What do your studies show about intermittent fasting or, basically skipping breakfast and eating a later lunch to create a 16 hour fasting window?
Recommended AnswerAI SummaryIntermittent fasting, including skipping breakfast to create a 16-hour fasting window, can be effective for some individuals. Research suggests it may aid in weight management and metabolic health. However, it’s essential to listen to your body and ensure you’re still consuming balanced, nutritious meals during your eating window. Establishing a routine that includes healthy breakfast options can also support your overall well-being. Consider what works best for your lifestyle and goals.
How interesting that this question is seemingly directed to someone with research, and not to a general community, as I would assume since I’m being given the chance to answer with no proof of access to research. My cursory look at sources like Stanford University’s longevity research and the Mayo Clinic shows that the “jury is still out” on skipping breakfast and intermittent fasting in general. It doesn’t seem to cause more weight loss than general calorie restriction, and isn’t recommended for people with certain health issues. Talking with your doctor is recommended by pretty much every source.
