If you skip breakfast, you might be so hungry from this that you OVEREAT for lunch and this can lead to weight gain. Again, the important thing here is that with an intermittent fasting plan, you’re eating fewer calories than normal because you’re skipping a meal every day. Or you could start with breakfast, eat lunch within 6-8 hours, and then skip dinner if that’s more appealing to you. Always finish eating at least 3 hours before bedtime. Maximum fasting window should.

While Intermittent Fasting (IF) has many variations, the easiest way is to skip breakfast and make lunch your first meal—then, get all the calories you need between lunch and dinner. Intermittent Fasting For Beginners: Should You Skip Breakfast Fundamentals Explained You need to refrain from doing intermittent fasting if you are: (BMI 18.5) or have an. you. For the two fasting days eating about 500 calories, breakfast tends to probably be skipped since there are so few calories to eat anyhow,” Amidor says.

If you think intermittent fasting might be right for you, I encourage you to try it (with the okay of your doctor, of course), but without giving up breakfast. Establishing an early eating window. By making you eat fewer meals, intermittent fasting can lead to an automatic reduction in calorie intake. Additionally, intermittent fasting changes hormone levels to facilitate weight loss.

16/8 intermittent fasting is a popular diet because it’s easy to follow, flexible and sustainable in the long term. It’s also convenient, as it can cut down on the amount of time and money you. Periodic fasting diets involve eating within a certain hourly window each day.

For example, those following the 16:8 diet would fast for 16 hours a day and eat within an eight-hour window. For. If you’re not a fan of breakfast and you usually break your fast by around noon each day, then you should make sure you stop eating by 8:00 p.m. so that you can fast until the next day.

Once you figure out the pattern of eating and meal timing plan that fits you and your body best, you’ll be able to witness the benefits of intermittent fasting.

In this forty-two-hour fasting regimen, you’ll fast for the entire day at least three days of the week and skip breakfast every day, regardless of whether or not you are fasting.

I prefer skipping breakfast rather than skipping dinner because it draws out the period of recycling and ketosis provided by intermittent fasting.

For many, it is helpful to begin after the evening meal, fasting until the next day’s evening meal, so that only two meals are missed.

  • What are your thoughts on the 16 hour fasting benefits? Are you ready to start skipping breakfast? Let me know your thoughts below!

  • I’ve seen a few studies on this now Christina…. so when I get back from my trip next week I’m going to give this a go too…. and mix things up a bit ����

  • i just started with intermitten fasting and really loving your videos they are so helpful I’m really binge watching all of them:)

  • I’ve found this to be true, too. Doing 16:8 by (in my case) eating 7am 1pm results in weight loss. Interestingly, it’s been way more effective for weight loss for me than doing 36 hour fasts has been!

  • Too few people in this trial and I would like to see this experiment done with a low carb diet and the same hours of an eating window one early and one later

  • Thank you for all the great info you bring to us. Been a subscriber for year now, since started keto. Just started carnivore 2 days ago. And luv it for now Either stay on or back to keto. I just luv both these approaches. Always had problem with weight and have lost 43 on keto so far. Yr one in a million Christina. Thank you from ontario, canada. ❤️

  • Depends on your lifestyle. I fannot skip breakfsat because i have an intense workout in the morning and want to be stronger while doing it.
    I love dinner but its harder for me to work in

  • Cos at night Insulin Resistancy is higher so u have longer Blood sugar and Triglycerides in the system! in the morning Insulin Sensitivity s higher less BS & Triglycerides. Everybody should skip dinner not breakfast. It s related to Circadian Rhythm.

  • This doesn’t seem to answer the question “how can skipping DINNER” benefit you. Since the experiment cited is comparing ETRF to a traditional eating pattern, no conclusions can be drawn about how (or if) skipping dinner is better than skipping breakfast.

  • Carlo, you can fast all you want, but you’ll never drop the weight of your crimes. You know what you did. It’s the reason you won’t ever step foot in Cleveland again.

  • Thank you so much! I’ve been skipping breakfast and the weight is coming off but very slowly. I will try it this way starting tomorrow and will let you know how it goes.

  • Fasting helps your body creates ketones, which helps you metabolize fat better. Pretty simple explanation. Nonetheless, I loved the thorough breakdown of the study!

