I visited friends in the country this afternoon and they gave me some eggs from their own hens. Don't usually buy eggs, but am going to have scrambled eggs on toast tomorrow as a treat! The bad news is, Jan always bakes for afternoon tea, so I was looking forward to a nice home-made scone.

I too love eggs, my current fave is 2 poached eggs on dry thick toast (preferably made with wholemeal bread containing many seeds). I love the runny yolks. It's a fab quick and healthy tea for my 2 children as well - daughter loves poached eggs, son an omelette with cheese (and tomato sauce)!

William you'd probably be better cutting out the bacon as it's got a lot of saturated fat in it. Why not try toast and eggs OR toast and beans with your yogurt - you need to have some calcium and you'll get that from the yogurt. Apples are good! ...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlSat, 26 Apr 2008 13:33:30 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlSince reading the replies I have started to eat breakfast again to see if it will speed up my weight loss. I have found that by eating eggs , toast with beans and bacon and a low fat yogurt , then apple mid-morning I do not feel hungry at all. However my weight has actually increased this week.

I have never been a breakfast person but have tried to eat it as it is recommended by many weight loss plans. I too would find that if I ate cereal or porridge I was always hungry mid morning. I have only started this week but have been eating wholemeal toast with beans and bacon, omelettes with fry light stuffed with mushrooms and tomatoes etc and sometimes followed by a low fat yoghurt. I would have thought that eating breakfast would have made me ...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlSat, 26 Apr 2008 07:19:27 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlYou need protein. I lost a stone eating 3 poached eggs and 2 slices of bacon and a bit of brown rice for breakfast and am not hungry until lunch time. It is definitely right for me. A lot of women in particular don't eat enough protein.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlFri, 25 Apr 2008 21:31:57 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlGosh! I have at least 2 eggs every day - I love them - and I'm a "twice a day" girl (too much information, I know!). Drink lots of water, that moves things on.

The carbs, even complex ones, are easily taken up and blood sugar rises, then drops again making you hungry. Try adding a bit of protein - a couple of boiled aggs and a slice of wholemeal toast always keeps me full until well after noon and don't raise blood sugar as quickly or as high. Porridge is good too, yum....http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlTue, 22 Apr 2008 08:30:26 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlDaisy I've lost a stone and a half since Christmas but eat 3 meals a day, starting with a huge bowl of porridge (see porridge thread for ideas) made with water. I exercise too but don't get hungry very often. The porridge keeps me going till lunchtime. In fact my stomach is rumbling now - nearly 6 hours after the porridge! I've got brown rice risotto heated up for lunch which will keep me going for teatime then....http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlMon, 21 Apr 2008 11:43:33 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlme too! i had a slimfast drink at 7am and its only 9.30 and I'm feeling a bit woozy because I'm starving.

If you're really hungry by 11, William then eat! It's fine to eat when we're hungry. It's eating when we're not hungry that causes problems. I'm always hungry at work by 11 so have an apple or orange in my bag to keep me going til lunchtime. you'll lose weight quicker if you eat breakfast rather than skipping it - you don't want your body to go into starvation mode, and lay down fat reserves because it&...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlSat, 19 Apr 2008 15:34:52 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_797_0.htmlI know everyone says you should eat breakfast but I have found by skipping it I then only want a small lunch. I can sometimes get a little bit hungry mid morning , but not much and get by on coffee with sweetner. Made this change and reducing carbs, more fruit and veg.

Try eating a bit later, perhaps? If I had breakfast at 6.30 I'd be hungry again by 10! Can you eat when you get into work, like Pixie suggested -- or even on the way into work if you have a long commute?

It may sound a strange question, but are you drinking enough liquid? The mind can confuse signals, so it's possible you're body is thirsty, rather than hungry.... Or maybe not!!

I take a yogurt and some fruit in and have it when I feel hungry rather than force some toast down me at 7am and then feel starving at 11.
