LOL...he generally avoids making decisions!

It usually reqiures a testimony that he can relate to (NeanderThin gave him
"permission" to try paleo...since it worked for Ray) for him to even
consider making changes. Then he'll think about it once in a while, for a
few weeks or months or however long, and then he might try it, and if he
sees immediate results, he'll stick with it but not without going back to
his old habits just to make sure that he really was quite
unhappy/uncomfortable like that.

What I am actually wondering is if there are people who indeed can not
tolerate breakfast at all, much less meat for breakfast. Ben (my DH) insists
that he *can not* eat breakfast, now please pass the coffee pot thank you
very much. It seems he's just not used to doing so, and unwilling to change
that despite his constant tired, cranky mood. When I changed my habits from
two cups of coffee and two smokes for breakfast, to three eggs and some
sausages (and toast, at the time), I felt great! (And I haven't smoked for
three years!) But maybe the transition was so easy for me because I was
pregnant at the time.

When I was anorexic "way back when" I was 14, I would become physically ill
if I smelled food in the morning. It took years to overcome this. Now I
become physically ill if I delay breakfast. It seems our bodies'
relationship with food is something that doesn't take kindly to change.

It just seems so unnatural to not eat in the morning. How else do you have
energy to get through the day? Besides coffee and doughnuts.
