I said, &#8220;No.\u00a0 Who is?&#8221; without missing a beat.\u00a0 He apparently is hungry every morning the minute he wakes up. Here&#8217;s how he explained it:<\/p>\n<p>Any calories you eat at the end of the day when you are done with your usual activity (may it be daily work or a late night work out) you are not going to burn many calories.\u00a0 You do not burn calories while you sleep. Therefore, if you eat a huge meal at the end of the day and dessert, you&#8217;re body doesn&#8217;t burn those calories and they just sit there.\u00a0 Through the night, your body then considers them &#8216;left over&#8217; calories and stores them.\u00a0 If you eat a light meal for dinner and cut off your eating at a certain time, you&#8217;ll wake up hungry the next day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yogapantsdiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/images.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-325\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yogapantsdiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/images.jpg?resize=229%2C220\" alt=\"images\" width=\"229\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This took me a long time to figure out and agree with.\u00a0 I decided to cut my eating off at 8:30 since I&#8217;m usually in bed at 10:00 or so.\u00a0 After a few days, I would wake up hungry in the morning.\u00a0 My morning meal then helped to fuel me for the morning instead of making me feel heavy.\u00a0 Turns out Frankie was right.\u00a0 I now wake up hungry or get hungry within the first 30 minutes of waking up.\u00a0 It helps me get started and on track for the day.\u00a0 Some mornings I&#8217;ve even planned what I&#8217;m going to eat that day before my feet hit the floor.\u00a0 It gets me focused on my choices right away.<\/p>\n<p>Are you waking up hungry? Are you wanting to eat breakfast? If not, then look at how you are eating at night.\u00a0 This will definitely help with weight loss!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have never been a big breakfast eater or really feel motivated to eat in the morning.\u00a0 I usually never felt hungry and would feel full and heavy when I ate in the morning.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t know this was abnormal.
