Greetings!

This is just a slight dilemma which can easily be solved, but I wanted to see how you handle your mornings.

The NUT told me to eat one hour after you wake. In addition, we all follow the 30/30 rule. Also, we are all told to get 64 ounces of fluids per day which has been a challenge for me. As such, my morning decaf with almond milk has been a life saver and really has helped me to reach the 64 ounces of fluids each day.

Ideally, I would love to start with a few cups of decaf coffee with almond milk. Unfortunately, I don’t gulp the coffee so it may take 45 minutes to drink the coffee, enjoying every minute of it! After waiting 30 minutes after drinking before eating, leaves me past the one hour limit on eating breakfast.

How do you handle all the rules for the morning? If have to forego one rule, would it be to ‘eat breakfast one hour after waking’?

Perhaps it was meant as eating a minimum of one hour after waking instead of immediately after waking to promote hydration first. Def check with NUT for clarity.

I ALWAYS wake and hydrate despite hunger even before wls, I can't remember the reasons but my mother instilled this in us.

Something about needing Water more than food (old world stuff)

I wake and drink water, tea coffee, shake, whatever else then wait a min of 30 mins and move on to breakfast. No rush I sometimes drink multiple things slowly and breakfast is at 11am. I let my body guide me.

If you have your several cups of decaf with high-protein milk instead of the almond milk, you can "eat" and drink at the same time. Or, if you have a shake for breakfast, most of us don't do 30-30 between various liquids.
