Should I skip breakfast? 

Thankyou for keeping all of us sane amidst so much of information floating around about health and food.

So clear and concise... Thank you Rujuta. Your talks always reassure me that whatever my parents have taught me as a routine, is not wrong and not meeting the new age trends is okay and better in fact. Stick to basics and try to focus on weight loss through exercise and portion control, rather than intermittent fastings and crash diets

Thank you for starting this series. I have recently been asked to skip dairy and gluten, would like to listen to your perspective on it.

I tried intermittent fasting and it really worked for me. I was always bloated and had so many gut issues. I had pcod and never got my periods on time. I have lost 6 kgs in 3 months and my periods got regular. But i personally believe that different things work for different people. Also, i follow Rujuta for my daily lifestyle and habits. I never stay hungry, i just eat on the right time and it automatically creates a gap of 12-14 hours. I eat my 3 meals and well gapped. I eat everything i have been eating since i was a child. I just feel intermittent fasting (the correct way) is more about eating discipline than forcing yourself to stay hungry.

धन्यवाद दीदी! तू खूप खरे बोलतेस. उपवास करणे आरोग्यास हानिकारक आहे हे सर्वांना ठणकावून सांगितले गेले पाहिजे. The brain can't work in hypoglycemic state. मला तुझे खरे बोलणे खूप आवडते!

I’m so glad you said something about this. Also I think skipping or keeping dinner is right way to do something like IF but because it is inconvenience for people to wake up early and sleep early so they tweak this diet to skip breakfast. Dinner should be light and early. That automatically gives the same benefits as IF

Very useful and a must to see video for young generation especially who is always focusing on weight loss and try to skip their breakfast

So much needed.....A big thank you

Honestly, I followed Rujuta during the beginning of the year when she launched 12 weeks fitness project 2022 and I slowly started losing weight. I was feeling good, used to be energised throughout the day but than sadly I discontinued due to exams. Again after 2 months I began my exercises and started intermittent fasting for 14 hrs everyday during Navratri.. I ended you gaining weight, was feeling hungry throughout the day, apetite also increased, had major acidity issues and my entire body now looks bloated. I didn’t realise where I was going wrong until I saw this video. Intermittent fasting may work for some, but from my own experience I can only say that it just gave me acidity, increased my appetite and made me feel bloated. Thank you Rujuta Mam, you are an eye opener.

Mam main bachpan se morning mein pet bhar kar khati hun and mera weight without dieting and without exercises slim and trim rehta hai but mera kuch good habits hai like early sleep early wake up, eating and drinking water time fixed and my dinner time is fixed at 6pm. These all are my childhood habits

Thank you so much, ma'am. I used to do intermittent fasting in the year 2019. I used to abstain from eating for 18 hours. I just had 6 hours of eating window. In the year 2020, I had stopped it after seeing negative results. Thanks again, ma'am. This video will save many newcomers in this weight loss trap. 🙏

I just love your all guidelines.ma'am .You always promote our tradditional pattern of food, that is the best part.

Luke coutinho says only water is allowed on fasting. Anything else is not fasting since the metabolism has started. My fasting is basically a 12-13 hour fast which Doesn’t mean skipping any meals. It’s just helping me in staying away from any post dinner junk/ snack.

Love the series Rujuta! Love you ❤

Hello Rujuta, at some point, can you also cover the topic of including Omega-3 fatty acids, DHA, EPA in our diet? What are all these and where would we get these nutrients from our tried and tested aaji’s recipes? Like you always say, our grand mom’s never fussed about these nutrients. However, I read that research links these nutrients with better brain/memory health especially as one starts aging. Is that true?

I always follow your advice, worth listening, thanks 👍👍😊

I love the way she explains ❤

Ma’am, you are truly learned and kudos to you letting us know about the actual culture of India! Our culture is healthy, most diversified and Innovative.🎉

Thank you Rutuja mam for promoting what our parents and our culture teaches us always. A big NO to all industries promoting health destortion

Always good advice Rujuta...I dont why people are so fussed about this n that fad diets 🤦‍♀️

Excellent....

Thanks for sharing You are always informative

Woow i love the series which u started thank u mam 😊

I am soooooooo glad you brought up this topic... The entire internet is filled with conflicted views ....

Well said and explained 👏 👍 👌

Thanks a lot for this series 😊

I'm so happy to know this Ma'am! We need more experts like you to not make fad diets popular! I also believe in balanced eating with balanced portions and balanced time gaps. My daughter wanted to desperately try IMF to lose weight but I didn't allow her and helped her learn to inculcate right eating, right portions at the right time and basic exercises. She is losing weight and happy with her results🥰🙏🏼

I think there is no template that works for all. It depends on life style ..personally I have realized that "Do waqt ka khana " 2 meals a day really works ...you can eat as much as you want and Body gets enough time to utilize the food intake ..I have closely observed that even today Tribal and rural communities still follow the same and stay fit and fine ..this is time tested formulae since the dawn of Civilisation

Hi Mam! Can you please talk about Chronic Kidney Disease and the diet to follow please

