I feel more awake when fasting. I feel sluggish and hungry if I eat breakfast. It's not ridiculous to skip breakfast. How is that idiotic ? I have top health markers for my age and do a variety of different types of physical sports. I think the old adage (still popular among powerlifters and bodybuilders) to eat every 3-4 hours to be completely stupid. We never evolved like that, it's a luxury modernity that this is even an option.

> We never evolved like that, it's a luxury modernity that this is even an option. That's the brainletism I was referring to. You could have easily verified your assumption by looking at remaining hunter-gather populations, who serve as a good proxy for you ancestors, and had you done that, you would have discovered that--surprise, surprise--they don't fast: youtu.be/Ci70YYaVHeQ?t=2807

  You're overly confident in your tone and thin on details (and a written link goes further than a YouTube reference). How in the world is a remaining hunter gatherer population in 2022 a proxy for what happened tens of thousands of years ago. That's an assumption you're expected to justify, first off. Secondly, how is food abundance being modern a 'brainletism' or whatever you're enjoying repeating as a sort of provocation.

    > and a written link goes further than a YouTube reference That's an interview with Herman Pontzer, PhD, the lead author of the most import papers published to date studying the energy expenditure of the Hadza of Tanzania, one of the few remaining hunter-gather populations. By all means, keep believing that your ancestors subsisted off of 100% Woolly Mammoth meat in between days of starvation, if it makes you happy.
