I do dinner canceling one or two times a week for more than ten years now. And I am still enjoying it. No reason to drop it.

I haven't eaten breakfast since I was in the military. I only eat one if someone else is paying for it. Unless I stuff my face late at night, I get 14-15 hour fasts every day regularly.

  Great. But also keep in mind that breakfast is your most important meal for the day. You could probably skip lunch instead.

    Any references that prove this? I have been skipping breakfast for years, and feel fine. Eating breakfast makes me feel sluggish

      Just the thought of a breakfast makes my stomach churn. And if I eat something I usually get hungry a lot faster than if I'd just skip the whole breakfast.

        Lobbyists? Sure. They're lobbying for American Fast Food restaurants and coffee shops, the way I see it. But I do find truth in breakfast being important as well. Take diabetics for example - skipping breakfast for them would mean a bad spike in BG levels. Additionally, a vast majority of people do experience weakness and hunger as soon as they wake up. I see that as a good enough need to address that situation, or else getting things done while starving would either be a pain or end up going wrong. Again, if you have conditioned your body to go without breakfast for 20 years, you might as well stick to it.

    Most important for what? I’ve naturally skipped breakfast (just black coffee) since I was a teenager. It’s been 20 years now and I didn’t even realize I was practicing IF until I read about it a few years back. I’ve felt fine and productive the entire time. The only times I’ll eat in the morning is if I’m traveling, or know I’m going to be doing something intensely physical in the early afternoon (Muay Thai or two hours of yoga practice).

      From what I know its considered most important for various things. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20181126-is-breakfast-good-for-your-health https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20181126-is-breakfast-goo... https://share.upmc.com/2017/07/reasons-breakfast-is-important/ https://share.upmc.com/2017/07/reasons-breakfast-is-importan... https://health.clevelandclinic.org/do-you-really-need-to-eat-breakfast/ https://health.clevelandclinic.org/do-you-really-need-to-eat... Was able to get some quick references from Google, but I really did read and hear about it from multiple sources as well.
