OOooo.
Look what I just found:

EDIT:
Grips. The OP aint down with the egg
That was aimed at -tom-
[i]note that this is dependent on the individual, these hormones have more effect in some people than others[/i]
Would you say this is linked to their [i]sensitivity[/i] ?.
ie. If a person's diet leads to higher levels of insulin or leptin in the blood. That they become de-sensitized to those levels of hormone.
I'd expect that sensitivity is genetically determined but possibly influenced by diet.
EDIT:
[i]There'll be plenty of people who are skinny and happy all day on half a cup of porridge. I'm not one of them[/i]
Me too.
I've tried to read that book, Burn the fat, feed the muscle.
I found this part interesting:
[i]Characteristics of the ectomorph
Naturally skinny, wiry
Long limbs, linear
Small joints, small-boned
Small waist, narrow shoulders
Angular, projecting bones
[b]Naturally lean[/b] (low levels of body fat without even working out)
Often call themselves "Hardgainers"
Low strength levels prior to starting a training program
Fast metabolism – they burn up everything, even when overeating
Don’t store carbohydrates as fat – high carbohydrate diets are ok
High energy levels
Tendency to be overactive and restless (hyperactive)
Natural born endurance athletes (successful at distance/endurance sports)
Sometimes hard to maintain weight
Extremely hard to gain weight
Sometimes insomniacs
Respond best to low volume, brief, infrequent, high intensity weight training
It takes years of hard weight training and heavy eating to overcome this body type[/i]
I would tend to agree.
I use the 8 hour baked bean recipe*, (obviously you can make it without the gammon) then portion into containers ready for a quick breakfast

energiseforlife.com, You have to sign up but then get a massive amount of info and free recipes which would suit what you're after.
Hmmmm, had a look at that. Can't help feeling I'll be bombarded with products I 'need' to buy into their ethos. Not sure...
When you eat cereal, you'll start to burn carbs, blood sugar will get lower, and you'll want something carby, so the cycle repeats*
Depends on the cereal for me. Porridge or muesli keep hunger at bay for a lot longer than cornflakes.
My breakfast currently consists of; 4 egg whites, protein powder, coconut milk and then a small handful of frozen berries or crushed ice cubes. Occasionally a banana too.
You could omit the egg whites no problems. There's about 7g carbs in the powder, about 3g carbs in 300ml of Kara coconut milk and then it's just the sugars in the fruit...
I did all bran with soya milk (minging)for a couple of weeks, felt beneficial in what I imagined was a "less early carbs" fashion

That site has got some brilliant slow carb / idiet recipes. Thanks for the link.
quinoa porridge?
I make my own baked beans and usually have some in a pan on top of the cooker ready to heat up (or eat as they are.
A batch has never taken me more than 15 mins to make (using tinned haricot, canellini or borlotti beans as a base). Just fry up some bits of tasty, like onion pepper mushrom chorizo etc., add tinned tomato and add the beans.
Fartastic!
I have very little muesli, lots of lidl's finest 0.1% fat yogurt and a dash of skimmed milk for a quick breaky. Does the trick for me.
