I went to a porridge phase before Christmas for a few months; funnily enough, I can't usually stand porridge with milk; I generally had it with water alone; now, I usually eat two weetabix biscuits with a pint glass of water before dashing off to work and getting something proper for lunch; there's a place nearby that does a really nice lamb sandwich with feta cheese. Mmm.

Mind you, the early morning cigarettes probably utterly negate any possible good effect this may all have (only two-and-a-half months until July, isn't it? Might be a good time to take certain things more seriously....).
Why July (where's the significance there?) - but, more significantly, what about those early morning cigarettes? What you want to do to your lungs, chest, etc. is your prerogative and yours alone, of course (as indeed it should be), but why deliberately risk screwing up parts of your system by inhaling poison? I can't understand the porridge thing either, martle and Mort - what's the appeal that anyone finds in it?
It's absolutely marvellous when done well but I openly admit that, even then, I would only want it from time to time rather than regularly. Trouble is (if I'm honest), my "breakfast" is far less healthy already than yours, because it usually consists of a large glass of air sometimes accompanied by a cup of coffee (for usually I find it almost impossible to stomach anything more substantial for breakfast); OK, so now you know that I'm about the last person to be qualified to comment to you about healthy breakfasts(!), but... Best, Alistair |

As Dr Johnson in his dictionary rather rudely defined oats: 'a grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.' But the English are a strange race too. |

Why July (where's the significance there?) Ah - the true voice of a wholly innocent non-smoker, evidently! |

Aaaaargh! (Alistair, you have not lived, evidently, with the prospect that a REALLY IMPORTANT part of your doomed life is about to be legislated against!). Have I said 'Aaaaaaaargh!' already?  |

Someone told me that the more you eat for breakfast, the quicker you get hungry again during the morning. With the "traditional" English breakfasts of either heavily-processed cereals or processed bread with sugary jam, that's quite possibly true. A bowl of cornflakes or slice of toast is going to play hell with your blood sugar levels, and as soon as your blood sugar crashes you'll crave food again. You need a breakfast with a sensible glycemic index, such as a chunk of protein with a good dose of fat to stabilize your blood sugar. Bacon and egg would be a good choice... steak or salmon would be better ones! Your body breaks down protein and fat much more slowly than it does carbohydrate, so a steak at breakfast will give you a "slow release" energy source and you'll go longer before wanting to snack again. |

Wow. Maybe I'm going to try having a steak at breakfast sometime soon (how about chopped steak together with a slightly spiced omelette, together with orange juice and coffee?) and report back as to whether it works!

If not, we'll all come and visit you in hospital. |
