Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi , welcome to group. For breakfast: deviled eggs, blue berries, sliced apple and maybe a muffin using Spelt flour. Leftover cold steak or chicken from dinner, cherry or pineapple juice. Almonds or walnuts with apple. Hope this helps some. --- Lorrie O sec TwyliteFlyer <twyliteflyer@...> wrote: Hello all, New to the group, but I've been familiar with ER4YT for several years. I haven't had a lot of experience in following it, however in the short time that I did, I lost about 10 lbs in a month without even thinking about it. (that is beyond impressive for me) Now, I hate just jumping in with a question, but isn't that really why we all join these groups? My main weakness with this whole system, is Breakfast. I'm not a morning person, so I tend to sleep till the last possible minute, and now that I'm a single mother, I have even less time in the morning. On top of it, I tend to avoid the kitchen just on general principal. I actually tried to blow up the microwave a couple of weeks ago. And to make matters even worse, I'm kinda on the broke side of finances, so buying expensive breads etc is pretty much out for the forseeable future. Now, being that wheat, potatos, corn, and pork-products are out, I can only tolerate small amounts of eggs, and cereals don't fulfill me, what on earth am I supposed to eat for breakfast? I'm the type of person who needs variety in my life, so even if I were to come up with one or two things, I would only stick to it for a few weeks, then I would be back to old habits. So, any ideas? The more the merrier. I will be forever grateful for any thoughts. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi Leah... I have a theory on the rules... there are no hard fast and set rules. I would eat only what you feel like eating. Don't over do it or you could cause problems. If a peice of toast is enough, then stick to that and have some fruit mid morning if you feel like it.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I can't remember exactly, but probably whenever they showed an interest - simple breakfast of course like cereal or toast - though still can't get Trent to do his own - he likes waiter service! Then again, he often won't eat it anyway - really hate him heading off of a morning without eating but he refuses. Guessing it is a legacy of the years he was up dressed and on a bus within about 15 minutes and given toast to eat on the way - which he may or may not have eaten. If your kids are showing the independence to want to get their own I would let them - if only of a weekend when you have a bit more time (not rushing to get to school on time etc.). Though with jellybean's arrival soon I don't think I would be pushing for it at the moment - you could end up with more independence and mess at a time you don't really need it.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Mine all do their own breakfasts. They can choose cereal, bagels and cream cheese, frozen waffles (cooked in the toaster), toast, and instant oatmeal (heat the water in the microwave). There are rules for " cooking " .... toaster must be on this certain setting, don't put the butter on first... for oatmeal, we have a small ceramic pitcher (maybe for cream?) that they fill halfway with water and cook in the microwave 1 minute.... not too hot, but hot enough for the oatmeal. There is always yogurt and fruit too, which they can get at any time. Occasionally we have some sort of frozen breakfast sandwich of something, and they can follow the microwave rules for them. If real cooking is involved (say eggs), then they must be supervised by an adult since we have a gas stove and I worry about that. Sammy's 8 and I'm thinking she's been doing this for at least a couple years now. is good with rules, so she has no problem sticking to the " serve yourself " breakfast plan. If she wants eggs, she comes and asks me to cook them with her. One warning... make sure they know that they are to only fix their own breakfasts.... is soooo sweet, for awhile she'd make cereal for everyone, and we'd wake up to one empty bowl and 4 soggy bowls of cereal, milk poured (and warm!), with beaming at us and saying " I made breakfast for you..... you can eat now! " YUK!!!! Its a process.... decide what a few choices are, show them how, then watch them do it themselves for a few times and figure out where the problem areas might be... for example, we buy milk by the gallon, which was too heavy for them with they were younger so I have a small container that I'd keep in the door, and that was their milk to pour from. I have said a million times... " no metal in the microwave! " , and will probably say it a million more times, LOL. But, they know it. It would be great for you to do this before the baby comes! Good luck. , mom to (12), (10 DS), and Sammy (8) Leis wrote: > How old were your kids when you let them prepare their own breaky?? > > Trent says our kids are old enough to now prepare their own breaky-but I > Have reservations. > > is 10, about to head to his first camp tomorrow > > Natasha is 6 > > is 4 1/2 > > Feedback welcome > -- > > Aussie Leis- mum to (DS), Natasha, and Jellybean > > When faced with 2 evils; Take the one you have never tried before!! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I don't know how much of the beach I will get to see, my daughter is due to deliver in the next 10 days or so. I am here to help her and be with the grandchildren. We are on Schofield Army base so I can't come and go as I please. Hopefully tomorrow we can go, I haven't touched the sea since I was home in 1990.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hi . I find now that I don't get that way as much even with the cereal or the bars since my body has gotten used to it. I mean I still get a little bit of gas but it's not as bad as it was. Ilniski and Nunciotwitter: www.twitter.com/clady2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I had a cut up banana with some cut up peach and a handful of walnuts for breakfast with 4 ounces of cranberry juice. I was amazed at how satisfied I felt. I always drink 2 glasses of water before breakfast as well. -- www.bigpondaussies.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
