I hope you caught my sarcastic drift. I simply quoted the good professor, and keeping his statement in quotation marks was a (not so subtle) hint at my not buying into it.
But the pro-breakfast camp has some point after all. That point being the diurnal pattern of our ability to metabolize dietary glucose. The area under the glucose excursion curve (AUC) is smaller at breakfast than at lunch (given the same glucose load). Also, having had breakfast keeps the post-lunch AUC smaller than when having skipped breakfast. These observations indicate that, relative to having had breakfast, skipping it negatively affects insulin sensitivity. That is an issue in the scenario of insulin resistance and frank diabetes. It is probably not an issue for a metabolically uncompromised individual, such as yourself. I say probably, because I have made some isolated case observations where sugar loading post-breakfast triggered some minor but measureable degree of endothelial functional decline.
But these are individual cases, which remind us of the importance of not just translating group-based observations (from RCTs) to a given individual.
If you don't take breakfast, you are in very good company: my friend and research partner, a very health-conscious sports cardiologist, has lunch as his first meal. And he is doing very fine.
