Yes, I've also read elsewhere that fasting, even of the intermittent variety, can be very beneficial, particularly for those who are insulin-resistant or who have Type 2 diabetes.

I'm not willing/able to go days without eating but often skip meals. The idea that one needs to eat three regular meals a day is misguided and is not particularly helpful in terms of maintaining good health.

Many of the people I work with "graze" throughout the day. While most are younger than I am, practically all of them are heavier and some of those are likely headed for diet-related health issues as they get older. A number already have some, and a few are no longer alive due to the extremely poor quality of their diets.
