Is skipping meal a bad habit?

[newwest]

There is such a thing as intermittent fasting, in fact, there you do not miss anything, since most of the time without food falls at night, but this way your body is cleansed.

I have visited dietician and they do tell not to skip. Skipping is bad instead try to change the eating habits and the food types you eat. Like those who are mor eon junk food, oily stuff etc need to make changes in food habit. At the end of the day your body requires minimum calories, fats, nutrients, proteins etc which you must consume it. So, divide accordingly in a day where you are not hungry and not require skipping anything.

I’m a bit confused about these. My doctor will always say don’t skip a meal and he will always remind me “An apple a day keeps you from the doctor” so if skipping meal is a bad habit, why do experts and professional nutritionist  say intermittent fasting is healthy?

You should not skip the meal and also take apple and fruits which will keep you healthy and fit.
Skipping a meal is really not good habit and it can cause you a lot of weakness in the long run. Your immune system will not work properly which also means that you will become much more sick.

There are different situations for different people.
For people with high blood sugar, high blood fat, or obesity, it may be beneficial to eat one less meal.
For people in good health, eating normally is the best choice.
The best way is to follow the doctor's advice.
After all, doctors are more professional.

I don’t believe that fasting is healthy, or that for some special human rights such as obesity or diabetes, sometimes eating less may make you healthy, but for most people, eating one less meal may make you feel bad. The balance of absorption and consumption by the body is affected.

[LittleJadiel]

It really depends on the body, people with weak immune system would be needing a lot of nutrients in their body so they are not allowed to skip their meals. I don't believe in these types of diet either, as long as you can control your eating habits you can definitely lose weight (doesn't apply to people with sickness tho)

I think it all depends on conditioning your body to it. Changing your meal cycle completely over night might be too much for your body and you experience one bad side effects. For example if you want to skip lunch in the future you could start with only a small snack for lunch and eating a bigger breakfast. After a few weeks you could start cutting back further and eventually skip lunch all together.

intermittent fasting is healthy for some people who eat a lot. We normal people should eat regularly to give our body a habit. Some girls ship meals frequently tp be slim and they turn out to be slim in an ugly way. don't be poisoned by some "fashion" idea

This is what i'm doing now , as my Health needs some changes because of my Doctors advises .

and also anyone knows about KETO diet? i mean someone who's doing this now? is it easy ? or effective?

Please need some user that in this on now and not those who's reading via Google. i need actual user.

When you skip meals, you deny your body what it needs. Some people skip meals to save calories, while others claim they’re just too busy to eat. Yes, it is a bad habit, because skipping meals can cause your metabolism to slow down, which can cause weight gain or make it harder to lose weight.

[James Watson]

I think it’s no problem for normal people to eat three meals a day. If they are too obese, they may need to eat less or not, plus various exercises to lose weight to maintain their health. This problem is to take a different approach to different groups.

[Lily Garver]

I usually skip differ. but if don’t eat dinner for a long time, it will be harmful to the body, because it will increase the corrosion of gastric acid on the gastric mucosa, which will easily lead to gastric ulcers and cholelithiasis. worse still, we may suffer gastric cancer. In addition, it will also affect the quality of sleep at night. Now I'm experiencing sleep disorder. Don't be like me, please

[Alyssa Turner]

There's a time when I skipped dinner to lose weight. Then I went to the doctor. He said long-term skipping dinner will lead to rich nutrition in the body, and in order to maintain normal life activities, the basic metabolism of the human body will be reduced, and it is easy to gain weight at this time, so it is undoubtedly very absurd to refuse dinner in order to lose weight, even through successful,  it is very easy to rebound.

If it’s just drinking water and not eating, I think it’s okay, but if you have low blood sugar, you might as well eat something, otherwise it will definitely be bad for you and affect your normal physiological level.   drink only water or eat fruit one day each month, that is, detoxification,  it is also a method of intestinal cleansing. From the perspective of modern medicine, this method can adjust the acidic environment of the body to alkalescence, and acidification of the body is one of the causes of diseases. It should be reminded that not everyone is suitable for fasting and detoxification. For example, people with chronic diseases and low blood sugar should not try it easily. It is also best for healthy people to consult a doctor in advance.

I don't know why you wanna skip meal. if you're for lose weight, here's what I'm gonna say\
Skipping meals can achieve the effect of weight loss, but it cannot achieve the best weight loss effect. It does not mean that the less you eat, the thinner you will be. It also reduces the body's metabolic rate, which can make you get sick and is not conducive to health. The best way to lose weight is to eat less, plus moderate exercise, if you stick to it, you will definitely lose weight. It is still necessary to eat every meal. The important thing is to diversify the diet and ensure the nutritional ingredients. at the same time, control the total calories is essential as well

I agree that the best and sustainable way to lose weight is to eat less (less than you calorific requirements per day) and regular exercise. I had experience with that and lost about 5 kgs in a month. It was not drastic but I can say I did not feel hungry during that time. Didn't skip meal but ate less carbs. and daily stairs workout (no special routine). Skipping a meal if you are not ready will just tempt you to eat more the next meal. But it also depends on your habit formed as we have different body types. You need to assess why are you doing it and how ready you are with sudden changes in your lifestyle?

It depends on body types which is not related to the immune system for sure. Skipping meal for any body type is not a good habit because it can damage your digestion cycle and also leads to the excess acidic content generation which keeps secreted to help in digestion.

Skipping breakfast is really bad for your health. Breakfast is very important to your health. Of course, eating fruit and a glass of milk is considered breakfast. The doctors will advise us to eat breakfast on time.

[peter0425]

Skipping meal never been harsh for us , but make sure to have at least 1 meal per day , because of you are talking about Skipping meal continuously for a week then that is a suicide .

Skipping breakfast is really bad for your health. Breakfast is very important to your health. Of course, eating fruit and a glass of milk is considered breakfast. The doctors will advise us to eat breakfast on time.

having at least 1 apple in the morning is enough to be called Meal , then follow solid foods late in the after noon and No food in the evening completely.

[Miranda Trenton]

For people who are often sick, I think eating an apple a day is useful, but for people who want to lose weight, I think light fasting is a healthier way to lose weight. The two do not conflict. It depends on you. What is the situation.

[Jazmin Leslie]

It varies from person to person. I don't eat breakfast all year round, and I'm in good health. Some people might fall in for this while others not. Some people have a good appetite after exercise and others may have no appetite then. I think the same is true for dinner. When the body adapts it, it is okay. If you don’t eat dinner and can’t sleep because you feel hungry, blood sugar gets low or even get into dizziness, then that’s definitely bad for your health. Also, even if you don't eat dinner/breakfast and don't have any discomfort, you should take regular physical examinations still so that you can know your body condition in case any disease occurs.

[londongamer]

yes naturally, you can get sick and end up with bowel cancer if you continue that habit. Eating right is what gives us the assurance that our immune system is strong. Of course, there must be rest.
