What's up guys!
Carlo Macapinlac here from NewbieFitnessAcademy.com, your go-to fat loss coach for busy professionals
and in this video, I'm gonna answer a very controversial question that I get asked all
the time.
Is skipping breakfast good for losing weight?
Well, after struggling with my diet for years, this is what happened in about 8 weeks after
I started skipping breakfast.
If you stick around until the end of the video, I'm gonna give you the exact step-by-step
blueprint how I did it.

Let's dive in.
Alright.
One of the meals that is the most notorious as being branded as the most important meal
of the day is…you got it!
Breakfast.
I mean, there's no better way to start your day than eating breakfast.
Right?
Right??
Not so much.
You know, a lot people think they can just have a bagel, or a muffin, or a donut, or
eat a bowl of breakfast cereal because it's fast and it's easy.
And that's true.
They can just reach into the kitchen cabinet and just have a bowl of cereal with some skim
milk and they think they're eating healthy.
I mean, that's a pretty typical breakfast for a lot of people in North America.
Right?
That's probably what you ate this morning.
Hey, leave a comment below what you had for breakfast this morning.
I wanna know.
Now, It doesn't help that this is what gets branded as the right thing to do every day
and people just kinda go along with it.
And, so much of it has to do with the breakfast food industry and all these big food corporations
because they have to sell their cereal, or their granola bars so it's a lot easier
for them to say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
And I used to be so guilty of this.
The thought of skipping breakfast never crossed my mind.
I always made sure that I picked up a bagel, or a muffin, or if I was running short on
time, I would just shove as much cereal in my mouth even though I wasn't really hungry.
Cuz that's what we've always been taught, right?
Never start the day on an empty stomach.
It's bad for you.
And, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with eating breakfast, by the way.
Right?
I love breakfast food.
However, there's a huge difference when you eat it and an even bigger difference between
eating bacon and eggs versus a bowl of frosted flakes or a granola bar.
As soon as you eat it, your body responds completely different between the two.
One is made up mostly with saturated fat and protein while the other is mostly refined
carbs and sugar.
Right?
I mean, I don't think anybody in their right mind would think that the body responds to
them the same way.
You know, it just doesn't.
Let me explain in simple terms.
People say that a calorie is a calorie whether it's from fat, carbs, or protein, as if
your body responds to them equally, and that's got to be the dumbest idea ever.
You have these food corporations and even fitness experts that want you to think that
a 500 calorie bowl of frosted flakes, white bread, instant oatmeal, and other refined
carbs is the same as a 500 calorie breakfast of eggs, bacon and avocado.
NO.
Not even close.
And then people say that it's the vitamins.
It's fortified with vitamins and minerals so it's gotta be good for you, right?
It even has that fancy little check mark on the box as if that means that it's automatically
healthy.
Guess what?
It doesn't get a free pass.
Those two things are completely different.
Let's break things down a little further and this might be ground breaking information
for some people.
You see, all foods stimulate the hormone insulin in some way, shape, or form.
Insulin, if you've never heard of it before is a very important hormone in your body.
It's a storage hormone.
It's the hormone that tells people to gain weight.
People hardly ever talk about this because everyone just wants to focus on calories.
The less calories, the better.
Right?
But what you really have to worry about more than counting calories is developing something
called Insulin resistance.
Why is that?
Insulin resistance is one of the big things that controls the insulin response in your
body.
Basically, if you have something called insulin resistance, your body produces more insulin.
It's your body's natural mechanism to overcome this resistance that you've created.
It actually produces more insulin.
And that's bad news.
Why is this important you ask?
It's important, because high insulin is gonna cause you to gain weight.
Even if you think you're eating healthy.
And nobody ever talks about this.
What spikes insulin the most you ask?
Well, it's sugar and refined carbs.
I mention those two things specifically because a lot of the typical food that we eat for
breakfast has either, A) hidden sugars or B) is made out of refined carbs.
Now, the biggest determinant of insulin resistance is how often you eat and the types of foods
that you eat.
The way you reset this is to have periods of time where you allow insulin levels to
be low.
And the only natural way to do this is by simply taking a break from eating.
