I have found that I need to skip breakfast (especially on FDs) and once I was in the habit of it, I would extend my fast to skip breakfast the next day and break the fast at lunch or dinner time.

My best tricks for sticking with it, have an 8oz glass of water first thing in the morning. Then a cup of tea or black coffee. (any milk in my coffee – which I did love) wakes up some kind of dragon that can’t wait for lunch. I also found a love for just a shot of espresso which gives me a different kind of boost vs black cup of coffee.

It takes practice and if I’m making breakfast for my SO and not eating, but feel like I do want something (cold mornings can be challenging) then I will heat up a cup of broth and that can be quite helpful and tasty.

Hope those tips help.

For me I’m much better off with a hearty breakfast which greatly curbs my hunger throughout the day. My breakfast is typically unsweetened oatmeal, a good amount of fruit and nuts. If I eat a more typical sweet/desert style breakfast then I’m hungry and stacking.

For most people it is better to eat heavier earlier in the day because the body is more responsive when it is rested. The liver has more room to store sugars and often insulin response is better than when a heavy meal is eaten late in the day.

I’m from the USA any many typical US breakfast foods are really deserts. Eating desert for breakfast is a bad idea and in that case it probably better off skipping it.
