It is if you believe Dr. John Henry Kellogg, former editor of Good Health, the self-proclaimed oldest health magazine in the world.
And if that name sounds vaguely familiar to you, it's also because he was one of the inventors of flaked breakfast cereal 100+ years ago. In fact, I believe his surname can still be found on a few boxes of various types of breakfast cereals to this day.
Yup
I almost never eat breakfast. I eat my first meal at 1 pm. If for some reason I do eat breakfast, I most likely don't eat dinner.
A lot of people do intermittent fasting. I didn't realize that's what I was doing until I heard about - for me it's just naturally what I do.

It's pretty much the same for me. I'm rarely hungry in the morning. If I am, two bites of something is enough. My first meal of the day is after noon.
I've never been a morning person. My guts aren't morning guts.
I've eaten breakfast my entire 47 years. It works for me. I have never been overweight (my whole life I have been either low normal or underweight) so that's not an issue for me. I just perform better eating many smaller meals spaced through the day. I have more energy, more brain power, better digestion. I also have a long history of hypothyroidism and restrictive eating disorder and the times I did experiment with fasting or IF it was a disaster for me. I generally eat at 4:20am, workout every morning around 6:15-7:30am, then have a small snack at work around 8:30am. I eat lunch at 12:15pm, then make and eat dinner around 5:30, then nothing til the next morning. I've done this for years. Weekends are more relaxed and less regimented as far as schedule, so i eat breakfast later, graze on snacks, then dinner around 6. I workout for two hours on Sundays so I eat a bigger breakfast and no snacks. Much of it is really about what my schedule looks like. I don't care if anyone else thinks this is healthy or not. It works for me. I don't have a huge interest in how others choose to eat.
My friend said she doesn’t eat until 1 pm and it’s “super healthy” to do that. I thought eating a healthy breakfast early is what is healthy? Your thoughts.
Yes. I wouldn't add the superlative, bit that's probably just because she talks Valley Girl and says everything is super.
Ask her what she means by "super" healthy? LOL She is probably talking about autophagy. And there is no evidence out there that Intermittent Fasting is far superior to normal forms of caloric restriction. There is no magic in intermittent fasting.
