Can I just ask, without anyone trying to sell me a whole programme, what do you actually eat for breakfast that keeps you going past 10am? Because I am 46 and something has shifted in the last year or so and I genuinely cannot work out what changed first, the weight or the tiredness or the not being able to face food before 8 and then being ravenous by half nine. I keep reading about protein at breakfast and I do believe it, I just cannot face eggs every single morning and I am also not spending a fiver a day on fancy yoghurts. We are a family of four and the food budget is what it is. What I have managed: Greek yoghurt with a spoonful of peanut butter stirred in if I buy the big cheap tub. Sometimes I hard boil a batch of eggs on a Sunday and eat one cold with some crackers which sounds grim but honestly it works. Cottage cheese on toast has grown on me and I never thought I would say that. The thing is none of this is a diet. I am not doing a diet. I have done enough diets. I just want things that are filling and not expensive and do not require me to think very hard at seven in the morning. Also, slight side note, I want to write down what my weight has been doing over the last year before my next GP appointment because I feel like I have put on about a stone without really changing anything and I want to be able to say that clearly rather than just shrugging when she asks. Has anyone done that, just kept a rough note for doctor prep? Did it actually help the conversation? x
