Same here, in fact I'm so not used to having breakfast that any time I try to I have awful nausea.

Dinner time, after work and chores is the best time to cook, eat, socialise and take our time enjoying some food.

These anecdotes are interesting. While they might fly in the face of science, they provide strong evidence that there is no one size fits all.

The biggest issue with almost any kind of diet is that it takes gargantuan force of will to actually stick to. So I think that if one finds any kind of healthy (calorie and macro-nutrient-wise) eating regimen that they can follow, better not trying finding something else on the premise that it might be more effective.

> I'm so not used to having breakfast that any time I try to I get an awful nausea.

This is likely just force of habit. Force yourself to eat something light - just a yoghurt or a piece of fruit - in the morning for a few days, and the nausea will likely go away.

I might force myself, or just keep doing what feels best :-)

After all, if one needs to lose weight there are many more effective tools than just forcing oneself to have breakfast.

My intent is not to convince you to do anything, rather to point out that "I never do X and feel bad when I do X" shouldn't lead one to the conclusion "doing X is bad for me".
