Skipping Breakfast While Fasting? Your Gut May Be Secretly Crying for Help
Jul 19, 2025 5:06 am
Dear ,
Have you ever skipped your morning meal while fasting… only to feel “off” the whole day?
You’re not alone, , here’s the truth no one’s telling you:
Your gut and brain are in constant, delicate conversation.
And the very first “good morning” signal they expect… is nourishment. Not just for energy, but to balance the gut-brain axis, keep inflammation in check, and protect the natural rhythm of your hormones.
When you delay this signal too long (especially with inconsistent or stress-fueled fasting), your gut microbiome feels the hit.
You may feel more bloated, anxious, foggy, or sluggish— even if your last meal was “clean.”
The root problem?
Skipping that early meal can trigger a stress response in your gut lining, lowering digestive enzymes, slowing bowel movement, and even dysregulating your blood sugar for the rest of the day.
Here’s One Thing You Can Do Today:
Break your fast mindfully—with a gut-loving meal:
• 1 glass vegetable juice / warm moong dal soup
• 5 soaked almonds
• 1 apple with dash of cinnamon + 1 tbsp soaked seeds
These foods don’t “break” your fast—they build your gut’s foundation for the day.
Here are my 3 Golden Tips:
1. Delay fasting till your gut is healed especially if you experience IBS, body pain, or mood swings.
2. Start your day with light nourishment even if it’s a small cup of warm turmeric ginger tea or tulsi ginger tea + a fruit paired with soaked nuts / seeds.
3. Listen to your body, not trends. Your gut’s wisdom > Instagram.
, skipping your morning meal in the name of fasting might feel trendy…
But healing isn’t about fitting into a trend—it’s about trusting your biology.
