I’ve skipped breakfast for most of my life. Not a problem.
Association studies are worthless unless the impact is a 100% increase or more. Why? Because there are far too many factors in population studies that cannot be accounted for.
For example, WHY is someone skipping breakfast? Is it because they are already sick and don’t feel like getting up and making one? Is it because they are poor? And what do they eat the rest of the day?

Umm...when I went Keto and starting restricting my meals to Noon - 6pm, I lost a lot of weight. Cholesterol stayed the same, HDL increased nearly 50%, triglycerides dropped. And a lot of people have experienced the same thing.
Nothing magical about “breakfast”, particularly when so many people are not “breaking” any kind of a “fast”!

Gee, I wonder who paid for that study?
Glad to hear what’s working for you.
Unfortunately, according to the studies, it doesn’t work for the majority.
You certainly make a good point that there are various reasons why people skip breakfast, though still the adverse effects occur for the majority who do that.
Thanks for your input.
