Why I Skip Breakfast and Embrace Low-Carb Mornings

 # Why I Skip Breakfast and Embrace Low-Carb Mornings

I used to believe that breakfast was the most important meal of the day.  

But over time, I discovered that **not eating in the morning actually gives me more** — more focus, more energy, and better health.

## 🌄 Fasting in the Morning

I follow a simple intermittent fasting habit.  

No breakfast. Just water or warm tea until noon.  

It helps regulate my blood sugar and keeps my mind sharp during the busiest hours of the day.

No more food-induced drowsiness or sugar crashes.

## 🥦 Low-Carb, High Focus Meals

When I do eat, I go for **low-carb meals**:  

- Stir-fried vegetables  

- A small portion of protein (like eggs or tofu)  

- Kimchi or other fermented foods for gut health  

🍳 I avoid refined carbs and sugar, even in snacks or drinks.

I’ve found that **eating too many carbs in the morning** causes brain fog and slows me down.

## 🚫 What I Don’t Eat Anymore

- Sugary breakfast cereals  

- Toast, bagels, or sweetened coffee  

- Even fruits in the morning are too much for me

I also avoid **raw vegetables** unless they’re fermented or cooked.  

Some raw greens contain natural toxins, so I prefer stir-fried veggies or kimchi instead.

## 🧘‍♂️ Morning Stillness Over Stimulus

I also avoid scrolling on social media first thing.  

No news, no feeds.  

Just quiet. Maybe a journal or soft music.  

It’s amazing how **less input creates more clarity**.

## 💬 Final Thought

Skipping breakfast isn’t about restriction.  

It’s about creating a morning routine that supports **my body and my mind**.

Fuel doesn’t always come from food.  

Sometimes, it comes from stillness, intention, and the right kind of nourishment.
