That's the main thing.  I've read different things about skipping breakfast from there being a higher correlation with metabolic dysfunction in those who (can) do it (includes me), which I don't think is exactly true. But even if it were, if you are listening to your body, you are healing it by extended fasting anyway, right? So I think it's the body's message to us if there is a metabolic dysfunction rather than something that causes it.My 81yo father has been a breakfast skipper (if you don't count coffee and cigarettes) for a great part of his life. At the moment he only eats one proper meal a day, somewhere around lunch time, and that's because he's listening to his body. He doesn't have diabetes. He does have a few other health issues but still seems pretty spritely to me that I would safely copy (some of) his lifestyle if it got him to the 80s.</blockquote>
