Thoughts on skipping breakfast as part of an intermittent fasting regimen?

I don’t think this a good option for me because If I get up and don’t eat breakfast I can immediately feel weak and almost sick.

I dont think intermittent fasting works for everyone, but if your body thrives off of that, then that’s great! I think it’s more important to listen to your body and provide fuel as needed.

I highly recommend intermittent fasting and of course when you’re fasting you cannot eat hard food just make sure you’re hydrated and then break your fast with healthy delicious meal. 😋

I think it depends on your day. If you’re doing the 18-6 fast, and you have to work on your feet from 10-9 pm, then breakfast is crucial , and having a good lunch break is also important. If your working 9-5 in an office, then maybe skipping breakfast is the way to go. It’s all about the ways you schedule it, and the conversations your body is having with you.

Couldn’t do it. I find breakfast to be a great start for my data. As long as you choose healthy foods, you’re good to go. I did pick a new healthy habit in the morning though: start the day by drinking a glass of water with the juice of a lemon. I feel like I start the day by cleaning my body on the inside.

Personally, I would rather invest in a full one or two days of fasting every couple months than minute breakfast fasting. That gives your system more time to do less processing of any input, and work on the output of any backlog which there is likely to be. So far, I have always felt better after my full day fasts. I would like to get back to implementing that every 3-4 months

If I am fasting for faith reasons I do not have breakfast or any meals Only water Otherwise I have breakfast most mornings or at least something to eat even if its a banana or other quick snack

It’s impossible to skipp breakfast because it’s the first meal of the day, it’s not dependent on time of day. Having it late is something I do regularly, calling it fasting is more positive than saying starving till you feel like eating.

I would say it is good for the mid term, not for the long term. I did it for a year and a bit and it was great to increase my metabolism. Find some initial self control and balance in your life. And especially if youre the type of person who doesn’t feel breakfast benefits them hugely. But I would say dont make it a lifestyle change. Eventually go back to having delicious mindful breakfasts. And attempt a lot of different ones. When you find "YOUR" breakfast you’ll start to love it!

I am far away from trying intermittent fasting. Thus I did not yet thought about it... I think I need to set up a routine to be able to skip it from time to time.
