I read somewhere that in the 1950's a struggling company called Kellogg's hired some big noise from the advertising world who came up with the logo ' Breakfast , the most important meal of the day !' and completely turned the company fortunes around .Originally Posted by zina10
Hm, that is really interesting !!!
I didn't know that was a thing. I've been doing that forever. Only..I don't eat until late, I start with dinner and I like to snack in the evening. But I usually don't eat breakfast and I don't eat lunch.
I always get fussed at over it, too. My mom can't stand it. They are big on breakfast and when she comes to visit it drives her crazy. Sometimes I do have to eat, because we go out to lunch. It makes me feel sluggish for the rest of the day.
I like to eat when all the work, all the chores are done and I can sit down and enjoy it. I DO feel better and energized that way, always have. I used to think there is something wrong with me, its unhealthy, its not normal, but I always feel better when I'm not being badgered into eating before I'm ready. And it hasn't killed me yet, LOL.
So now I can say I'm on this healthy lifestyle called "The Fast" and hopefully people will leave me alone about it.
The idea was made up as an advertising gimmick and was complete bunkhum !
A soon as you eat breakfast ( usually some form of carbs ) you will be hungry all through the day as your body will then be craving or chasing carbs all day . If you delay 'breakfast' you won't feel hungry until after you eventually ' break fast' later on ... it just takes a few days to 'educate' your body of the changes .
As regards the 16:8 or even the 19:5 fasting methods they go back thousands of years when people were generally healthier and stronger more active . I've read accounts of herdsmen , cowboys , even warriors / armies used to do it .
Pretty sure that I read somewhere that NOBODY had breakfast at all in the UK until the 1900's .
