Skipping breakfast is a priority for many people who are trying to lose fat from their abdomen. Skipping meals in an attempt to get ripped abs is not going to work. You need to put food into your body as soon as you wake up if you want your body to burn fat.
To see your abs, your body depends on your metabolic rate being as fast as possible. When you start skipping meals (especially breakfast), your metabolism slows down. Not only will it slow down, but your body will start storing fat because you’re not eating enough for it to survive.
As your body stores fat, it will start to feed on your muscles so your body burns fewer calories while you starve yourself. So this means it will make your abs less visible instead of creating a washboard flat stomach.
To jump-start your metabolic rate, you should eat breakfast within an hour of waking up. Your muscles need this fuel so they don’t start to burn out and cause your metabolic rate to drop.
Avoiding food is the quickest way to reverse any progress you’ve made in your quest for a perfect set of abs. You should eat right after you get up in the morning, and then you should eat another 5 small meals throughout the day so that your metabolism stays fast and your body doesn’t start storing fat.
When you go too long without eating, your body will go into starvation mode and then store all the calories you’re eating as fat.