  • DISCLAIMER: Coffee, tea, etc. breaks a fast too. One guy said he just needs caffeine and water, while the other said he had americanos and San pellegrinos but hadn’t eaten that day. So they believe they’ve been fasting all day, but really, it ended with that first drink that wasn’t water. Keep that in mind when deciding between skipping dinner or breakfast. If you’re someone who needs that cup of coffee in the morning, you may be better off skipping dinner.

  • My problem with skipping breakfast is that I won’t be able to lift as long or push myself as hard at the gym. I feel like I end my workout too early and get tired without having some protein and complex carbs in my body. I’ve been skipping dinner lately and feel better.

  • I am an early feeder TRF. I’m usually done with my 2500 calorie consumption by noon. Eating window is typically 6 hrs. For me exercise is the key to my liver producing ketones. I could guzzle MCT oil all day and not get as good a results as a 60 minute bicycle ride outdoors (HIIT). GKI score avg 5.0 for the last year.

  • Literally sound like children whining about how you can’t go to bed hungry and how closed minded you are. Take into consideration other people’s lifestyles and work schedules. Not everyone wakes up at 10am and not everyone goes out to eat with friends every night. You weren’t exactly helpful answering this question.

  • Well I’m complete opposite I would never skip breakfast and never go to bed on a full stomach!!! Still intermittent fast but just skip food later on in the day! I do it and it works for me. Breakfast is an important meal of the day, good to boost motabalism and gives you the energy you need to kick start the day!!

  • I just started the 8-2 or rather mines is 9-3 by happen stance. When I returned from running lately, I have simply too hungry to wait till 11:00. But for the last week I have found if I make my last meal to be at 3pm. It is easier to not eat until the next morning compared to eating from 115 or 6. The second time period, was harder and often I would find myself in the kitchen looking for snacks at 8 pm. I had been trying to lose weight eating later in the day but was consistently failing and actually gaining for months! Not so with the earlier eating window. I’m glad I found this video. It explains a lot. Today is day 5 of eating this way. My only question is sometimes when I go to bed around 8pm, instead of feeling hungry, I feel like I have drank 5 cups of coffee, but I have not. Any thoughts on that?

  • Hi autumn. I’m a beginner in intermittent fasting. I’m doing the 16/8 method. Mostly of the users skip breakfast but I’m skipping dinner. So my question is what is better, skipping breakfast or skipping dinner? I’ll wait for your reply ’cause I’m a little confuse right now hehe

  • Ive tried it both ways and evey time I try to skip dinner it never happens and I always end up eating to much. But when I skip breakfast im good.

  • I’m glad I found your channel. A few days ago I started doing intermittent fasting. I did research and for my schedule, because I work 10-12 hour shifts, I decided to do the 16/8. I weigh 236 and would like to get down to 180 in the future. It’s a trial and error, but I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you.

  • So Autumn, is skipping breakfast is bad during my intermittent fasting? My eating window is from 11am-7pm. I skipped my breakfast everyday, so is that bad to skip my breakfast? Lots of my friend telling me that skipping breakfast is very bad to body.

  • Like another commented, for this to be a true study, they’d have the same fasting amount but one would skip dinner and another would skip breakfast.

  • Geoff Woo is the man!
    Geoff, I know you probably won’t read this, but your presentations and your interviews are by far the best on the internet. Your interviews are even better than most “professional” journalists. Your questions are pointed, I suspect because many times you already know the answer. Nonetheless, you don’t give it away and don’t insult guests. Great stuff man. Refreshingly high quality.

  • One tip would be that you dont do any video cutting and just let the camera roll. It would be way more natural and wouldnt be as stressful and upbeat. Btw very good info on this.

  • I do about an hour of walking everyday. I am curious if it is better to walk first thing in the morning or later in the day? I normally do my walks after work but before dinner. Is that not as beneficial or does it not make a difference? Thanks!

  • Can you please do a video showing some good and healthy vegan meals to eat when doing intermittent fasting for all the vegan peeps watching you:)

  • I wonder if you could say sth about how to decide how much and how often you should eat on IF especially when starting. I assume later it must be easier to feel how much you should eat during eating window for your needs but it’s hard in the begining. I especially want to know if I should wait with the next meal until I’m very hungry or rather eat often and less. You talk much about eating a lot and enough during eating window, but not about spreading the meals. �� I subscribed recently, great content, thank you for all the info. ��

  • Good info as always. My eating window is 8am-4 because I have to have my morning coffee w creamer. So that’s breaks my fast but more importantly I cut out my worst habit of night time snacking/drinking. I have to make myself eat b4 4pm so I don’t get hungry before bed. Works for me!

