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 can google the reason for it. There are certain reasons why skipping meals is good and it does bad for some people. Our bodies have different situations and whichever is your doctor or nutritionist tells you to do about meals, follow it.
About intermittent fasting, you won't actually skip meals, you're still allowed to eat and you have an eating window for 8 hours and won't eat for 16 hours. Yeah you have skipped for several hours but you're still intaking food in your body.
