Skipping breakfast is so damn effective because in the morning blood-cortisol levels are quite high, making it easier for your body to store so energy, energy we provide by breakfast but generally don't even need at that time.

I believe the research shows that skipping dinner is much more effective — in fact, there is debate as to whether skipping breakfast is even beneficial (anecdotally I would say it is).

I wish I understood the mechanism better, though.