  • The old adage absolutely has lot of value.
    I am a diabetic & have decided to not take in any medications from any of my metabolic syndromes; and over the last 6 mos. I am on my way.
    I eat my light breakfast @ 8-9 am after I work out (2 miles walk + 3 rounds of 50m dash).
    My next & only other time to eat is between 12-1 pm a large lunch;
    I follow a low carb diet. & I fast Mondays & Thursdays (water, black coffee, green tea) ending in the evening with 2 cups of chicken broth.
    My A1C is 4.9 now from 7.5; my blood sugar has never been over 105 (even after my big lunch) I dropped 35 lbs (I was not too overwight to start with) & I feel fantastic. Actually my highest blood glucose reading is usually in the morning after I wake up!! It is higher if I eat dinner.
    Once in about 2 mos, I do an extended 3+ day fasting to induce autophagy.

  • I eat 1 meal a day since 88. An army thing. I am just not hungry. I eat 1 meal a day, at night. I was 186 in 1986. Last 50 year old physical last week, blood work, BP, all great. On ocassion I snack here and there and very rarely will eat a lunch or breakfast. Basically cigs, coffee, and one large plate at night. I feel sorry for people that have to eat all day long amd whine like an infant if they cannot eat now. Like I heard Autumn stated before about having an efficient metabolism. Of course, am an ectomorph and was a runner but this type of fasting, reduced diet, or whatever you call it, which isnt healthy at all, works for me.

  • I started doing this 15 days ago. I was 86 kg and now i m 79. I never felt this much fit and energetic in my life. Breakfast is the biggest lie with religion in history.

  • That’s either a reflection of Autumn in the background, or there’s a really snarky ghost living there who mimics and mocks Autumn’s every move.

  • Autumn, so do are start counting my “time” after I’ve finished my last meal? I finished my dinner at 6 so do I start counting my fasting time from there? Example, I calculate 16 hours and that’s when I eat again. So I’m breaking my fast at around 11am. Am I doing it correctly?

  • It really works, skip dinner. In my case I just needed to make sure to eat quality food and lots of veggies because I was getting sleepy after lunch

  • Hello, I have another question. Is it ok if i change my eating window period.. always. because usually when i work (mon-fri), i have to eat lunch around 12.30-2 pm.. because everyone’s eating that time. so i will eat until 1pm-6pm like that but on saturdays sundays i usually prefer to have dinner so i will start to eat at 5 6 or 7 and stop eating around 10 11 or 12am. Is that ok for our body?

  • hey autumn! I love your channel and trust your information because I have noticed results. Would you mind doing a what I eat in a day vegan? I am vegan and I work as best i can with your tips but id love the inspo! <3

  • I work second shift generally…. Anywhere from 2pm to 8pm on most days. Makes it a real bummer to take meals with me to work (I do sales) because I have to eat out of containers with no microwave or anything. One reason why I’d rather skip dinner and eat breakfast but that’s just my particular schedule….

  • I find eating an early high fat breakfast like BP coffee and eggs, then a large evening meal around 6 (or later if after a workout) of clean meat and lots of veggies works well for me.

  • Excellent video content! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried Dinanlinson Amazing Look Approach (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one off product for learning how to quickly lose weight minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got great results with it.

  • i completely agree with you, skipping breakfast is the wrongest thing i can do because and i’m really bad all day long, while i naturally can skip dinner without any trouble

  • Why skip a meal at all? As long as the fasting period is correct you can have three meals in your eating period, keto shouldn’t be a starvation diet.

  • I don’t think your experiment is valid. People always lose more the first week. I suggest waiting a few weeks or months before comparing breakfast and dinner fasting.

  • I also would like to add, it is more about the time I am not eating. My blood sugar drops at 12 hours fasted and goes down from there.

