That goes against the relatively common practice of intermittent fasting, with lunch and dinner being within a shorter time window.
Surely you access fat stores better in an aerobic but fasted state, rather than if you had eaten carbs (for example) at breakfast?
Also not sure that eating provides a big boost to your metabolism.
A lot of the ‘eat breakfast to lose weight’ comes from the tendency to make bad food choices because you’re more hungry at lunch, or eat biscuits/snacks at work.
The metabolic boost you get from digesting breakfast would unlikely last all day, and wouldn’t be much different from the same boost from eating lunch.
Acliff-
You start metabolising earlier in the day.
You have boosted youre metabolism by eating/drinking something.
Fasting only really works if youre hungry, surely? Between meals isnt a fast. Sleeping isnt a fast.Regular fasting, in my experience, slows your metabolism. When I lived off bread and doritos for a few months nothing changed. I couldnt afford anything. One loaf per week lol it was terrible. I maintained,terrible food yes but still.
The body stores as much as it can, it doesnt know when it will be refueled. Hence why skipping breakfast makes you less hungry in the morning. Eat early. Force yourself to be hungry at lunch, skip it and youve done a fast.
Carbs and sugar (cereal,breads,fruits) arent a good breakfast really either, but its usually our go to.
The "trick" is to shock your body.
Do the opposite of what you "feel" and re-train youre metabolism.But of course, Im no Dietician and everyones different. :)

Well done!
Theres certainly merit in skipping a meal for quick shedding.
However, maybe skip the lunch and start with a breakfast. It will be more uncomfortable but a huge boost to your metabolism and accessing fat stores.
Now,whats a good breakfast?!
