I always found/find I am really hungry in the morning since I stopped smoking, before that I was a 3 coffee's/ 5 ciggie kinda chick and wouldnt eat until about 1pm, which was usually a pint and then something lardy etc, ANYWAY....
Since I've started eating breakfast I have generally been on a cereal tip.
I started with the classic Special K, which made me full for around 10 minutes or so, then I thought right, add some berries, so I did that, still around 15 before hunger kicked in, so I moved onto sustain, which was ok, but to be honest I think I was just fooling myself by the promising packaging.
Then I tried oats and more, which was lush, but really sweet, which is a no no for me as just the taste of sweet makes me want more, so I bought oatiflakes and haven't changed since.
I hate the texture of porridge, but I like the fullness, so oatiflakes for me is ideal. It can get a bit boring though, so I add rasins or cranberrys, blueberries, whatever is on offer at the supermarket generally.
Oats is also good for depression apparently, so it works on more than one level.
I eat special K bars & Alpen light bars for a snack once a day, sometimes twice if I am being really naughty, but the rest of the time I stick to fruit for a snack, but genrally melon, grapes, pineapple and apples, no particualr reason, i just like them, but I have read good stuff about them in the calorie world.
I also eat alot of beans, like mung beans, audiki beans, haricot beans all of those little monsters, they really fill you up! I make a wicked bean stew with quon beef syle pieces and beans and tomatoes, its pretty lush and only takes 15 minutes to make.
I haven't felt hungry at all since I've been eating this way, but that has it's problems bcause I always feel like I am cheating even though I am not!
I should count calories but I find that method doesnt work for me.
So far in 2 weeks Ive lost 9lbs, so it must be working ok and I do now feel fuller quicker too, or maybe I just can't eat another blinking mung bean! LOL
Also remember if your due your monthlys you might feel hunger than normal?
Hope that helps!
Oh yes, you can do scrambled eggs in a microwave in a tupperware box, just beat as normal, add your seasoning, a little tiny bit of milk and seal lid almost fully, just a tiny gap for air, 2 minutes 'DING' rework with a fork, perfect! No quite omelette, but close enough!