  • Isn’t the definition of the word breakfast “breaking your fast”? Intermittent fasting is like you said, not skipping a meal but lengthening the time of the fast…so, you technically are eating a breakfast. ��

  • I started doing intermittent fasting every day in 2018, during the first 2 months I saw absolutely amazing progress, though I didn’t have a diet that supported the lifestyle, I still ate whatever garbage I wanted, I ended up with Gallstones because of this combo, and now after the operation I’m looking to start again… is intermittent fasting adviceable to people who have lost their gallbladder?

  • This old information. There are new studies that show that fat burning and hormones regulation is better eating early in the day. You should probably include an update for this as it is bad info. I avoided a morning eating window because of info like this but you HAVE TO TRY it. You are so much less hungry and are way more satisfied

  • Oh, this is called sincronicity. A few months ago I red Common Sense Keto blog where he states the same. First I thought:blasfemy! Then I watched some of your videos and just started eating breakfast. What a change!!! My gran always said: eat your breakfast alone, share your lunch with a friend, dinner give it to your enemy. The women was slim all her life. And Ginger the makeup ❤️❤️❤️. Hate my stupid hooded eyes, I live my winged eyeliner through you

  • Great info to have. Can I ask a question, with your 90 second keto bread. would you class one slice of what you make as cut in half or the whole lot because calorie wise my fitness pal is saying a slice of keto bread is only 49 calories yet it seems a lot more calories go into making it than that

  • Started doing this naturally as I found I was more hungry in the morning than in the evening and it was torturous waiting until lunch to break my fast! Switched to eating breakfast and lunch and skipping supper most days and felt much better.

  • Second day was a success! Went off without a hitch! It’s actually easier than I thought it would be to cut out dinner. Thank you for this information! Was stalled for months. I have lost a kilo in two days.

  • ” I can’t sleep if I’m hungry” totally agree. What’s more I think after dinner blood flows to the Timmy and makes us more sleepy, providing better sleep

  • dipends on What time you wake up In the morning.
    Let’s say 8.00 in the
    Morning all you need
    Is 1 cappuccino and
    1 piece of cake. Antil
    12.30 then a light snack
    At 5.00. Four dinner
    Don’t esegerat to much.
    PS I did this almost all
    My life. skipping four
    Me during the day is
    Never a good idea!!!����

  • Skipping Breakfast is the Worse Mistake of Advice | Step…… Proponents of Intermittent fasting had made…it is Colossal Mistake they must Accept as a their failure to see things through….Skipping Dinner is the Ultimate Easy & Convenient way for the Body to Settle into Fasting……

  • Hi Christina:) I looove your progress and thank you so much for the information you giving us with each video. I’ve started Keto few days ago, my fast is from 5pm till 11am, what is your advise is this good?
    Also during fasting the only thing I drink is water and black coffee (just black, without anything in it) is it ok?
    As I am a smoker and need to drink something else than water (don’t like tea at all, unfortunately)
    Thank you so very much in advance

  • Watched a few if your videos. You need to read “The Obesity Code” by Dr. Jason Fung. He clearly explains metabolic changes when losing or gaining weight. His knowledge on the effects of insulin are second to none.

  • Skipping dinner fits better in my life style. Doing intermittend fasting with skipping breakfast and eating an epic dinner leads to bad sleep for me because of my full stomach and urinating at night. Skipping dinner make also makes me more free of stress because I can come home late after sport or meeting friends and don’t have to cook and eat for hours before going to bed, especially when you have to get up early. I like to get my shit done early as possible in the day, this includes eating.

  • Interesting as to timing versus quantity. One of the things I love about Keto (2 yrs) is not obsessing about food or dieting. I understand the weight loss phase however many of us follow this WOE for it’s health impact. I just returned from Ireland where For 2 weeks I ate brown bread, soup, fish & chips plus drank cider or beer every day and lost 5 lbs. I’ve attributed it to the chemistry set in our food in the US or after Keto for so long I needed a carb reload?

  • Christine, be careful with this advice and stress that this should not be for people who are just starting keto. Most keto doctors do not state to go to IF immediately, but to ease into it. There are people in your comments section who are just a few days into keto and are fasting for 19 hours! I mean their bodies aren’t even fat adapted yet. That’s ridiculous. Anyway I hope you will clarify this for people who are new to keto. It’s meant to be a healthy way of life, not a quick fix speeded up, starvation, weight loss programme. Thanks.

