To a point but logically it could be concluded that skipping breakfast offers a longer period of time where the blood sugar and insulin response has a chance to drop lower which might hypothetically make a resulting spike from food intake actually higher in comparison.
- joelrunyon 12y agoThat doesn't make any sense. The point is that maintaining lower insulin levels promotes your body using its fat storage rather than food. Yes, you will eventually eat and that spike will happen, but it's not going to be demonstrably higher of a spike because you fasted.
- dllthomas 12y agoIt makes sense - it's fairly common that we see things that get bigger/worse when postponed. It's entirely possible that this doesn't happen with post-fast insulin spikes, but it seems a reasonable thing to want to check on. At this point it's no longer a question that can be resolved without measuring things (or finding other people who have measured those things), though.
