Skipping breakfast has changed the way I eat.
Throughout our lives, we've have been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that not eating it can even make you put on weight.
But some people now argue that the historical link between breakfast and good health is all a myth spun by cereal companies.
There's a lot of buzz around the concept of intermittent fasting at the moment, and there's even growing evidence to suggest there are real health benefits to fasting for both the body and brain.
Many models and celebrities, including Miranda Kerr and Beyonce, reportedly swear by variations of fasting regimens.
There's the 5:2, where you eat what you want for five days of the week but restrict your calorie intake to just 500 a day for two "fasting" days, or the 16:8, which sees you eat within an eight-hour period, then fast for the remaining 16. There's also The 2 Meal Day - which, as the name suggests, requires eating just two meals in a day, and skipping either breakfast or dinner.
I've always struggled to stick to a strict diet. Restricting certain foods just makes me crave them even more, and calorie counting has always bored me.
After becoming intrigued by the concept of fasting and whether factoring it into my regime would suit my lifestyle, I decided to make a small tweak to my daily routine by skipping breakfast for two weeks - but it turned into three.
With some fasting advocates claiming that skipping breakfast can give you more energy, make you eat less, and even lose weight, it seemed worth a shot.
I wasn't strictly sticking to two meals a day and I allowed myself to snack during my non-fasting hours, so, even though I usually eat breakfast every day, it also didn't feel like much of a sacrifice.
