Dr Michael Mosley explains skipping breakfast or eating it later isn't unhealthy
We've all heard the advice from health professionals and nutritionists that breakfast is the most important meal of the day - it's something we're told from a young age.
It can be hard to try and fit in having breakfast in the morning rush, whether you're running out the door on the school run, leaving for a meeting or you just aren't hungry - we've been told we should never skip it out. However, renowned TV doctor Michael Mosley - who is known for creating the Fast 800 diet and popularising the 5:2 diet - has gone against this advice and has now claimed that skipping breakfast or just eating it later isn't actually as bad for you as you may think.
Good news for the morning commuters who can pack their breakfast into their bags and eat it on the go, Dr Michael Mosley has shared on his Instagram page that it isn't bad to skip it or save it. He wrote: "As it's getting more autumnal a warm breakfast can be a great way to start the day.
"Often described as the most important meal of the day there are no hard and fast rules as to when you should eat breakfast. If you prefer to skip it or eat it later that's fine; and by doing so you are extending your overnight fast - an effective form of intermittent fasting called TRE."
TRE stands for 'Time Restricted Eating' and it's a type of fasting where you only eat food in a certain window of the day. It can range between six to twelve hours a day and varies according to the person's lifestyle and preferences. It's been said to be a good way to 'turbo-charge' weight loss, and it doesn't matter too much what you eat - just when you decide to eat it.

So whether you like a slice of toast and jam, a bacon roll or some yoghurt and granola - keeping it for later might not actually be all too bad to do.