  • I’ve lost 10kg in around a couple of months with ETRF. I think it’s mainly due to lower calorie intake. You do get hungry at dinner time, but you learn to control it. It’s not hard and knowing that you can have a big breakfast in the morning gives you something to look forward to. Also, hunger at dinner time seems to be due in part to habit anyway. I can be hungry at dinner time but then the hunger goes by bedtime and I don’t feel any hungrier in the morning. The hunger at dinner time also seems to be diminishing over time.

    This is also the easiest “diet” I have ever tried. I feel no inclination to stop it. In the past I have tried low-carb type diets but cravings for carbs have always derailed the attempt. It’s also easy in that there is no calorie counting or meal planning or anything else. There’s no need for a “diet book”. Just don’t eat dinner. That’s it. There is no effort involved.

    You do have to eat less for it to work though. In fact, my weight-loss once plateaued until I started cutting out unnecessary calories during breakfast and lunch. You can’t do something like 16:8 IF from 10am to 6pm (which is really just having a late breakfast) and keep eating the same number of calories and expect to lose much (if any) weight.

    I feel so much better too. Although, I don’t know if it’s just due to the weightloss or whether the fasting has anything to do with it. I’ve always known that I sleep better and wake up more refreshed if I don’t eat dinner which was one of the reason I wanted to try ETRF. Haven’t had any bloodwork or anything, but blood pressure has dropped from a high of 170/113 (Nov 13 2019) to a low of 113/74 (Feb 7 2020).

  • Keto christinais the best keto focus channel for weightless and general health. I actually created my own channel called 247snakediet to show even more fasting lifestyle information and techniques. Come check it out and I will always follow back.

  • Agreed. No matter what diet you follow, you will loose weight by skipping dinner. It frees the body from digesting food to cleansing and healing the tissues instead. I love it! ��

  • I noticed the same thing. I only started on Keto but two days ago I skipped dinner because I wasn’t hungry and I lost 1lbs by the next day. I did notice though that I was ravenous the next day, I felt hungry all the time although by dinner time it had calmed down a bit. Do you have any tips for that?

  • Thanks for this! It can be confusing.
    My husband and I both started IF and we are LOVING IT. I use your coffee recipes and I’m going to try the pumpkin spice one right now!

    Where is your pretty kitchen background?? I’m really distracted by the clutter in the back ��

  • Great advice. I’m 71 and doing keto just over a year with great success. I however, have plateaued, and have about 10-15 lbs to reach my ‘ideal’ weight. So far lost about 23 lbs. Spent 3 weeks in London in May, and although I strayed some, actually lost 4lbs…did a lot of walking though. I will try skipping dinner for a week. I think it’s about not keeping your body in the same routine as much as anything else. You are looking great!

  • Hi im really dissapointed:(
    I started intermittant fasting 16/8…which was great lots of energy no cravings..but no weight lost:(
    Tried keto still nothing…
    What am i doing wrong?
    I went off the wagon..now back on I.F.
    I dont know when im really hungry and once i start eating i cant stop:(
    I need help…hihi
    Thnks

  • I know this definitely does work because when I can do it it makes a big difference the next day I always seem to lose a pound but the problem is I get so hungry at night what’s the best time to eat breakfast and lunch

  • If my goal is weight loss, is there a minimum number of fasting hours that one must do for the benefit (i.e. 16) or does every little bit help? In other words, is fasting for 12 hours better than 8, and 14 is better than 12? Or is there really no weight loss benefit until you’re hitting a higher number like 16? I have trouble going beyond 12, I get really emotional.

  • Great information and thanks for sharing your personal experience!
    Question: Do you perceive a difference in “food craving” or hunger with regard to making the skipped meal later (dinner) as opposed to earlier (morning breakfast)?
    I’m so used to skipping breakfast, eating around 1pm and again at 5 or 6pm that I’m a little worried I will get hungry before bedtime… or worse… wake up in the middle of the night and eat half the refrigerator!! Lol… (but seriously)

  • Thanks for the Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried Dinanlinson Amazing Look Approach (do a search on google)? It is a good one off product for learning how to quickly lose weight without the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my old buddy Taylor after many years got amazing results with it.

  • Skipping dinner is way easier for me. I prefer breakfast foods like eggs oats and avocado. I consume almost 4000 calories between 7 and 3 pm then I have the rest of the day free and can do so much more without having to worry about eating again.

