The Verdict on the Best Weight Loss Drinks for Breakfast
Collapse

I skip breakfast. I don’t like traditional breakfast foods. Though I make a mean Dutch style pancake, but it’s so good it’s brunch at least. I like to fast until lunch. Sometimes if I workout then lunch is just a protein shake. Sometimes with a bit of simple carbs to replenish glycogen. I don’t like caffeine. Eating right after I wake up makes my stomach unsettle but that’s just me, and I’m sensitive. The one thing a protein shake does for me is curb my appetite for a while. I’m sure that’s not the same for everyone. I don’t think there’s any calories you can ingest that will lead to weight loss unless they have some sort of appetite suppressing factor.

Every time I skip breakfast I end up being A LOT hungrier late at night and I hate to eat anything late at night. That's when I usually fast until morning.

I understand why a lumberjack would want to eat a “lumberjacks breakfast. Eggs. Buttered Toast. Hash. Bacon. Sausage.” Part of it is that it makes you happy, and then you gotta go do a tough dangerous physical job. It’s something to look forward to. But the average person who is not in any high calorie depleting work a meal like that is packing on the weight. Of course some people ( lots of bodybuilders too) enjoy a bowl of oatmeal. Some people need coffee, but cream and sugar ad up. I don’t think I will ever believe that eating anything in the morning will jumpstart your metabolism to the point that it overrides the calories you just ate. Some people need breakfast and I get that. It a sensible breakfast gets you motivated and the energy you need and keeps you from snacking on wired foods then for sure. Some people get low blood sugar too. I’m lucky that I can go a long time without eating and not feel I’ll effects. I have sensitive stomach and digestion. I love food but Zits a fine line for me. I bloat easily too. So maybe not recommended but I actually feel my best on an empty stomach. Nothing to hamper me. I get in my best shape with two protein shakes and one quality meal. There’s usually some milk and hopefully not too many bad snacks in between. If I want to lose weight I have to remove the milk. It’s easy to drink calories, and I’ll drink 2-3L of skim if it’s on hand. Plus where there’s milk there’s cookies.
