip the second meal of the day and go straight to dinner as I stopped being hungry until the evening. I sometime drink a few proteins mixed with water as a second meal purely for calories but I could easily go without. For reference: Breakfast is usually around 11am/12pm (depending on what time I have dinner the night before as I leave at least 12 hours in between) – Lunch used to be around 5pm (I don’t have it anymore) – Dinner around 9/10pm. I don’t drink water as I am never thirsty (I do have a few coffees throughout the day though). I thought I’d share what works for me in case it may help. [/QUOTE]
