This gem popped up on my browser.

Don't skip a meal folks or you are going to die with wacky blood sugar while feeling bloated and in starvation mode all at the same time.

I think dying while in starvation mode has got to be the worst way to go.

    That was pretty dire in terms of weight loss information and being factual. For entertainment value and a few good laughs, it was worth the click. I hate slide presentations though.

    Well, skipping meals does affect your blood sugar (ever had the 3 pm crash, when you skip lunch?)

    Never. I rarely (pretty much never) eat lunch Mon-Fri while at work and if anything I'm more productive and alert in the afternoon.

    I wouldn't say that it's the worst ever, but it is a compilation of some of the worst bro science and dieting myths collected into one spot.

    Fixed it for you.

    Our bodies are amazing things all we all don't react the same way. I fair much better with smaller regular meals, but my daughter does just fine eating most of her food within a small time frame. That and the types of foods you eat can make an impact.

    For some IF increases our risks of binging because of hanger. For others it reduces it because it helps with satiety.

    Either that or our bodies are amazing at adapting to our feeding schedules.

    I agree, we are all different. I work a desk job where I constantly can't wait till my next meal or snack (I eat breakfast at my desk, morning snack, lunch at home, afternoon snack at my desk) and then a normal dinner at home.

    My boyfriend on the other hand works a very active construction job and has a protein shake around 5:30 in the morning and then he may not eat anything again until he gets home in the afternoon. It baffles me that he can do that!