What?* This is also called time restricted eating or Intermittent Fasting.
The very word breakfast literally means break fast.
It's the meal that breaks your fast.
As you can see, you're already fasting every night.
It's called sleeping.
But it's not enough to lower your insulin levels to the point where you can access your
fat storage and get into weight loss.
It's just not.
Here's how I want you to think about the relationship between eating and fasting.
When you're eating, your insulin levels go up and you're storing energy.
You're in fat storage mode.
Now that's not necessarily a bad thing.
You need to have moments throughout the day where your body can absorb all the nutrients
from all the food that you just ate.
When you're fasting, again you automatically do this when you sleep, your insulin levels
go down and you're taking out that stored energy.
Is it enough to lose weight?
The short answer is no.
So if you keep eating breakfast.
If you keep eating first thing in the morning, then your insulin level goes up and you're
in fat storage mode, the moment you wake up.
Remember, your body can either burn fat or sugar for energy.
But it can't do both.
Now, If you start pushing it the other way by extending your fast and skipping breakfast
and even lunch, then you're gonna start getting into fat loss because you're allowing
your insulin levels to get low enough to the point where you start using body fat as a
source of energy.
And that's what we want.
You see, this is how your body naturally works.
It's what your body is designed to do during periods where food is absent from your stomach.
It starts burning fat.
So is skipping breakfast good for losing weight?
100 percent.
You just have to remember that if you wanna lose weight, it's all about managing your
insulin levels and not necessarily about the calories.
You gotta remember that fasting is about the time that you're not eating.
You're simply taking a break from it to let your body use your own body fat as a source
of energy, by lowering your insulin levels.
It's not a period of starvation and that is such an important concept to wrap your
head around.
Eating 6 small meals a day according to the "experts" is simply not what your body
wants to do because every time you eat, again, your insulin goes up.
So if you eat your 6 small meals a day, you keep telling your body, keep storing fat.
You don't need to burn it.
Look at all this food that's coming in that we can use for energy instead.
You eat, you store fat.
It's as simple as that.
Here's another thought for you.
One of the simplest ways to lose weight for example is to just not eat when you're not
hungry.
You're better off skipping breakfast until you're actually hungry.
I mentioned this earlier how I would just shove food into my mouth even though I had
no appetite in the morning.
It's funny because kids, of all people understand this perfectly.
Notice how kids sometimes aren't hungry when it's breakfast time or dinner time
and they simply won't eat.
But as adults, whether we're hungry or not, we eat at 7am, it's like clock work.
I really hope you're starting to see the big picture now when it comes to eating first
thing in the morning.
Again, It's just been institutionalized that breakfast is the most important meal
of the day and you gotta start the day with a good breakfast so you'll have lots of
energy.
That's what we've been told but the truth is, your body already does that for you.
If you look at what your body does before you wake up, your body actually has a surge
of hormones which pushes glucose out of your system which you can use for energy.
Your body supplies your with energy.
Your body also produces growth hormones and adrenalin to get you primed for the day.
Your body is super smart about making sure that you're good to go from the moment you
wake up.
And this makes sense because back in the paleolithic age, food wasn't always available.
Do you think our ancestors woke up and said, geez better make sure I eat breakfast before
I go hunting for food.
No.
There was no breakfast available.
They simply went out hunting.
So if you're ever worried that your metabolism will somehow slow down if you skip breakfast.
It won't.
Your body is a lot smarter than you think.
Long story short, there's nothing wrong with eating breakfast.
I mean, I love breakfast food.
I really do.
You just don't always need to be married to the idea that you have to eat first thing
in the morning.
Once you start skipping breakfast, you're gonna quickly realize how much more time you'll
have to do more productive things.
The best tip that I can offer once you actually decide to start skipping breakfast is you
gotta stay busy.
You gotta stay productive.
If you don't, you're gonna think that there's something missing from your morning
routine, then you start obsessing over it, next thing you know, you're on your way
to the closest drive thru to get yourself a bagel.
Alright?
So pro tip for you guys, you gotta stay busy.
Next thing you know, it'll already be lunch time and you can finally have your quote unquote
breakfast.
