#CancelBreakfast? Dr. Oz Claims That We Don't Actually Need To Eat The 'Most Important Meal Of The Day' - Delish

It's 2020, and forget that it's an election year. I've been shaken to my absolute core by a completely unexpected candidate: Dr. Oz.

That's right, America: Your favorite daytime TV doc just promoted the hashtag #CancelBreakfast, and I'm still haven't recovered from the shock those words have caused me.

The movement to cancel what we all grew up learning was "the most important meal of the day," was born out of an interviewer's question about health fads for the New Year.

“I think for 2020, one of the firsts thing that I’m going to do is ban breakfast,” the friend of Oprah told TMZ. “I don’t think we need to eat breakfast. That’s an advertising ploy.”

Say WHAT?! That's def not what my Mama taught me.

"Unfortunately, a lot of the dogma we were fed for decades came out of advertisements and wasn't really based on the truth around our health. The smartest thing for us to do is cancel breakfast," Dr. Oz explained. "Have your first meal when you're actually hungry — which if you’re intermittent fasting and you haven’t had a late dinner, it won’t happen until midway through morning."

But, doc, I can't skip breakfast or fast intermittently. Otherwise, I'd be one hangry and unpleasant person to work with at Delish.

Truth be told, Oz isn't the first doctor to make this claim, which was laid out in length in a book with a scary title: Breakfast is a Dangerous Meal by Terence Kealey. The professor wrote:

They’ve created a scenario where we think there are only a limited number of options – generally toast, pastries, muffins or cereal, which are just about the worst things you can eat for breakfast.

... Yet so many of us mindlessly grab them out of our cupboards every morning because we’ve been raised on TV adverts that tell us these are foods to eat for breakfast and that breakfast is vital to good health.

What Dr. Oz appeared to want us to take away from his knowledge bomb is that the timing of breakfast is equally as important as what we put into our mouths.

"You are doing well with breakfast if it's made of oatmeal and healthy fats," he said. "You got to do it at the right time to have done it right. And then move your breakfast back a couple of hours, you'll be happy. You'll be thanking me."

Thus, it's SUPER OK to have brunch every day of the week. (Whew!!!)

If you don't wake up craving breakfast because the mad men told you need it, another reason you could be craving it is because you ate too last night. That makes you wake up "starving like a drug addict," per the doc.

“Because you had some simple carbohydrates like a potato chip or french fries at 10 at night, that means your body’s insulin's all whacked up. By the next morning, that withdrawal is happening," Dr Oz said. "You’re starving like a drug addict. You got to get your meds."

In the end, it turned out that the doc had a much deeper message to preach to us: He wants us to be addicted to life more than food.

"Most Americans are addicted to food," he said. "We should be addicted to life."

... But food makes me happy. And I'm OK with that.