Yes you are absolutely right...👍👍

In my 20s and 30s I never had breakfast, i used to rush to work and then eat by 1 or 2pm. Of course nobody was selling Intermittent Fasting then, I just ended up doing this. I put on a lot of weight, I used to be tired all the time. Growing older I have taught myself to eat breakfast but more appropriately learnt to listen and respond to hunger pangs and have a balanced diet eating home cooked food that gives me joy. As I fcussed on healthy simple food, I have lost weight felt better. I eat my dinner by 7.30pm. I automatically end up fasting nearly 12 hours though I am not thinking of fasting. In short in my experience of trial and error, finally this is what works for most people. Satiety, fulfillment, not overthinking food and exercising reason ably regularly has meant that I am slimmer and leaner 50 year old than I was a thirty year old. Different strokes for different folks bur fads dont work we all finally cime back to the habits that sustainably work for our bodies

😆😆👍❤️. Start was amazing

Excellent! I am writing this after trying both Dr. Dixit diet and IF

So true, would love to know your views about fasting....

Good morning Mam. Nicely explained. You are the Best Have a nice Day

Great information.

Thanq. v. much Rujuta..... for the awareness

Tho I respect you a lot on your motivation and wellness videos..I have to tell you that I was a chronic diabetic for 15 long years with all medications But IF and a nutritional diet with all the nutrients made me reverse my diabetes and my A1c is below 5 .5 since four years..I have a brunch and a dinner at 6.30 pm..I feel quite energetic for my morning workout and for my evening walk also..FYI I am a senior citizen...so I AM AM ADVOCATE FOR IF....and a nutritional diet

Hi dear. I was just waiting to speak you on this. Thank you

Thanks for this video.

I like ur method, bcoz u tell us to eat our own style of food & to actually eat but in moderation.

I always love watching ur videos.

Hello Ma'am .. Gud Evening Yes Absolutely Right .. I Hv Put Myself On Intermittent Fasting For More Than 2 Weeks Now .. Initially I Was Feeling V Happy n Then Severe Headaches Started Banging My Head Everyday Around 3 - 4 PM n Then I Realized That Its All Bcs Of 16 18 Hrs Of Fasting ... Now M At Ease With Daily Headaches Easing Up With The Passage Of Each Day ... Its Just That We Must Focus On Quality Eating Rather Then Quantity Eating ... There Is No Need To Deprive Urself Of Food Which Is Known As Anna Parmeshwara .. Thank You So Much Ma'am For This Much Required Eye Opener For Many People Like Me 👍🙏🙂💐

Ma’am huge respect for you follow your food advice but I must say for those battling BP weight gain and inflammation IF really helps If a person is disciplined there will be no anger no issues in fact If makes one more active So I guess it’s not applicable to people of a certain age See the dismal state of people’s health in India there is rise in obesity and food related health issues First breakfast is not bad but what we eat White bread Puri masala dosa are a totall no no food So for me Dr Furhman and Dr Gregory’s food choices work but I take so many great food advice from your vlogs Thank you God bless

Rujata ji plz comment on diet for thyroid . Is there need to avoid gluten. Thanks

Truly informative, mam 🙏

Thank you, this was good learning. Though I do know of people who did lose weight with IF - how does that happen versus is that just a temporary phase while the body is adjusting to a new fad??

Each one's body is different, works for some doesn't work for others..bottom line, eat when hungry.

Hi Rujuta Ma'am 😀 You are a wonderful speaker. I do enjoy all the very beneficial knowledge that your share with all of us and end up giggling a lot. 😀

Thank u mam.very useful video.

Well i don't know how far m right!!! IF don't suggest to skip breakfast, it's just take your meal at right time with right amount...m diabetic and i started after reading soo many articles and watching Dr. Jason's videos and all others what I felt for myself that I stopped taking my evening medicine..but i couldn't continue because of some other reasons but it suited me well...I never skipped my breakfast I used to have fruits and dry fruits...healthy fats first in the morning...and then a small bowl of poha/ Dalia/ one besan and oats chilla and stuff like that...but in portion control!! But IF works different for males and females as females requires fats for their hormones smooth working...so females should never go for 16:8 fasting instead of that 13:11 or to the max 14:10 is best but for males 16:8 works wonder...having said all that every body is different and unique...so before doing anything just listen to your body not what everybody around you is saying or doing...

Hamare kathiavad me morning me fresh malai vala dahi bajre ki roti and mirchi achar khake log 90 ,92 ke hote hai and kheto me kam karte hai

Very useful info

My son did intermediate fasting, it helped him in losing weight( fat), it has to be calorie deficit then intermediate fasting really helps. So, I agree to disagree with you.

Thank you..

Hi Rajuta Madam, kindly tell what to do for frizzy, dull n dry hair, my age is 50, n weight is 87 kg.

I follow naturpathy .. it cleanse body mainly includes fasting. Its very helpful.

