      I stopped eating breakfast most days. Don’t need it. I rarely eat cereal when I do. And I used eat cereal so much when I was younger. Then I realized even the “healthy” cereal is not good for you. Just sugar disguised as something else.

        When the commercials say [brand] [product] is a part of this complete breakfast, it would still be a complete breakfast with the cereal removed.

        I’ve stopped eating breakfast, lunch, and most days dinner too! Gosh end stage capitalism is fun when for meals I just keep convincing my body that no, you aren’t actually hungry as I drink more water.

          I stopped eating breakfast not really to save money, but to extend my fasting for health benefits. I too skip most lunches. Autophagy can repair damage the human body goes through.

          We really don’t need to eat as much as we were programmed into thinking we do. Going from low-carb/keto to OMAD (one meal a day) made it easier to do.

          Breakfast being the most important meal of the day was an ad campaign. Same with Milk doing a body good. It’s all corporate nonsense.

            Milk doing a body good

            I’m a child of the 90s. My parents believed that so hard. I had to have a large glass of milk every night with dinner, and couldn’t leave the table until it was gone. I’m also lactose intolerant. I have many memories of crying in pain in the bathroom :)

              In high school my girlfriend’s family had a milk fridge in the garage. A whole fridge full of gallons of whole milk. They went through over a gallon a day between her parents and 2 siblings. They bought into the propaganda hard.

            I think there are some studies around, where people eating breakfast have an easier time to control their weight. They let them eat the same calories on a day and the breakfast group didn’t take on weight. I think that might be because the breakfast group had higher energy levels and therefore also expended more energy by movement before lunch.

        You can get unsweetened bran flakes, those are a great source of fiber and added vitamins. They suck, because they’re unsweetened bran flakes, but healthy cereal does exist.

            I didn’t mind Grape Nuts as a kid… but had to sprinkle sugar on it, which kind of defeated any health benefits.
