Why do I feel more hungry if I eat breakfast!

[V00DOO]

Normally I don't have time for breakfast therefore I'll grab a large cup of coffee have lunch around 1 PM or 2 PM. Now I started eating oakmeal cereal for breakfast and now I starving before 12 PM. My body starts shaking and my stomach starts growling. I was less hungry not eating breakfast. Probably has something to do with my body metabolism. Can any break it down as why this happens?

It jump starts your metabloism, which is why its important

 

[GoingUp]

I dont know either... I was wonderin that earlier today

Insulin spikes and your blood sugar drops, so you get hungry.

Dr. Atkins explains it nicely. It's about the glucose cycle.

Short version is your body's metabolism gets a jump start via eating breakfast.

Yep, also as moralpanic said if it's a high sugar sh*t breakfast like pop-farts or something equally useless for your body it will spike your insulin and then your blood sugar will go plummet.

I don't think metabolism has anything to do with it... you can jump start your metabolism other ways, such as taking ephedrine and running, but you won't necessarily be hungry.

I usually skip the meta and just got for the bloism.

If you have ephedra or excercise in the morning with or without eating first I sincerely doubt you wouldn't be hungry. If you're not hungry after excercising in the morning without eating (or even with eating 2-3 hours later) then you're not excercising enough.

Whoops, I forgot that when you first start taking ephedra it can act as an appetite suppresant. So it might jump-start your metabolism without making you hungry, but you'd probably still get hungry faster than with no breakfast.

I had a discussion with a friend on this. I say it is healthier to eat a small breakfast and get your body going b/c as you come out of sleep mode your body is in starvation mode. I also said you will lose weight better and faster by eating a small breakfast than by skipping it b/c when you eat it your metabolism picks up for the rest of the day but if you skip your body thinks it is being starved and will conserve all of it's resources to try and protect itself thereby slowing your metabolism and burning less fat/calories. My friend says its all about the calories and that skipping breakfast burns off fat b/c your body has to burn something for energy throughout the morning. I'm not sure which is true.

If it ONLY burned fat then that would be one thing. What really happens is it burns both fat and muscle while lowering your metabolism to lower your total caloric output. Loosing muscle is bad, it'll lower your base metabolic rate (how many calories you burn per day just to survive) and cuase you to gain weight faster in the future. You'll also be more tired all frigging day, which sucks.

That's what I thought too. That's why I told her to eat breakfast and she could actually lose weight/fat as opposed to skipping it not that she needs to lose fat but that was the basis of the discussion. Plus like you said you fee like you have more energy.

Becase you have a naturally fast metabolism. Some people are like that. It'll probably slow down in your late 20's or early 30's.

god i hope so. food is so frickin expensive right now.

 

[aircooled]

cause it's carbs. eat protein for breakfast and you will have a different result.
