Letter: I need that no-cake-for-breakfast feeling all day

Published 3 April 2024

From Phil Eden, Sheffield, UK

New weight-loss treatments all seem to concentrate on making you feel full. For a couple of hours after I wake, despite being hungry, the thought of eating chocolate or cake is very unappealing. Come late morning and for the rest of the day, even when full, I can crave these foods (16 March, p 15). Can anyone invent a pill to maintain this first-thing-in-the-morning feeling all day?
