Skipping breakfast may help you lose weight, what hunter gatherers can teach us

I drink a low calorie green shake in the morning. It’s water, kale, spinach, and a bit of ginger. Sometimes I’ll add a banana.

I drink it for a cognitive boost but it can also help me reduce my caloric intake for the day. I find that cognitive performance declines after my next meal, but maybe that’s something specific to me.

I will engage in intermittent fasting every so often and drinking tons of water helps satisfy my hunger. I don’t recall my stomach growling when it’s full of liquid either.

Probably what hunter gatherers teach us is not to skip breakfast but not to rely on heavily processed carbs and sugars for our nutrition, i take a protein shake and ezekiel bread with PB every morning and have no weight problems at all.

And stomach growls all the time till lunch time in office, embarrassing.

When you feel like it's about to growl, just push out your stomach (like you're trying to look fat) really hard, it's not noticeable and cancels or lessens the sound of the growl. Learned that in high school.

I press using one hand and massage. It helps. A lot.

Only for a week or so, you soon acclimatise.
