topic it's "Should I skip breakfast or not".
A lot of people ask this of me and you know there's a good reason behind it many people
go well I heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and you know I should
never skip it's gonna boost my metabolism it's gonna do all these great things for me
and then you have the other aspect where people are going well you know what if you eat breakfast
you're missing out on all the benefits of intermittent fasting, so you know there's
not a right or wrong answer here but let's go ahead and talk about this topic.
Now, when we look at eating breakfast you know when I grew up I ate terrible things
for breakfast. It was usually a bagel, toast, like waffles or in not like a healthy version
of a waffle either, or sugar-filled cereal and you know those were all terrible because
you're waking up first thing in the morning you're spiking your blood sugar, and then
on top of that I would typically have a glass of juice which just further spiked my blood
sugar, so the thing is, if you're gonna eat breakfast you want to do it in a healthy way.
A good healthy way deep breakfast is gonna be eating something like an omelet that's
loaded with eggs which have a good amount of fat protein, and lots of nutrients in it,
and then add some greens in it so you're even getting some more nutrients within that omelet,
so that's one good thing to have for breakfast. And then also, smoothies are great for breakfast
as well, and the reason they're great is because you're just able to throw in lots of fresh
foods fruits, lots of fresh vegetables and you're able to get a very huge energy filled
just nutrient-dense smoothie first thing in the morning, and that's a good way to start
breakfast too and I like to have a small breakfast because if you have a big breakfast it really
activates the parasympathetic side of your nervous system, and it kind of just kind of
just drags you down. You just have a big decrease in energy after breakfast, so if you're gonna
have it I like to have a small breakfast and I'm the only one in my home who actually doesn't
eat breakfast on a daily basis there's a lot of good reasons to eat breakfast. First of
all, my kids, they're growing they need to eat breakfast my wife is pregnant needs to
eat breakfast, and then for myself as well when I'm participating in like long-distance
running, I eat breakfast as well because I'm so hungry all the time that it's the only
way I can get enough food in. so, there's a lot of good reasons to eat breakfast and
then maybe there are some reasons that you shouldn't eat breakfast as well.
Some of these reasons, first of all, lean towards more if you're someone who is suffering
from some metabolic instability you have like high blood sugar or low blood sugar, you have
high insulin levels you're trying to accomplish some health goals, lose some weight there's
a good lot of good reasons to skip breakfast, and some of the good reasons to skip breakfast
beyond what I just mentioned are first of all, if you skip breakfast you're gonna be
able to increase your human growth hormone, you're gonna increase fat-burning in the body
lets you trying to lose weight, balance metabolic hormones your blood sugars all over the place,
you have hyperglycemia, high blood hypoglycemia, and so balance those metabolic hormones out,
decrease inflammation, increase your energy level because when you skip breakfast then
your body is able to use that energy that it would normally use for digesting food in
order to accomplish other tasks in the body, and also give you more energy.
Most people are overeating, so they're doing the exact opposite. They're overeating and
it's just dragging them down, just depleting of them of their energy. So, skipping breakfast
helps increase your energy, boost and balance your immune system. Many people suffer from
autoimmune conditions this is a good thing to do. Anti-aging and then support detoxification.
So there are all these great reasons to make sure you're skipping breakfast and they all
have to do with intermittent fasting, and if you're not familiar with intermittent fasting,
I'll put a link to a video right up here that I did that gives you a complete guide on everything
you need to know about intermittent fasting.
So intermittent fasting basically yes, if you're skipping breakfast you're gonna be
falling into about a 16 hour fasted state and then you eat within an eight hour period,
you have lots of benefits but it doesn't mean you have to, and it doesn't mean that you
should do it every day. So, like I said you could do it like I do, and you can just do
intermittent fasting 5-6 days a week, a breakfast one to two days a week, and you can be right
in between there.
So, this is my opinion on breakfast if you're gonna eat breakfast, make it healthy and make
it good otherwise skip breakfast all together have yourself a black coffee, have yourself
an iced tea, and just coast into that, coast on that fast until lunchtime.
