This is part of why I like Soylent for breakfast. The stuff doesnāt instant-metabolize, since the only sugars it uses are complex ones. I donāt get hungry, and I donāt get the sugar rush and crash effect. And itās no effort at all to prepare. Really, I wonder how I ever got along without the stuff.
No downsides!
Wait, youāre serious? Not a Soylent Green joke? The original is fairly nutritious, like it or not.
Well thatās a pretty poor collection of ānutrition factsā, and not what Iām used to seeing on a nutrition label. When did you last see a label that just listed the chemical elements?
How many calories in an average human? How much salt? Sugar? Fat? Artificial preservatives? Was it raised organically? Whatās the āBest Beforeā date? And how long can I store one in a freezer?
Not to mention artificial colouring; I hear some get stained orange to make them look (supposedly) more appetizing.
Iāma have bacon and eggs. And fried bread.
Easy there, Hannibal. Your passionate interest inspired me into replacing the ten-second image search joke image with a much better researched thirty-second image search joke image. Progress!
Bon appƩtit! Do mind the prions though.
Fuck cereal. Who can take a meal seriously if thereās no suitable wine?
A somewhat difficult proposal. The holes in the rings are too small.
Thanks, now my Cheeriosā¢ make me feel inadequate
HERETICS!
I only consume cosmonaut breakfast tubes. (And Tang)
Breakfast is either too boring or too unhealthy to eat.
Fuck breakfast. And lunch sucks too.
And wait until 9:30 for coffee? Yah, right.
Intermittent Fasting (wikipedia), or IF, also known as āskipping breakfast,ā is now pretty faddy as a possibly-backed-by-some-science simple weight-loss plan. Almost anywhere on the web you look up diet in reference to exercise, nowadays, youāll see references to IF.
(NB: There are a lot of words written on the web about it, it can take a while to realize that it all just boils down to skipping breakfast.)
I donāt know much about whether it really leads to weight loss, though the proponents cite those studies showing fewer overall calories eaten, as well as supposed metabolic effects of short fasts. However, I do know that reading about IF made more more relaxed about my natural disinclination to eat breakfast. I no longer worry that itās bad for me in some way.
Well anecdote wise, sample size of me, so not reliable at all, but if I donāt have something in the morning I am usually way way way hungry come lunch time and tend to have too big a lunch.
I donāt have my breakfast (cheerios and skim milk) till like 830 or 9 at my desk, but Iām at my desk a couple hours before that sometimesā¦
Coffee in the car on the way to work.
Growing boys need Tang!
I donāt have breakfast til about midday usually, but then, I donāt get up before 10:30 if I can possibly help it.
Yes, Iām serious. Itās great stuff. Reasonably cheap, not terrible in taste, quick to prepare, quick to drink, considerably more nutritious than a donut or muffin, and convenient all around. The brand name is a bit silly, but OTOH it never fails to prompt some kind of discussion every time it comes up, so you canāt say it doesnāt stick in your mind.
