starvation diets suck

Your body is a storage system and is well equipped to starvation conditions.

When you haven't eaten for 8-10 hours your body will release cortisol to burn your muscle for energy and will go into fat storage mode to preserve energy

Hence, starvation is NEVER effective for fat loss

Exactly

Starving yourself isn't going to work!

Yup, this is why breakfast is very important. Your body needs energy from food RIGHT AWAY.

Cortisol levels are all time high in the mornin and then taper down at night.

Cortisol levels can be lowered by insulin. So that's why in the morning they say eat more carbs then at night

So skipping breakfast is basically telling your body "go on, eat my muscles" ....lol

Didn't it take like 6 hrs to digest the food you ate? I don't want to burn my muscle cell.
