When it comes to food and dieting, there are so many different approaches that you can take. It’s not always easy to know which choice is best, which is why it’s good to try different things out to see what works for you. If you’re looking for a new food trend to try, here’s why we recommend occasionally skipping breakfast.

Moderation Is Good

Sometimes it seems as though people view dieting through a very extreme lens. People feel as though they must do all or nothing, leaving not much middle ground in between. Either they’re embarking on a crazy diet for six months straight, or they’re going on a junk food frenzy with no end in sight.

But this isn’t a good approach, because moderation can be a great thing. If you had a food night you’re not proud of, where you ate junk food until 2 AM, you might not feel so great the next morning. This is a great opportunity to simply skip breakfast and let your body recharge itself.

By the way, when we say skipping breakfast, we mean just food. You can still have tea or coffee, ideally without sugar if you’re really trying to optimize your morning fast.
