170. Why Skipping Breakfast Is Keeping You Stuck

You probably think skipping breakfast is helping you save calories or “be disciplined,” but the truth is… It’s keeping you stuck in the exact same cycle you’ve been trying to break free from. In this episode, I get real with you about why intermittent fasting is glamorized in diet culture and why it backfires for women—especially women of color who are balancing demanding jobs, family, and cultural food traditions. Here’s what we cover: -How fasting triggers the restrict–overeat cycle -Why skipping meals disconnects you from hunger cues -The stress response that keeps your body from losing weight If you’ve been fasting, restarting, and wondering why the scale won’t budge, this conversation is going to show you why it’s not working and what to do instead.