I love the way you are. Hope you be the same for the next future xx yrs. And i sincerely hope you be true to yourself. No brand preference, no theoretical formulas

U are an inspiration for me

Hello rujuta Madam, thank u for such a informative video.. however, I have a question for u but it is not related to this topic. I am lactose intolerant so I wanted to know what are your thoughts on almond milk and would u recommend any particular brand for it.

Is it useful for good health to take only a big bowlful of fruits as breakfast? Maximum part of it being papaya. ? Pl answer. Regards.

Rujuta … these glasses suits you .. and thanks for sharing good information

I don’t think skipping breakfast is an option if you are listening to your body. Instead eat before sunset and eat nicely during the day. Intermittent fasting bhi ho jayega and digestion and metabolism and sab kuch sahi rahega.

The best ❤❤❤❤🥰🙏🙏

too good rujuta ma'am 🥰

This one cannot agree. Intermittent fasting helps body clean itself

U r right

🙏🙏thank you so much ma'am 💓

She’s so right about skipping breakfast thanks

Hello mam, please make video on insulin resistance, non alcoholic fatty liver and pcod......

I have been following your videos and advice for many years and was comfortable when you were speaking in English.,(since I don’t know Hindi), kindly consider my request to upload in English.

Every individual body is different.. a particular lifestyle/diet might not yield or suit the other. You are your best judge of your body and how you feel after adopting a diet .. the goal is to have a consistency of adopting the changes for a long term .. Personally IM has done wonders for me … also I don’t follow IM every day of the week .. it’s either 4 or 5 days a week … My digestive issues have considerably improved… weight loss .. clarity.. alert mind .. no more foggy mind in the afternoon.. Again when adopting a diet be your own judge on how you feel and whether it’s yielding any results .. I would say at-least give 3-4 weeks of implementation.. then do a self analysis… IM concept thrives on having a stable insulin level for longer time .. As many of suffer from insulin resistance.. Again be your own judge on how you feel.. do your own research and don’t follow anyone blindly.

It's not about skipping bfast its just that you should feel hungry when you eat plus you don't have to buy any fancy drinks vitamins ever thing available in kitchen basic vegetables fruits desi ghee what else do you need Traditional food IF go hand in hand

An eye opener person in the world of capitalism. Thanks a lot mam for providing us real wealth.

Is ABC juice in morning is good for diabetics

Really from the time am following U am eating nd reducing 😍 nd stress free

This time I completely disagree with her... I have tried IM (14-16hrs fast) myself and never experienced all the issues that she mentioned.. Infact I'm less hungry, cravings gone, lost weight, feel better.. I don't think about food all the time.. I don't drink all the special juices she mentioned during my fast (then it's not fasting).. just water.. IM is a gradual process, you don't just start 16hr fast at once.. IM doesn't mean you have to skip breakfast.. You can have a late breakfast. But when the cravings are gone, you don't eat as much, so you end up having just 2 meals a day and maybe a snack(some nuts) in between.. You eat just as much is needed for your body.. She should have looked at the long list of researches on fasting benefits before making this video.. We already have a eating disorder (eating all the time) in our country, by saying eat eat eat she's just adding fuel to the fire..

Thank you ma'am 💗

Mam aapka diet plan kaha milega we want to meet you please let me know how.please

Hi Rujuta. Thanks a lot for such Important information. It is much needed these days. There is a request. Plz make a detailed video on protein shakes, whey protein and all such kind of supplements, which r consumed by all the gym going people on the name of muscle building and fat loss. Plz 🙏

iss field mein sabse gyaani aap hi hain. your goal is not to tell ppl how to lose weight, your goal is to make sure they understand logics, and not compromise on their well being.

i loved to eat vegetables pratha in breakfast ,but after second delivery ,i suffer from gas acidity so feeling blotting most of the time , less energy .... so finally have to skip breakfast , and take proper meal afternoon .

Good morning, you said school going kid’s must not skip breakfast but my girls complain they feel nauseous after having breakfast early morning, any suggestions please?

I like to be sane n practical😊

Ma'am any specific diet for hypothyroid people

Mam ,pls tell something about pigmentation among women's ,young girls

Huge fan Rujuta but intermittent fasting really helps

Please do make a video about milk tea.

Thanks mam🙂

Think about the rural people and the farmers (typical naturally healthy people). Do you picture them eating every two hours? Then, why are they not suffering from lifestyle problems? What is breakfast after all? Anything that breaks your fast ... correct? If someone skips dinner and eats next morning that is breakfast ... if someone skips breakfast and eats lunch directly that is also breaking the fast. I have personally practised both eating every 2 hours and intermittent fasting for 16:8. If your goal is to reverse diabetes ... then eating every 2 hours is not the way to do it. I thought I was doing something healthy and ate 2 hours a day but it only took me dangerously close to diabetes. Then I watched Dr. Fung's video on youtube and started IF saw my glucose levels come down.

too good regarding long life

What about the body getting healed during the fasting stage of Intermittent Fasting

Mam if you read my this comment then please make a video on gap of drinking water and meal because according to Late Rajiv Dixit 90minutes gap so it's difficult to keep maintain gap when we eat 3-4 times food. Please 🙏 make video
