Re:Breakfast and honoring my hunger

[Guest guest]

L,

I recently read an article on MSN.com about eating at night and here's a quote I found on the internet:

Does eating at night pack on extra pounds?Scientific research has not confirmed this. In fact, a study of 1,802 women found that when they ate made no appreciable difference in body weight -- even among women who consumed most of their calories after 5 p.m. The big problem: For many people, evening eating starts at dinner and continues -- often in front of the television -- until bedtime. Such mindless munching quickly leads to overeating. Ultimately, how much you eat is more important than when you eat it.

As Katcha mentioned this topic has come up previously and a search on the past group messages will provide you with additional insight about how different people have addressed the questions of breakfast and night eating. Many of us have agreed that an important part of this process is figuring out what works for each of us. Like you, I didn't use to get hungry until about 11:00 a.m. and now that I walk/move every morning...I get hungry around 8. So many factors contribute to our hunger times and levels.