  • Makes sense…
    Skipping breakfast is easier so maybe that’s what I hoped would work but didn’t.
    I am going to try this as I also heard
    It helps with depression, hormones
    And mood stability.

  • Thanks so much. I eat breakfast and lunch, it’s what my body seems to want to do. My weight loss had slowed but I suspect I add too much fat. I saw your other video where you said to reduce it gradually so I’m trying that. Thanks for all your helpful advice.

  • I’ve tried normal skipping breakfast schedule TRE when I was younger in high school I always gained weight eating even 3-4 hour or one hour before bed I think ETRE is better you metabolize and digestive optimally at that time god bless!!

  • I remember when all the fancy folks (models, actresses and such) used to say they never ate anything in the evening (everything old is new again I guess)

  • I have my BREAK-FAST @ 2:PM AND LUNCH @ 6:PM
    I’M NOT GOING TO BED WITHOUT
    FOOD, AND 2 CUPS OF COFFEE GETS ME TO 2:PM NO PROBLEM
    197-LBS IN MAY, I’M 175-LBS NOW, THUMBS UP TO ME!!!
    oh yeah I’m 5’6″ tall and 62 years old

  • When i do eat one meal a day i eat around 10am to 11:30am, seems to work for me but i notice i dnt sleep much, but im not tired so maybe i dnt need the sleep.

  • When doing IF, is there more benefit by skipping dinner vs skipping breakfast due to physiological differences during diff times of the day?

  • How many days a week do you fast? I’m pretty confused? I started 3 days of 8hrs then a day with 24hr fast in same week didn’t feel hungry at all. Is this correct?����

  • Skipping breakfast is much easier to me as I am not hungry in the morning and can go easily with coffee or tea. By the other hand, it is more difficult for me to sleep having no food two hours before going to bed. So, going without solid breakfast is fine to me

  • Been trying IF 8/16 and it’s a struggle waiting till noon for my 1st cup of fat coffee for breakfast. Going back to fat coffee at my normal time maybe the weight loss will resume. Been stuck for 3 weeks

  • Vid request: could you make a video on hormonal changes and best ways to supplement walking and if to balance your hormones and lower cortisol?

    P.s your posture is amazing any tips?! Love the vids

  • Depends what time you wake up and if you work a demanding job. If you wake up at 6:00 or 7:00 and are working a job. By 10:00 I’m usually starving, especially when I’m in a caloric deficit.

  • I think it depends on everyone person’s lifestyle. I skip dinner. Waking up and having to wait until lunch time for my first meal makes me crave all kinds of bad things. So when lunch time comes I eat like a monster lol. Skipping dinner it’s SO EASY for me! I’ve always have had dinner time as that time where I don’t know what to eat or what to prepare, because I’ve always have had big lunches, at dinner time I just want something small or nothing at all. Breakfast + lunch and no dinner. Some days it might be difficult if I want to eat out with friends or family, so I try to arrange more lunches out rather than dinners 😉

  • Hi.. thank you for your time and great insight.. i am certainly going to try it.. this is what i really needed to hear.. much appreciated.. lotsa love from Johannesburg South Africa xxx

  • I use to eat breakfast but found it made me more hungry and gave me a blood sugar dip in the day, making early TRF really hard. OMAD (around 5.30-7.30) and keeping grain free works best for my energy levels

  • Great video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about Dinanlinson Amazing Look Approach (should be on google have a look)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for learning how to quickly lose weight minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend at last got excellent success with it.

  • Hey hun I’m glad I came across your channel. I also do keto and lost 150 lbs in 18 months. It has been an amazing journey and I have documented everything on my channel. I have just subbed to you and I hope you can do the same back ��������

  • I’m confused! I always learned that the terms for meals was as follows: Breakfast Dinner or Lunch Supper. So in your terms of meals; it’s Breakfast Dinner; that’s all! Right? So you have breakfast in the mornings and skip eating the rest of the day? Correct? And that’s the most effective meal plan for weight loss? Right?

