During this period, Mr Wilcox was exposed to dangers and hardships galore; the temperature being at times 125 F in the sun; at others 13 F below zero. During all this time, though the physical exertion was as great as it was, not once did he eat breakfast.'Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-10138364140397002752010-03-05T06:46:03.800-08:002010-03-05T06:46:03.800-08:00PS, 'Datorade' - just dates and water :-)PS, 'Datorade' - just dates and water :-)Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-34512809910758413982010-03-05T06:42:06.373-08:002010-03-05T06:42:06.373-08:00You are choosing to exercise in the 'appropria...You are choosing to exercise in the 'appropriation' phase. Whether this is optimal or not is debatable. Also, the Abkhasians are an extremely active race of people (see John Robbins' 'Healthy at 100' for just how active) and still tend not to eat until noon. IMO, there is still no 'must' re eating breakfast if you are exercising in the morning, especially if your body may not have finished the processes of digestion/detoxification. I have also undertaken vigorous exercise in early morning and, since raw, certainly haven't felt the need to pile in food afterwards, although, sure, perhaps a little fruit for water/sugar. Perhaps you might consider Harley Johnson's 'datorade'!Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-52588030322714863362010-03-05T06:32:31.482-08:002010-03-05T06:32:31.482-08:00you have to account for the people that do their w...you have to account for the people that do their workout in the morning before work; i work out from 6-730 am....then go to work at 830....eating at noon would be the absolute worst answer for me...just something for you to consider in the writing of that specific post...thank youStefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14518490374795896664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-74810157497985987292009-08-21T23:25:55.101-07:002009-08-21T23:25:55.101-07:00Yes, 'contemporary English' versions are a...Yes, 'contemporary English' versions are all about what a contemporary English person THINKS (or, sometimes, LIKES to think) the writers thousands of years ago meant.

My colon hydrotherapist, who is from Senegal, is in his late 50s and has the most beautiful youthful clean and clear appearance...and he ALWAYS used to say to me 'breakfast is king, lunch is prince, dinner is pauper". and, his father, whom i met is 95 and looked half his age and is not full vegan and eats a good HEALTHY breakfast. <BR/>so, i think, for me, it is balance, again. right now, my body and my mind (which also, is a KEY to good health, in my regard) like having raw fruits for breakfast...could that change? maybe.<BR/>after having an endocrine system breakdown some years back, i learned very fast that a major key to keeping me healthy, young, and vibrant is stress-reduction. and that can do damage to your system whether you are full raw, cooked, or whatever. <BR/>again, in my own experience, it cannot just be about the body. we are not just our body, we are our thoughts, our hearts, our feelings, our environment. so, all this has to be taken in consideration for true health, imho. <BR/>again, deb, thanks for this. it got me thinking and some days i wake up and do not feel the need to eat a breakfast and some days i do. but either way, when my body, soul, and mind make the joint effort to decide it is not essential....then so be it. ^___^<BR/>thanks deb! i cannot tell you how much your posts help me get the clarity i need and provide the support and understanding of things i am sensing for myself and you seem to pop in at the right time^_______^Milahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881632776067987930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-40158960291240906052008-12-03T22:18:00.000-08:002008-12-03T22:18:00.000-08:00Hi MilaThat's interesting...I've found the same. ...Hi Mila<BR/>That's interesting...I've found the same. Yesterday morning I was spring-cleaning and used that as an excuse to eat (a lot!) of fruit at 11 am. But - 11 am's not far from 12 noon and that's still a whole lot better than stuffing with a cooked breakfast when we've barely started the day. We're 'getting there'...:-)Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-74116519778831611442008-12-03T20:07:00.000-08:002008-12-03T20:07:00.000-08:00wow deb,thanks for this...i am working on the no-b...wow deb,<BR/>thanks for this...i am working on the no-breakfast thing..and do have fruit in the morning...and i do get that 'ravenous' feeling by 10:30-11:00am, and get 'scared' that if i don't eat, i will pass out.<BR/>i do feel, for my body, 11am may be the time. i work at a horse farm in the morning (and ride horses), lots of labour...and maybe i am 'conditioned' to think that i 'must' have some kind of 'fuel' for this work.<BR/>anyhoo...love this...love your blog, as always so insightful!<BR/>--milaMilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881632776067987930noreply@blogger.com
