Hey All...need Some Advice.
Kudos on the awesome weight loss! I too have problems eating in the morning! I usually wait till about ten if im hungry to try and eat someone told me to drink hot coffee but that really upset my tummy! I talked to my nutritionist and she says try and sip on stuff and if not hungry dont worry! So thats what i do i play it by ear! They say allot of bands have a mind of their own! Picky picky lol continue what ur doing because its working amazingly!
