I was thinking about a comment made up thread, that when younger the poster skipped breakfast and weighed less. I also think that is true. I didn’t eat breakfast for 4 years at Uni. And only started when I got married. That’s when the weight crept up!
As I said earlier, I don’t think every diet suits everyone. I don’t find fasting ones particularly hard, but if you are someone used to regular meals or has a lifestyle that demands them, then it’s not for you.
I would find prescriptive food regimes difficult to follow.
