“skip breakfast”. It’s impossible to skip breakfast because that this the first meal that breaks your fast from the previous day.

As a type ii diabetic I have the “dawn effect” going on. My sugar rises during the night even after not eating after 6:00PM. So when I wake up my sugar is elevated. I take a 30 min walk around 6:00 AM and dont eat till late morning as an early lunch. Sugar drops.

That is interesting. Is it because of glycogen release from the liver that the blood sugar goes up?

There are numerous variables to consider with respect to IF and health.
Sugar consumption. Sugar is BAD
Eating meat is NOT bad
Processed food is BAD; whole foods are much better
Carbohydrates turn to sugar, and should be consumed in moderation.
Fructose is much worse than glucose.
Go to Youtube and look for videos by Dr. Robert Lustig and by Dr. Pradip Jamnadas. The comments under those videos are quite insightful as well.
From what these two doctors have said regarding bad medical advice/guidance from the US Gov’t ….. I am inclined to think Covid response is only the second (or third) worst medical disaster in our history.
We are at epidemic levels of diabetes and heart disease, and it seems to be largely connected to sugar consumption.
