Hi - I'm new here, too! Started the diet 5/10/13, after almost two months of beating around the bush. Mornings were really hard at first, but getting under control now. Am at 201 lbs, with a 75 lb goal. Just retired, and am having plenty of time now to gather and practice new recipies. I love it. Except in the mornings! Haven't figured out how to overcome fatigue that is peculiar to that time. It isn't until I have a protein at noon---that's when I have mine. After having a protein, my energy soars all afternoon, and I'm not hungry. Am perfectly satisfied with a dinner packet and vegies at night. I guess it's my own particular metabolism cycle, if there is such a thing. Like individual sleep cycles.

Welcome!!
If protein helps, why not have it in the morning too?

Hi and congratulations on your retirement! I'm looking forward to my retirement, although that's another 8 years away.

I agree with VioletDolphin...you can have a protein in the morning as well. I ensure that I have protein at every meal. Possible choices for breakfast include eggs, cheese, Greek yoghurt, a protein shake, etc.

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!
