I always skip breakfast...
A lot of people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I honestly couldn't disagree more.
If I have a good breakfast I feel slugish and tired the rest of the day, makes me lose my edge.
I always skip it... or to be more specific, I don't eat food and just drink a big black coffee, no milk no sugar.
This always gets me ready for the day with energy and motivation.
Some years back I researched this. When you wake up your body is primed for using fat as fuel, and to go and hunt, if you give your body some sugar straight away it stops that fat burning state and the sugar/insulin makes you slugish.
Coffee doesn't do this...
Coffee even increases the fat burning by increasing heart rate, and makes your fat cells release more fat to be burned as fuel.
I normally couple this with some L-carnitine supplementation. L-carntine basically takes the fat to the fat burner.

This is very interesting. It's great that a 'no-breakfast' day works well for you. It's the opposite for me. I couldn't go through the day without eating something in the morning.😅 Although during my younger years, skipping breakfast was a norm hehe
I used to get hungry too when I first started, but I've been trying to push back the first meal ever since I started doing this to get to 16h fast, and now I don't get hungry at all, it's all about getting used to it.
I've already walked 7Km and did some work and I still haven't eaten anything, my first meal is at 4pm, which is in 1h, this is what works best for my schedule and I'm pretty strong and healthy.
But yeah, everyone has a different body, so we should do what works best for us.
That's really amazing. It means your body has adjusted well to it and it's truly impressive that you are very active too. I would say you are very disciplined :)
If i don't get a breakfast, I'm no good to anyone for the morning. Food first, then work.
