After 50 years of never missing breakfast and believing that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it's come as a huge revelation to me over this past week to realise that I'm not really hungry when I first wake up and I'm finding it very easy to work for three or four hours before I need to eat.
I do still have my morning coffee but I'm trying to figure out a way to have that later, too. Short of taking a french press to work with me I can't see it. It certainly doesn't taste as good if I mske it early and have it from a flask later.
So in this past week I've been fitting my usual 3 meals into the 8-hour window and staying within RDI. However, I'm realising that I don't actually feel like I need that much food and it's just habit. I think the lunchtime sandwich will be the next to go - I'll be more than OK with some fruit and maybe a few walnuts or almonds. That will be the goal for the next week and it will be interesting to see if my energy levels change when I cut out bread. I'm a bread fiend but I've long thought that it weighs me down and makes me sluggish, just couldn't find a way to give it up and not feel deprived.
