There seem to be two camps regarding breakfast: those who can’t live without it and those who can and do so regularly. Many prioritize more sleep, but breakfast abstainers miss out on the opportunity to provide the metabolic booster that breakfast contributes to our system. Restricting calories is never the way to go, especially first thing in the morning. If anything, it’s the best time of day to indulge!
We get a lot of questions here at CCN about skipping breakfast in terms of intermittent fasting (IF). A doctor or health professional should monitor IF, just like Keto. They are both very dangerous if not done correctly and can wreak havoc on your endocrine system (hormones). We at CCN feel neither is effective for long-term weight loss goals because you must do something sustainable. So unless you plan to do this for life and are prepared to miss out on so much quality of life… eating out, enjoying parties, etc., don't flirt or toy with such restriction. Unless you have a medical condition that requires you to eat this way, it's not worth it. #endofsoapbox
