Heck, live dangerously. Try those for breakfast. What's the worst that could happen. I eat dinner for breakfast frequently. Did our evolutionary ancestors insist on porridge for breakfast? Monotony v. variety. Which is ideal? The Tarahumara thrive on no starch other than corn. And I have been happy for months at a time on rice (both brown and white), groats, potatoes, or bread. But other camps, e.g. the raw foodies who don't have the word starch in their vocabulary, are all about oooh variety. We don't hear much about their poop. I have been skipping breakfast on yoga mornings though, for two reasons: rather exercise on empty AND i hear good things about a restricted feeding window....I will try skipping breakfast and maybe switch to rice&potatoes instead of pasta for lunch.
I throw about 1tsp ground flax in when cooking grains. More(less) if things are too loose(firm). Works for me. But I may just be enjoying a placebo effect and irregularity probably clears in most cases by doing nothing. Dr. McDougall is fine with whole seeds. I don't remember if he recommends soaking or even chewing them.Flax seeds? Grounded? As a condiment? Would whole seeds work as well?
