We’ve all heard the advice being passed round and round for decades, if you want to lose weight you must start your day with breakfast.
Now, this logic does make sense.
If you don’t eat a sensible breakfast before leaving the house you will be tempted by all kinds of junk food and binge mid-morning on something unhealthy.
I think this rumour was started by the cereal industry.
It turns out that cereal is actually one of the most unhealthy things that we could be putting in our mouth first thing in the morning, or anytime of day due to the amount of sugar.
Refined sugar that is.
I know that if I had the choice of having nothing for breakfast, or having sugary cereals, I’d choose nothing and I would actually feel less hungry because all of that refined sugar in the cereal only spikes your blood sugar levels and leaves you craving more refined sugar, so you’ll actually end up eating more food by starting your day with the sugary cereal.
Back to the original question.
Do we actually need to eat breakfast to lose weight?
A very recent study that was actually performed on real people, actually showed that no, we don’t actually need to eat breakfast to lose weight.
They tested different types of people and what they found was that the people who were used to eating breakfast should carry on eating breakfast, and those people who never felt like eating breakfast shouldn’t eat breakfast, because if you try and force people to eat when they’re not hungry, it will almost certainly lead to weight gain.
That’s what happened when they switched them around.
They forced them to do the opposite of what they were actually used to.
We don’t need to eat by the clock.
I used to start my day with a sugary cereal just like everybody else, especially in this country and I would also end my day with a bowl of sugary cereal, and they’re all marketed for weight loss.
They’re all healthy wholesome grains and all that kind of stuff, but actually they’re just full of junk in my opinion.
My blood sugar levels were completely out of control.
I used to wake up in the morning absolutely shaking, starving, feeling sick with hunger, stomach ache if I didn’t eat immediately, and I would have to eat something like my cereal.
I would have to go downstairs, quickly eat my cereal before I did anything else whatsoever.
I couldn’t even get dressed before I had my cereal.
That’s how bad my blood sugar levels were and I had to carry around food on me all the time in case I had a blood sugar level crash because I would end up on the floor in a shaking mess, completely no energy left.
Then, when I started to eat real food I noticed that my blood sugar levels, I did see an immediate improvement, but it wasn’t for quite a long time after eating real food that I realised that my blood sugar levels had made a permanent shift.
Even after the occasional sugar binge, my blood sugar levels would never return to the state that they were previously just after eating this kind of sugary cereals all the time.
My blood sugar levels now are so stable that I wake up in the morning and I am actually not hungry at all.
Food is the last thing that is on my mind when I first wake up and I can actually go almost all morning, sometimes I can go until lunchtime, without even feeling hungry.
This is absolutely life-changing for me.
I just couldn’t ever imagine that this would happen to me.
I just now eat when I’m hungry and that works perfectly for me because if you try and force yourself to eat when you’re not hungry then how will your body ever regulate itself and how will your body ever tell you and give you signals of when you are and are not hungry.
My tip for you is just to eat when you’re hungry and that might mean that you need a portable breakfast so you can take it to work with you.
It might mean that you just eat at ten o’clock in the morning, or eleven, or even lunchtime when you’re actually hungry.
When you need it.
I recommend you take one of my Green Thickies which are my complete meal smoothies with you which you can make at home in your own blender in just two minutes.
Take one of these in a smoothie bottle to work with you and just drink it as soon as you get hungry and then you’ve got no option but to have your healthy breakfast whenever you are actually hungry.
Right now we are currently in the middle of a brand new seven-day challenge called Clean Eating in a Hurry, and I am sharing one new video every single day as part of that challenge.
In today’s challenge video which I’ve called Breathtaking Breakfasts, I’ve made all of these tongue-twisters, I share exactly how to prepare a Green Thickie in just two minutes and easily pack it with you to take it out of the house.
I would like to encourage you to come and join us in that challenge and find out more about how you can make your own possible healthy breakfast to eat when you are actually hungry.

Hi Katherine,I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.
I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!
I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!
I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.
I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.
I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.
I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!
What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.
I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
