Why I'm Skipping DINNER For 30 Days.

The self-experimentation phase has officially begun, and I’m starting with skipping dinner.

The goal is to take advantage of time-restricted eating while preserving optimal metabolic signaling (which gets DESTROYED when you skip breakfast).

I typically do some sort of loose “cut phase” after the holidays and an earlier eating window is always a priority, so this time around I’ll be monitoring metrics more intentionally.

Skipping breakfast became highly popularized with the intermittent fasting trend over the last decade, but recent analyses have shown skipping breakfast long-term is associated weight gain and obesity.

I’ve personally spoken to and worked with a handful of men who got into fasting because it helped them lose weight, but eventually their progress stalled out and left them skinny fat.

So why would skipping dinner be any better?
