| I think the biggest contributor for me was getting off cereal. For as long as I can remember I have eaten a bowl or two for breakfast. I often ate it for a bedtime snack as well and even for quick meals when I was in a rush. Usually corn flakes and I added the sugar. It was an easy and cheap meal because I was a dairy farmer. I realize now that it kept my blood sugar levels continuously high. For the last few years I had begun to substitute chips for a late night snack. I knew it wasn’t good but I NEEDED to eat something. My hunger cravings back then were much worse. I didn’t realize the reason why until reading about this subject.
This winter I stopped eating cereal completely and I only ate eggs in the morning. I think the length of time from not eating at night and not eating carbs again until noon was the biggest factor for causing my body to switch to being able to burn fats for energy. For most of the winter I hardly ate any carbs but now in the summer, out of convenience, I’ve begun to eat a bit more carbs at the other two meals. I’m still way below on the amount of sugars and carbs than I was eating before and I still seem to be staying about 15 lbs lighter than I was last fall. It is amazing how stable my energy level is, even if I skip a meal.
