Should you be eating less in the evenings or skip your dinner
entirely? Should you be eating in the morning, or just having a coffee?
With so much information out there about how and when to eat, to suggest sometimes we are left confused on what we should do would be an understatement. Especially when the conversation applies to breakfast. The theme of our discussion here revolves around whether or not you should be eating breakfast. The alleged "most important meal of the day".
How important is it?
Well, it depends on several factors. More importantly, the question to be answered is one that will determine whether or not eating breakfast is going to benefit or harm you in the first place. The all-important question, you ask?
"How much should you typically eat daily before lunch time?" And more specifically... "can you afford to eat breakfast as well as lunch and dinner?"
Most people can be divided up into two groups based on their eating tendencies...
If you are someone who eats the majority of your daily intake during your mornings and afternoons, it makes sense to eat breakfast. You're probably used to it already. What would be counterproductive in this case would be if you were frequently having large dinners as well. Eating a large breakfast and dinner will facilitate weight gain, as you would be likely to consume more calories than you need.
Moreover, if you're someone who eats a light lunch, and your main daily meal is dinner, it would be prudent to have a light breakfast. Perhaps you should eat nothing prior to your light mid-day meal. A morning coffee or tea is okay. Furthermore, take note problems arise when you have a large breakfast unnecessarily. As previously mentioned, you would likely run into a situation where you have a surplus of calories that won't be used up anytime soon.
Why make it harder for yourself? If you're trying to lose weight and improve your health, you can use all the help you can get.
It's up to you to determine if eating breakfast is right for you. If you're trying to lose weight, it will benefit you to experiment with skipping breakfast daily for at least a week or two. It's an area you could trial. As long as you're physically active, and you don't over compensate with your other meals, you're guaranteed to make progress with your lower blood sugar and weight loss plans.

Most people can be divided up into two groups based on their eating tendencies...
- first there are those who eat most if not all of their daily calories during the first half of their day.
- secondly, there are those who eat mostly during the latter part of their day, typically during the evening.

Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2
diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple
changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood
sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