  • I’ve been thinkin about this question cause i fast skippin dinner, i eat breakfast at 6 am and my last meal is at 2 pm. Honestly i dont have anu problem with hunger but my strugle is the interaction with people everybody wants to eat dinner instead of going to eat breakfast

  • Thank you for tips I started for 12 hr fasting now 16 hr. Dropping Weight like crazy feeling Great and better did drop pants size. ������������

  • And his story is impressive, I confess that his explanation has a lot of logic, I even thought it would be extraordinary for his interview with Gamer Noted, after watching the videos he plays, his reflection and something surreal, I learned a lot from both, thank you for sharing your experiences.

  • Should I change to no dinner only after I’ve lost some more weight,or start trying this now? Is this more like a stall breaker for us who’ve not lost as much yet? I do IF & OMAD 23/1 in which I eat about 300pm.Down from #306 to #277 in 3 months. Thanks!

  • You need at least 3 hours to digest your food you should not go to sleep after eating. The only thing beneficial of this video was the referenced studies of skipping breakfast. I’ve been forced to have dinner late and I hate it my stomach does not feel well going to sleep full.

  • What if you’re a frickin Catholic and you go to daily mass and have to receive communion every morning!? (I love you Jesus, but sometimes you’re quite inconvenient. �� ��)

  • I’m older…when I eat dinner I wake up in the night with gallbladder pain…when I skip dinner i sleep better and am active when my gallbladder is processing the food I’m okay. It’s less social but works better

  • The old adage eat breakfast like a queen (actually king so sexist, lol), lunch like a prince(ss) and dinner like a pauper 😉 makes more and more sense, right? OH, lol typed that before I watched to the end, looks like you did share that!!

  • Appreciate Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried Dinanlinson Amazing Look Approach (google it)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for learning how to quickly lose weight minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cooworker finally got great success with it.

  • Good morning Autumn. ☀️ I started my weightloss journey with IF. It was a great way to start losing weight without feeling like I was dieting. I no longer do it on a regular basis but will do it on my off the gym days if I can. Almost a year later I’m just ten pounds from my goal. Thanks for sharing!!

  • Skipping breakfast seems more convenient, but when you eat a lot of food late afternoon doesn’t digestion interfere with sleep? having the body process all that food when is supposed to be resting. Even if you leave 4 hrs between your last meal and going to sleep, is the body really done processing food within 4 hrs?

  • Hi Autumn! I’m wondering if I skip breakfast because I don’t feel hungry and then eat a normal lunch and dinner (meaning that I don’t eat more) is it healthy? I don’t feel hungry for the first 4 hours after I wake up

  • I’ve tried skipping breakfast and I do lose weight but my body doesn’t agree with it so I’m going to try to skip dinner….also I feel that it’ll prevent me from binge eating

  • Can I skip lunch? Because Its soooo much easier for me to forget about lunch because I am at work! And i can forget about the annoyance of meal prepping for work!

  • I am trying to alternate, sometimes skip dinner sometimes breakfast.
    I have small kids and I try and get them to eat in the morning since that is good for them and I usually have some eggs and toast with them, so I try and eat breakfast most mornings, maybe once or twice a week I can skip. I can maybe skip dinner twice a week too and that would be ok for me.
    I lift 3 times a week and am already somewhat lean and on a bulk, so just trying to keep from getting too fat in the process, I think this will work for me in the time being.

  • Thousands of years of human experience and intuition tells us: GET UP EARLY! Eat a healthy breakfast AFTER your workout when hungry, eat a healthy, rich lunch when hungry and have a small snack or just tea as your dinner before 5 or 6 pm the latest. Ancient wisdom!

  • I know skipping a meal especially dinner but trust me is not easy for someone like me who does nights,I do 4 nights a week and at the middle of the night that is when I get so tired and feel like I want to eat something….!! If you do nights please comment so I know how you do it…..God bless you ����

  • Most people should be able to skip a meal and not be hungry. If you’re the type who can’t miss a meal or has to eat by a certain time without getting lightheaded or ravenously hungry, you’re most likely burning sugar all day instead of fat.

    If you can’t skip a meal without getting hungry…. your goal should be to eat mostly organic vegetables for your carbohydrates with organic meats, chicken, fish and eggs for your proteins and fats. Snack on nuts, seeds and some fruits. By eating this way your blood sugar will be more stable. You will keep insulin under control, you won’t be overly hungry if you miss a meal and your body will be programmed to burn fat as a fuel when ever possible.

