Break the Fast

What about breakfast? There are cultures in the world who don’t insist that their people eat a 3 egg omelet every morning. These are people who are thin and healthy, as well.

So why is that if, quote, Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day?

Much of the research showing the impact of breakfast looks its role in school performance in children. For these groups, there is a clear effect on improved academic performance as well as attention (Now See Here).

Perhaps this is the difference — between adults and children. Kids tend to have a higher metabolism and could become hypoglycemic through the morning. This is why they often need a fruit snack or nuts or cheese, for example, mid-morning or mid-afternoon.

By contrast, adults who eat food — not faux foods — are less likely to have hypoglycemia issues at 10:30am and 3:00pm and are, therefore, less likely to need a big breakfast. Keep in mind that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and one must judge your own body’s tendencies based on your own body’s needs.

Don’t eat because someone told you to. Trust yourself.
