Reading Herbies discussion

1. Has Kathy inspired you to change your breakfast habits? If so, in what way? Are you going to start your day with beans and rice?

I have always been a big believer in breakfast, and I agree it should be hearty! My personal approach is to eat my biggest meal in the morning, and taper off as the day approaches to the end. It's worked for me!.. however, I've been eating oatmeal with fruit for a long time and find that I get hungry (or so I think) before lunch, I'm thinking of trying a few ideas that may have more staying power with me. I like her suggestions a lot.

I am kind of shocked with her harsh anti-egg stance. I have to admit that this flies in the face of a lot of the other books and professional advice I have been given - which is that eggs are not bad, and that cholesterol is not bad per se (but of course that depends on each individual's levels and current health).

I liked her ideas of having leftover rice for breakfast - I often do that with egg fried rice, but tomorrow am going to try rice porridge!
