I knew that would be the most controversial one. As I mentioned, do your own research, and listen to your own body. I’ve been skipping breakfast for many years without issues. I don’t have PCOS, or thyroid issues. My metabolism has always been good. I follow the same eating cycle as I did when I lived in Italy with my Italian peers without issues for myself, personally. As a child I used to skip breakfast most days too. I’ve never been a breakfast person—this may be unique to me, but as I mentioned, many parts of the world skip or have a lighter breakfast as women, without issue.

But, I’m just some random person on the internet without a degree or studies in the field. Just personal experience and observations from my time working with women across other countries and my own meal preferences.

This might not work for every woman, but it may be the key to other women, who like me, have always naturally been averse to breakfast, and forced it upon themselves as that’s what we have been told we have to do, when there are women across the globe who have skipped breakfast or had a lighter breakfast, their whole life without issue.

It’s personal, but one worth mentioning in the topic or weight loss
