I’ve found that I’m actually less hungry throughout the day, if I skip breakfast. So, even when I then have lunch, I’m satiated much quicker.
My working theory is that my stomach shrinks when empty, in particular throughout the night. So, if I don’t shove down breakfast in the morning:
My stomach can shrink even smaller until lunch.
There is less empty space in the non-stretched stomach, so less hunger.
When I do eat lunch, the smaller stomach fills up quicker, meaning I shove down less food for lunch, too, and therefore my stomach doesn’t get particularly stretched until dinner either.
i think that actually it’s not so much about physiological changes happening to your body when you don’t eat; it’s more about signaling
your body is put into this “efficiency” mode when you skip breakfast. it means, you should get up and gather for food, instead of having it already provided. so your body uses food more efficiently.
