Try it! It was so weird the first time I tried it that I wasn't sure if I liked it. But then I had it again and I was hooked. Don't forget to add salt to the avocados!0 -
Why do you need breakfast?0
-
This is gonna sound non-breakfasty buuuuuut when I was doing keto every morning I ate:
A hard boiled egg (sometimes with the yolk sometimes without), a pack of tuna or salmon, half an avocado, with a little bit of crumbled white cheese (blue cheese, feta, or goat cheese). Sometimes I would put a little muffalatta spread on it.0 -
^^ That sounds nice, especially the muffalatta spread, nut, as @Going_The_Distance said, if you're not truly hungry, why eat?0

@ChoiceNotChance it's really good.0

My hubby and i start the day with a BPC-just 1 tbsp butter and he has 1 tbsp MCT oil-i can't take on empty stomach so i use 1 tbsp coconut oil. We are good to go till lunch time-12.30.0

After adaptation I lost the desire for breakfast. I drink coffee with heavy whipping cream each morning, then have my first food around 2pm.0

I'm just finishing my first week on keto, and I've found that I cannot function at all without some sort of breakfast. I cannot imagine (so far) only eating once a day. Do others just eat late in the evenings so they're not fuzz headed in the morning? Or does your appetite just wane once you've been on keto for awhile?0

Most people report that appetite does wane over time, but the breakfast thing is pretty subjective. Keto doesn't have to be about IF, but the 2 just happen to work well together for a lot of people.
And I think a lot of people counteract morning fuzziness with caffeine

For me, I need to start my day alert, well hydrated, and not hungry for best success. Some days, the not hungry occurs naturally. If so, I just roll with a fast until I am hungry, whenever that is. If I'm hungry, I eat. As long as I ensure it's true hunger and not emotional eating/boredom, etc., I eat. That's what I'm learning to do again - eat when I'm hungry, don't when I'm not.
Well hydrated includes plenty of fluids before bed, and plenty upon rising - as well as the normal throughout the day water. Also, I find that if I'm too low on sodium, I'll get really dehydrated because my body with either dump or retain/stash/store extra water to maintain that balance.
Alert - good night's sleep, good quality sleep, and if necessary, caffeine, B vitamins, D3/K2, etc. If I start the day fully awake and alert, my chances of success in all things food/drink related is significantly increased.
As for intermittent fasting, I've done it sometimes, and yes, it comes with time. Personally, I don't recommend doing it as a regimen until you're adapted a full 12 weeks, and then only if it happens naturally. Drink some water, and if you can continue with out eating, try it. You'll get some amazing bursts of ketone clear energy. But if you're hungry and water doesn't tide you over, eat. Simple as.
For me, eating when you are not hungry and not eating when you are hungry are both disordered eating.... Obviously those apply to true hunger, but our bodies create these signals for a reason. As I said, if the hunger is easily postponed, then it's not a true hunger...0 -

I think there is a lot of wisdom here. Great guidelines for getting stress free about diet.0 -
Oh, and I should note, the D3/K2 is a supplement I take every single day. Just it's timing changes depending on energy needs.0
