Varnishing boats? Yeah, I'd have a few more calories too. ;) Seriously, I can't imagine it not working for you. I think we instinctively eat a bigger breakfast when we know we'll need that fuel during the day, so this should fit in well for you. I think in my case the low-carb aspect is having the best effect, although if it were no-carb (like the first few weeks on one of those famous diets, Atkins perhaps) I'd never be able to do it. I love fruit too much. I envy you all those fresh-picked berries. Bon appetit..and I'm glad you like the blog..and welcome to my blogroll. I'm going to check out your most recent post right now!

And, I'm giving the Big Breakfast diet a go. I'm home from work so late in the summer that 8 p.m. dinners become the norm. I've needed a change in routine, and this should do it. I do think I'll start with 1400 calories, though, just because my work is true manual labor - varnishing boats. If there aren't any results in a couple of weeks, I can cut back some. But I think just rebalancing the meals should help. Such a wonderful blog! <em>shoreacres's last blog post..<a href='http://shoreacres.wordpress.com/2008/07/05/its-their-country-too/' rel="nofollow">It's Their Country, Too?</a></em> I’m recently back from the pick-your-own blueberry farms with quarts of the little dears, so this smoothie is just the ticket.

Wow, a smoothie a day! I should work up to that. If I had wonderful, fresh local strawberries -- so hard to find here -- I'd never waste them in a blender, to be honest. I would just eat them one by one and make a meal of them. But a strawberry and banana smoothie sounds enticing. :) timethief - Good to see you! Wow, a smoothie a day! I should work up to that.
