Topic: Is skipping meal a bad habit? - page 4. (Read 886 times)
It really depends on the body, people with weak immune system would be needing a lot of nutrients in their body so they are not allowed to skip their meals. I don't believe in these types of diet either, as long as you can control your eating habits you can definitely lose weight (doesn't apply to people with sickness tho)
I don’t believe that fasting is healthy, or that for some special human rights such as obesity or diabetes, sometimes eating less may make you healthy, but for most people, eating one less meal may make you feel bad. The balance of absorption and consumption by the body is affected.
There are different situations for different people.
For people with high blood sugar, high blood fat, or obesity, it may be beneficial to eat one less meal.
For people in good health, eating normally is the best choice.
The best way is to follow the doctor's advice.
After all, doctors are more professional.

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 should not skip the meal and also take apple and fruits which will keep you healthy and fit.
Skipping a meal is really not good habit and it can cause you a lot of weakness in the long run. Your immune system will not work properly which also means that you will become much more sick.
There is such a thing as intermittent fasting, in fact, there you do not miss anything, since most of the time without food falls at night, but this way your body is cleansed.
I have visited dietician and they do tell not to skip. Skipping is bad instead try to change the eating habits and the food types you eat. Like those who are mor eon junk food, oily stuff etc need to make changes in food habit. At the end of the day your body requires minimum calories, fats, nutrients, proteins etc which you must consume it. So, divide accordingly in a day where you are not hungry and not require skipping anything.

Skipping meal can play a terrible trick with you. Sure, if you skipped one or a few meals, the worst you can feel is some kind of irritation. But if you do it systematically, you'll probably feel bad consequences very soon.
I've had a difficult work schedule in my past so I had no time for lunches. Usually, I had a casual meal once or twice per day and a few little snacks. Now I regret this way of life because I struggle with gastritis. You need to take care of yourself now and always.

You definitely should ask about this your doctor. Probably dietologist. So he makes personalized diet for you considering your health and weaknesses. At least that's something I'd do. Also depends how big are your meals. For me tho, skipping breakfast is usually completely fine.
I think it's more bad than good. Once you delve into skipping one meal a day, skipping two doesn't look too farfletched. And you left with not eating at all after some time. Which is not healthy for sure.
So, it seems that there are different points of view on this topic...
On one hand, it seems ideal to eat varied food and provide your body with all the nutrients it needs in a timely fashion. On the other hand, intermittent fasting has been claimed to be beneficial in many ways since ages, even reaching the category of sacred in some cultures (we all know the Ramadan).
I've heard one thesis recently that makes sense and could be the reason behind this diversity of opinions here and everywhere. It states that modern nutrition is still a very young science (the biggest concern for most individuals until the consumer society was not deciding what to eat but getting something to eat) so there are many factors still unknown, and we can debate here for ages about doctor's/personal trainer's/aunt Mary's advice, and still not reach consensus, as there is no clear evidence, in this case, about the benefits or damages of intermittent fasting.
In fact, it is usually criticised by professional nutritionists that doctors are usually given a few days nutrition course only, but their advice are taken as if they were laws.

Recently I started a new job and probably from a month I'm skipping the breakfast because I want to sleep more. There is no change in my health for now, I don't see any problems with it. On lunch I'm eating a little bit more and that's all.
Skipping meals is actually not good and could take a toll on your body in long-term effect. It is not actually ideal to deprive your body of food (unless you're in for a surgery, your doctor will recommend you not to intake food for a specific time prior your surgery). 
it seems that opinions are divided between doctors and nutritionists, i believe that a period without meat or rather eating only vegetarian or vegan can only be good for the body by helping it to purify itself of toxins
I try it once and get sick.. It wasn't from the skipping but after the flue I continued to eat 3 times per day.
My relatives sometimes do days off (they do not eat but only drink water) but I have not noticed that they were healthier than me
In my whole life I heard so many different thinks about skipping the meal I don't know which to believe.. The last think i heard and I'm doing it now is better to eat often but less, not 3 times in the day but more.. It doesn't make difference if you ask me, if you skip or not just if you are skipping make sure the next meal will be not 1kg stake with 500g potatoes and the biggest desert they served 
Skipping meals only means an over feeding at some point. Both becomes a bad idea as over feeding works up your system with regards to digestion while skipping meals means, you going really hungry at some point and so do your intestinal worms that begins to eat the walls of your intestine and may result in some health complications.

Skipping meal is depend on your Body Needs , if you are not a Physical worker meaning just on your Computer sitting everytime , then Skipping meals does not a problem.But if you are a skill worker that moves around every minute then Meals is a must 3x a day.
I think each of them is right in his own way, but everything must be in moderation. Excessive consumption of apples will lead to a doctor, as will constant starvation

For me its not really that bad as long as it is not your breakfast meal that you will skip. Why? Because breakfast is the important meal that our body need to start the day to boost our energy.On the other side I tried intermittent fasting and its effective to those who want to lose wait. But its a must to consult a nutritionist to maintain a healthy food while skipping meals on specific hours.
