Worse yet, there are people who don't eat breakfast. Do they photosynthesize their food instead?

[-] erytau@programming.dev 74 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I don't. I feel it takes a few hours (4-5) for my body to wake up enough to feel hunger, and if I force myself to eat breakfast I feel queasy. So I just eat black coffee and move on.

Great, now I have this mental image of you waking up late, going "NO TIME TO WAIT FOR THE KETTLE!" and just eating spoonfuls of instant coffee straight from the jar before running out of the house.

It's a very handy routine when you're a bit short on time in the morning

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Have tried it, wouldn't recommend it.

[-] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 week ago

Same, a large breakfast makes me feel queasy too. I never met another person like this. I usually don't eat until noon.

But, 10AM and later, I'm not queasy.

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 week ago

This. I really only eat a small breakfast because I have to for meds, but if it weren't for that I'd totally be fine with one big meal a day (turns out to be dinner most of the time) and perhaps one apple or sth. late at night.

This forced 3-meal system is so weird and inconvenient.

I literally feel sick if I eat breakfast. Only after a couple hours do I get hungry. I only really eat breakfast if I know I am going to be physically active and will need the energy like if I went cycling or hiking.

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 17 points 1 week ago

Most of the days I just have one meal, at like 4 or 5 pm. While being up since like 3-5am cause of work.

And I still maintain 80-82kg weight.

Used to abstain from eating breakfast sometimes when I was younger. Now I'll likely feel nauseous if I do.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

There's no rhyme or reason to it, but some mornings a black coffee is all I seem to want/need which is kinda negative calories

Other mornings I'll polish the plate of a large full English and will perish if I don't

[-] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

What's even worse is people who don't understand that we are a hunter-gatherers. Our ancestor's first meal came much later in the day and we have evolved as such. Not eating a lot for breakfast is extremely comon and burned in our DNA. Don't know where you are going with this.

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago

I don't get hungry often, at least not the way I think normal people do. I usually go from 'fine' to 'more than mildly queasy' in a couple minutes, then I have to rush to find something to throw in my stomach. It's like flipping a light switch. This usually only happens when I have some project I'm focusing on.

[-] Binette@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

don't want to armchair diagnose, but i had the exact same thing and prozac gave me the ability to feel hungry again. I used to feel exactly how you would.

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I’m actually on an SNRI (like SSRI but also inhibits dopamine reuptake) as part of my adhd treatment so sadly that won’t do it for me. I think my brain just ignores hunger when I’m too busy to think about food, then eventually it just yells YO FEED ME.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

Yeah it felt like reading ADHD symptoms. I get it completely.

[-] underline960@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 week ago

Ate without table -3

Those aren't mutually exclusive (send help)

If this resonates with you, please check for sugar related health issues. (I am not saying you have them, but it is time to check.)

I work from home, IT, 8-10 hours sitting, programming. If I ate five meals a day I'd weight a ton in few months.

Fasting helps me keeping the callory intake down. First meal at 3-6pm then some snack in the evening, keeping sugar intake low. If I eat in the morning I feel bloated and sluggish + at around 2pm I feel tired.

Not eating keeps me fresh.

[-] gerryflap@feddit.nl 10 points 1 week ago

5 meals is also excessive. I have the same schedule and I eat the normal 3 meals a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner. I can't really miss any because then my tummy becomes very distracting. I really don't understand how you can go till 3pm without feeling any adverse effects. If I skip breakfast I'll be useless and dizzy till lunch.

I just don't eat more than I need each meal.

Depends on what is meant by a meal. You could simply eat smaller meals to get less calory intake.

Not everybody is blessed with a super metabolism CATE. Check your privilege.

[-] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 13 points 1 week ago

For real.

I did try not to eat for a week and nothing happened, yes I lost a bit weight but minimal.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

You actually have to expend calories, too

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 week ago

Why, does the calorie economy depend in it? Who are you working for, Big Food?

The trick is to have an undiagnosed illness that constantly upsets your stomach and threatens to regurgitate any food you eat. Once I realized it hurts less to not eat at all, I started regularly skipping on meals. What's really annoying is that I still have a pudgy tummy, even though I'm stuck on a diet some people would dream of being able to commit to.

The secret is to be incredibly neurodivergent and unlock the secrets to extreme hyperfixation. The more you lose track of time, the better, as this is also the threshold where hunger ceases to exist.

Im just extremely depressed :3

Yeah, and then I remember to eat something when the shaking starts

It's usually the lightheadedness for me

[-] 17jGuFCOn89iY@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I used to think I was the same way but started omad to lose weight and you do get used to it. As long as there’s enough protein and fiber and the meal is big enough then I’m completely fine for 24 hours at a time.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 9 points 1 week ago

Most of us are fuel by hatred towards something/someone.

You'd be amazed at how filling spite can be.

fwiw that's actually why I think I'm healthier when I have those meal replacement shakes in the house somewhere. People always are like "ew why would you replace meals with that?". But they actually don't. They replace NOT having meals. Because when I have that "one more thing to do", if don't eat something super low effort right when I think about it, I'm just gonna power through and forget again.

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

I'm really fat, so as long as I have water, electrolytes, and a multivitamin I could probably go for several months without food before really bad stuff started happening

As it stands, a day or two barely registers

If I could, I'd never have to eat again. I hate having to eat all the time. Hunger always throws you off what you're doing. Sure, I love delicious food, but giving it up and never having to think about "what am I going to eat today, when am I going to cook it..."? Anytime.

One thing that gets me about TV and movies is when people dramatically storm away from the dinner table. I don't think I've EVER seen anybody IRL stop eating and leave just because they were mad. But forgetting to eat is on a whole other level. It's like oops, I forgot all about breathing in and out - better write that on a Post-It.
