If you're avoiding refined sugar for health's sake, but then eating bacon and fried eggs, then I'd suggest you think on. Just drinking plain hot water on the bank would keep you warmer than having had a 'hearty breakfast'. What you you think it does ...light a fire inside you?

Sugar free yes, but far from calorie free. But yes Steve, I see it being useful for diabetics. But with that 'healthy option' following the "bacon and fried eggs" bit it made me smile. It sounded a bit like "I like to eat healthily so I don't have salt on the fish and chips I have every night"
There's just SO much rubbish talked about food : folk thinking that 'Sea Salt' is SO much better than standard stuff, or 'Low Sodium Salt' is ok ...when really there's just more Potassium instead of Sodium.
.....and if you've no food in your stomach, the effort exerted fishing immediately results in fat-burning, i.e. that stored fat (usually stored at waistline). If you can't reduce the weight of your kit, reduce your body weightIt got to the point where I was always forgetting about the sandwiches in my bag until I found them packing up so now I simply don’t bother.
I’ll now just have breakfast before I go and a large thermos flask of strong coffee lasts me nicely throughout the day.
properly makes me appreciate the evening meal even more
Don’t remember mentioning anything about the weight of my kit or my gut.....and if you've no food in your stomach, the effort exerted fishing immediately results in fat-burning, i.e. that stored fat (usually stored at waistline). If you can't reduce the weight of your kit, reduce your body weight
spoilt me rotten, set me up next to Tom the bailiff, ( had some great banter over football ). Cheese and Branston on toast for brekkie, with a large mug of tea delivered to the bank. After fishing, it was up to the lodge for an evening meal, cant remember what it was, ( old age setting in 
) but i remember it was very enjoyable, and heart warming after a day on the bank. If memory serves me correctly, i had 8 barbel that day, nothing massive, but all very welcome. Great memories. Cheers Martin. 
. The large breakfast sets me up for the day. Thereafter, whilst on the bank, it's a constant flow of fresh brewed tea.
I like your style Richard. What time do you let your staff retire in the evening?
Oh to be a gentleman angler, with ghillie's and butlers in tow!
The staff may retire when I retire, and my equipment is cleaned and returned to the tackle room in the East Wing. I am not a brute. Deluded, possibly, but not a brute.
It would seem I’m a man of few words Edward and, in recent months, even fewer barbel.
That may be Derek. The long years of seclusion in my ivory tower, with only the dogs and Nanny for company, coupled with endless hours on the river bank staring at motionless rod tops, were bound to take their toll eventually. 19.Blimey
