> While this *may* be true (food scarcity for hunter gatherers is probably
overstated), food availability is no longer an issue.  So you should only
eat when hungry.  My education in true hunger came from fasting which taught
me that the true feeling for hunger arises in the mouth not in the stomach.

this unconfortable feeling in the stomac in the morning that peoples calm by
eating is in fact the desintoxification process that continue from the night
in a body who have to deal with foods that it didn't want in the first place
.
peoples who eat instinctivelly after few days don't experience it anymore
and so are not hungry before noon . it have been my case for the 8 years i
did eat instinctivelly strickly now that i am seasonning my salads i got to
eat someting in the morning .
during the desintoxification process drug like metabolites ( from
unassimilated foods )recirculate thru the blood to be eliminated giving rise
to an awfull feeling ( withdrawal symptoms ) the surest way to stop this
feeling is to eat exactelly what the body is working hard to eliminate from
the system ( drug effect).

if you can't go by and working hard without eating in the morning it might
be an indication that you eat what you should not .hunter gatherers don't
takes breakfast i read a book about the hunter gatherers in malaysia they
start to eat in the middle of the day snacking along here and there whatever
they find on their way .
