From a personal point of view, after many years of following conventional guidelines and never missing my breakfast, I began to see that both the scientific research and my own as well as others’ experiences were showing that this was majorly unhealthy.

I now no longer eat breakfast unless I’m pulling a particularly strenuous workload and know that I won’t be able to fit in a meal unless I do. It was hard at first to get rid of the misconception that missing breakfast was supposedly the most damaging things a person could do to their body and health, but after just a few breakfast-free days, I felt light, energetic and most importantly, I didn’t find myself craving more food all day long. From then on, I knew that I wouldn’t be going back to force-feeding my body an early morning meal it didn’t even want or need. I know this is going to be a tough step for a lot of people because, after all, we’ve all been raised on the belief that breakfast is somehow more important than any other meal. If you have a hard time just axing your morning meal right off the bat, I suggest that you try to roll it back gradually, by eating smaller portions or pushing back your normal breakfast time by a few hours.

But I will say this: if you bravely take the plunge and miss a couple of days of breakfast, you will see immediate results. You’ll feel less hungry, you’ll be bursting with vitality, and you may even notice some weight loss in the first few days. That’s because, with breakfast out of the way, your body will no longer be releasing huge amounts of insulin to cope with that unnecessary early morning meal. Once you see the amazing benefits of not forcing breakfast on your body when it doesn’t need it, you’ll never look back!

I know that many people have a hard time getting the energy they need to get their day started and many people view breakfast as a way to fuel themselves through the morning. But the truth is that when you “fuel” yourself with a carb-rich, starchy or heavy meal in the morning, you’re really only spiking your blood sugar and giving yourself an unnatural and short lived sense of energy. After less than half an hour, your body’s natural circadian cortisol response will flush you with an overdose of insulin that will send your blood sugar plunging and your energy levels will be far worse than before you ate.

Still, going breakfast free doesn’t mean that you have to go fuel–free. I’m going to share with you one of the biggest IF hacks out there that will totally revolutionize the way you see your mornings and the way you think, concentrate and feel in the early hours.
