    If I eat breakfast in any shape or form, I'm a gonner for the day.
    If I eat at 8am, it could be a steak, a 1000 calorie 'dinner', a five egg omelette or a piece of fruit, I am ravenous by 10am and will subsequently stuff myself all day. And usually crave shi**y food. My concentration is very poor and I feel so sluggish.

    However how I live mostly and how I like to be is.

    Get up, usually 7am. Have hot water, ACV, either lemon or lime and then depending on my mood - a little raw honey, stevia, cinnamon or whatever.

    I go to work, have some green/herbal tea mid morn and I then have my lunch at about 1ish where I usually have a healthy salad/soup/meat & veg.

    Sometimes if I do feel peckish, I'll have some nuts/seeds mid morn.
    I have my dinner at around 6/7 and I feel great.

    However, my brother and his fiancé had a go at me when I stayed in there house for a couple of weeks.
    How I am so unhealthy. It's not right. Blah blah blah.

    Just wondering how many of you don't eat breakfast?!
    And are you all the better for it?

    I'm relatively healthy and not overweight. I'm always being complimented on my skin by the way.

    You are not unhealthy.

    Sometimes I eat it, sometimes I don't.

    Had breakfast today for the first time in ages,
    Most of the time it's because I'm not up til later in the day,
    Other times I just don't think about it...

    Looking at your regular diet, unhealthy is the last thing I'd call you!
    Breakfast works for some people, it doesn't for others...
    Supposed to give you the slow releasing energy boost to get you through to lunch. If you can do that without it, by all means work away I say!

    I very rarely eat breakfast too. Tried all kinds of different breakfasts but I would always feel better and have sharper concentration with nothing.

    Like you I had a few people give out to me about how unhealthy it was...usually people with awful diets eating a bowl of coco pops every day, or similar!

    Occasionally now I wake up craving something and will have a very enjoyable breakfast :-)

    The first time I eat in the day is the first time I'm hungry. Some days that's at 7, sometimes 11 etc. etc. etc.

    Don't eat breakfast if you don't feel hungry.

    Never eat breakfast, except maybe the odd fry at the weekend when I'm not under time pressure. I'd much rather have the time in bed than a bowl of cereal in my stomach!

    rarely if ever eat breakfast.
    makes me feel queasy if I eat too early most days, recently Ive been eating at between 1-3 pm maybe 2 times week (get up at 8), but mostly i eat at around 6-8pm maybe get a snack around 10pm when my OH finishes work.

    No breakfast Monday to Friday, i eat at 12. At the weekend i would eat at 11. I went though a period of eating breakfast, it made no difference to me.

    Your brother and his fiancé are misinformed.

    I know people like that who would be fine without breakfast but I'm the complete opposite, need breakfast in the morning and if I don't, I end up having dinner but then eating rubbish for the rest of the day!!

    Never eat it.

    First meal at 1.

    Unless of course there's free food at work.

    Free food has no calories or issues. Fact.

    Stolen pick n mix has no calories either. Fact.
