I don't eat in the morning till 10 or 10:30. I just don't feel hungry, and I eat less than when I first started. The bodies cycles are digestion noon til 8 pm, absorbtion 8pm -4am, elimination from 4am to 12 noon. As soon as you eat, you body turns off the elimination and digests. I believe that is part of what messes up the health of shift workers. You know, starting work at 5 am and eating breakfast at 4am. It would be better to eat a piece of fruit - comes with its own digestive enzymes, but isn't very LC for everyday, and wait til later to eat. My kids take the bus at 7:30, and I encourage them to eat last thing before they leave, or take it with them for later. There is a whole notion about not eating after 8 pm. It seems to be valid, but there is an added concept that I have read. A persons timing can be off by up to 2 hours. So, if you are not hungry in the morning till 10, you can probably have something to eat a bit later than 8.
