The Effects of Intermittent Fasting on Human and Animal Health
I haven't had breakfast since about 2007.  Well, of course there are days where I do have it when I'm staying over at a hotel, or I'm at an early work function.  But I don't make breakfast for myself at home.  My first meal is between 12h30 and 13h30.  I don't feel any worse (or better) than when I used to eat breakfast in the past, but it's been so long that I really can't tell.  I suppose this can be considered a type of fasting because of the length of time between lunch and supper the previous night.<p>I've never really understood the idea that breakfast is the most important meal of the day because I've never suffered from any ailments because not eating breakfast.  Or maybe I have and I just don't know it?  But then I could apply that same logic to times when I got inexplicably ill or just was not performing at my peak and I <i>did</i> have breakfast.  My point is that I don't notice any significant changes in my health and or behaviour.<p>Of course I don't advise anyone doing this (or NOT doing - check with your physician first), but I still firmly believe that there is a lot of about diet and fitness that has to do with the physiology of the individual.<p>(BTW, if anyone else thought the linked article sounded familiar it might be because you've read it already.
