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.

“Unfortunately, according to the studies, it doesn’t work for the majority.”

Actually, if it DOES work for me, then it means it is NOT the problem the other people are encountering.

If X is THE CAUSE of Y, then someone doing X - or in this case, millions doing X - and having Y not happen means X does NOT cause Y.

There are now MILLIONS of people who deliberately skip breakfast every day and are not seeing anything bad. In fact, we’re seeing many good things.

Skipping breakfast because you are too weak to get out of bed means a bad thing is happening, but the bad thing is being too weak (or too poor) to be able to eat breakfast. What the studies you linked really show is “Wet sidewalks cause rain”.

No one bothers to study the many people doing “Time Restricted Eating” - a form of Intermittent Fasting - to see if it is “skipping breakfast” that causes the problem. Maybe because there are no breakfast cereal companies willing to pay for it.
