Find something you can stomach. I'm not much of a breakfast person myself. Lately, it's been a celery stalk with cream cheese, kinda makes you think you have a bagel, and give you the cream cheese taste.

Good luck,

Yes Yes Yes

You fast all night. You should eat something, anything, within an hour of wakin and never go more then 5 waking hours qithout eating. The morning meal starts your metabolism and sets the day up. After eating it for a while your body will adjust and demand it.

People that don't eat breakfast not only slow weight loss, but also may have problems with light headedness or fainting. Note I said may, not everyone has those problems.

Me too. I bring mine to work, and eat it when I'm awake.

Going more than 6 hours with out eating can raise your blood sugar level, which is BAD!

I NEVER USED TO EAT BREAKFAST BEFORE ATKINS. NOW I ALWAYS DO. I WILL BRING SOMETHING SMALL ( HARD BOILED EGG, BACON, OR SAUSAGE) AND I EAT AROUND 9:30 10:00. SOMETIMES I WILL BRING AN ATKINS SHAKE IF I KNOW I WON'T HAVE TIME TO EAT. THAT FILLS ME UP FOR A COUPLE HOURS.

GOOD LUCK

In my view, if you're not hungry and can function well without breakfast, to what end would you force yourself to eat?

I presume, getting enough calories during lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner shouldn't be a problem.

I have the same "problem" too. I wake fairly hungry. Make breakfast, and can't finish it. When I started induction 3 weeks ago..I would wolf down a 3-4 egg omlette loaded with cheese and 4 strips of bacon. Now, I'm lucky to finish 2 eggs and 2 strips without feeling stuffed.
