Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but only if we skip it.

He soon noticed that his glucose levels were unusually high after eating in the morning, but if he fasted until lunchtime they fell. Professor Kealey began to question how much evidence there was to support the advice he'd been given, and whether there might be an advantage to not eating breakfast after all.
