Is skipping meal a bad habit?

[ILuckyGuyI]

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?

In every field, there will always be different opinions about something. I see this more especially in health topics. So, you could listen to your doctor if you want. For example, I don't support the idea that skipping a meal is good. Because it affects our immune system badly too.

I think short fasting(maybe from morning to 12 noon) is ok for certain people. You could try something called "fruit-fasting" if you are worried about the probable side effects of dry fasting. Very healthy light foods while doing short fasting is recommended. Feed on Healthy light foods such as fruits and vegetables. It's OK to drink lots of water during the fasting.

Not everyone can handle long dry fasting. Do the short one if it makes you healthy and makes you feel good.... You could gradually increase the length of the fast if the short one gives no problems.

The habit of skipping breakfast continuously will eventually lead to weight gain. Breakfast is included in a healthy lifestyle. Enjoying a healthy breakfast can reduce the risk of heart attack. Skipping breakfast is associated with a higher risk of heart disease

As for me, I try to never skip my meals. Of course, sometimes I have to do this due to a number of reasons. For example, I may lack time for something like this. But in most cases, I eat five or six times a day and it completely satisfies me.
I eat mostly protein meals. But I should stress that I’m not a body-builder. I’m fond of doing pull-ups and push-ups and no more. I don’t need to gain a lot of weight due to medical reasons - I have issues with veins on my legs, but I run a lot and it greatly helps me a lot.
By the way, I can even eat an hour before going to a bed. Curds are the last thing I eat. Curds can be eaten late because it’s easily digested unlike meat. Avoid eating anything else late except for curds because I think it would be harmful.

I think that it depends more on habit, that is, if you adhere to the same meal schedule, then you need to follow it, but it does not have to be 5 times a day

If your body indicators are relatively normal, you can eat less if you want to lose weight, but not on a diet. If you are sick, you must have three normal meals a day to maintain the intake of various nutrients.

However, skipping dinner for a long time will do a lot of damage to the stomach.

[Borisfe]

I do not know.
But I stopped eating after noon for a long time, and finally got gastritis.

The specific situation still needs to consult a doctor.
After all, everyone has a different situation.

In fact, everything is very simple.

If you eat junk food (any animal products, fried foods, etc.), then you will have an increased acidity of the stomach, and if you do not eat on time, then this acid will simply begin to corrode the walls of the stomach and gastritis will appear. This will not happen right away, but after a year or after a few years of systematic such nutrition (harmful and rare).

Those who eat right have no hunger at all (I’m telling you this for a reason, I personally can eat nothing for 3 days at all and engage in active physical work and don't feel any hunger).

Intermittent fasting is very beneficial. It starts the process of autophagy (in short, an increase in the lifespan of all organs and tissues of the body), the synthesis of somatropin (rejuvenating hormone), and the cleansing of the body at the intercellular and intracellular levels.

Therefore, do not systematically starve if you eat junk food. Switch to adequate nutrition (vegan, raw food), and only then fast 3-5 days every 2 weeks, this will be enough in order to get the most out of fasting (also use mini-fasting when you only eat from 12:00 until 6:00 pm). Longer fasting is done with serious cleansing of the body, but do not start such fasting without knowledge and without prior therapy against helminths (99% of people have them). Study various literature about healing fasting and only then apply it on yourself.

If you want to lose weight it's probably a good idea to skip some meals. I am not an expert on the subject but a friend of mine lost 15 kilos with the new 16-8 method. You are basically only allowed to eat 8 hours per day and the rest of the time you are fasting. A good approach here is to skip breakfast, eat lunch at 12 and then dinner at 7, with maybe a small snack in between.

Skipping meal is never a good option unless due to some reason once a while you skip it which is fine, else there are other alternatives which you can take considering the per day calorie consumption, protein, vitamins etc required can be intake accordingly as there are various food services in this space which you can eat it. So, this just helps as you do not even have to skip the meal and not taking any extra calories too.

I believe fasting or skipping meal works well for certain people. I try not to do it for too long though.. I sometimes feed on only very light healthy natural foods like really good oil/fat, fruits, vegetables,, herbs/tea, lots of warm water etc while fasting. I actually recommend the latter for those who are worried about skipping meal. It feels like your body produces gentle blue flame while using those kind of foods

I think a lot of doctors are not actually trained in nutrition and a lot of nutritionists were trained many years ago, anecdotes dont equal science but when you have thousands of succcess stories you have to start thinking that perhaps theres something to it.
