Started eating breakfast recently, or more like a glass of waater,
weetabix, the cereal and a cup of coffee.
Now however i am more hungry by lunchtime than when i didnt eat
anything for breakfast. I don t like eating huge meals as it slows
me down and i want to go to sleep, so what is a good hearty
breakfast that wont leave you feeling like you want to go into
hibernation for a month

My guess is that because you're eating a breakfast that's basically a
big hunk of carbohydrate and no fat and little protein, what's
happening is that mid-morning, your blood sugar starts dropping as
the rapidly-burned carbs are gone, and then you're starving.

I'd try eating something that's more protein (and possibly fat) based
and try to eliminate the carbs, and see what happens. Like... have a
couple of hard-boiled eggs. Or some cheese. Something like that,
which has protein and fat but no sugars.

It might not work for you, because everyone's metabolism is
different, but when I stopped eating cereal or bread and started
eating things like an egg and a slice of bacon, I stopped getting so
hungry mid-morning.

I totally agree about not making carbs (and by extension, sugars) the
focus of breakfast. A couple of eggs rather than toast or cereal in
the morning doesn't leave me feeling like I'm starving by lunch time.
An egg scrambled with a little grated cheese and a couple of slices
of bacon, even better (I love bacon!) :)

I love bacon, too, but I like it *in* something, like chopped up with fresh
green beans cooked down on the stove - Southern style. For breakfast, I
really enjoy plain fruit. I think I gorged myself on grapes this morning
because I feel rather bloated. LOL. I'll graze on fruit through the day
and then I'll eat some sort of veggie for dinner. I'm thinking of Japanese
cucumber salad for dinner tonight. We've got 3 cucumbers that need to be
eaten as well as a tomato. Marinate them in a nice rice wine vinegar salad
dressing with a touch of ginger and garlic. Sounds good to me! (Sorry,
Jill, I know you're not a salad person. <g> )