  • When my children were little, I would give them oatmeal in the evening so they can sleep through the night. In regards to weight loss, I started eating a healthy & filling breakfast and lunch but only had Cream of Wheat or a little oatmeal for dinner (at 4:00 p.m) and didn’t eat anything till the next morning. I won my workplace weight loss challenge.

  • the reason why i’m much more comfortable skipping dinner is that your body, when resting, like to consume more energy from triglyceride sources(fatty foods) than carbohydrate sources and to think that the amount of energy from fat is higher(9 kcal) than carbohydrates(4 kcal), so how i think about it, you’re not really using up a lot of energy when resting. However, skipping breakfast would mean that i would have to move my workout times a lil later during the day because i never start a workout without a carbohydrate-rich meal because muscles prefer using up energy from carbohydrates

  • Thank you! Makes sense and liked the RCT’s. A few questions.

    1. Can this effect later stages of sleep through drop in blood sugar secreting cortisol?

    2. Best to go off a few days a week so BMR is not negatively affected?

    3. What do you feel will be the effect on HRV

  • Nice Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried Dinanlinson Amazing Look Approach (probably on Google)? It is a great exclusive guide for learning how to quickly lose weight without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate finally got astronomical success with it.

  • i work out in the morning on an empty stomach and then I eat breakfast and lunch, and don’t eat again until breakfast. I’m kinda hungry before bed, but not really hungry when i wake up and work out. I only do this because i work 12hour shifts. otherwise i’d skip breakfast

  • Appreciate Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard about Dinanlinson Amazing Look Approach (just google it)? It is an awesome exclusive product for learning how to quickly lose weight minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my cooworker got excellent success with it.

  • I wanna do intermitent fasrting to detoxify my body and heal my acne, but I am very very skinny, I don’t wanna lose weight. Is it save for me to do that?

  • I skip dinner 6 days a week and it works much better for me. Since I barley start to get hungry the hour before I go to sleep for the majority of my fast I’m not aware of it. I think it also depends on when you work out. Your meals should be before and after your work out. If you work out in the evening then skipping breakfast would work better.

  • Dinner sucks anyway. Heart burn, nausea, brainfog, going cross-eyed, being extremely fatigued… That is what I’ve been struggling with after dinner for at least a year. I decided to just not eat dinner anymore, fuck it. I can’t eat tons of stuff already so I give up. I also take Creon now, a pancreatic enzyme, perscription. It helps a bit but just 5 measly French fries will make me drop dead with fatigue. I eat some loose foods now, like fruit and vegetables, RAW. Fuck cooking.

  • Thank you for this!!! I’ve just barely started Keto and I’ve been doing the fasting by skipping breakfast and it’s rough!! I feel like skipping dinner would be easier because I’m somewhat satisfied earlier in the day.

    Thank you!!

  • Thanks for this. I was doing keto for a year and fell off big time��
    Time to start again. I’ve always skipped breakfast before. Im going to ease into skippibg dinner.

  • I drive a Semi for a living. I fast all day and eat at night best, thing is 5hour energy half a shot in the morning half a shot in the evening you can easily last to 7pm with no food and I agree with greg that energy and focus spikes when ur fasting I pull a 53 ft flatbed securing and tarping loads is a lot easier at a fasted state then with food in my stomach but u gotta get used to it then u will reap the benefits of fasting.

  • Hi Autumn, love the videos. There was an article published this week in the journal Obesity related to intermittent fasting and decreased hunger in case you haven’t seen it. Small sample size but it’s good to see more studies: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/oby.22518

  • Iam loosing my chest and belly fat after escaping dinner replcing with a glass of milk…at early morning i drink warm water mixture of lemo Honey and rock salt…

  • Late night eating is a killer for sure when a person trying to manage weight. This made sense. BreakFAST is the meal after the all night fast when your body need a metabolism pickup.

  • Hi Christina, thank you so much for the informative videos you do for us, I am a total beginner and would love to see a video on how to track our calories intake! I down loaded an app called carb manager but have no idea how to use it, I am what people would call technology challenged, if you could do a video on how you track your calories over a few days just to give me some idea how meals will change and some will the calorie intake for each meal….. I would be so grateful to see that video on YouTube please.
    Thank you ��

  • Wow. This is great info. Eating with my family really affects the time at which I eat. I am definitely going to try adjusting my eating window timing according to the science facts you presented. Thanks for sharing.
