    does nothing cool with your hormones, or any of that nonsense.

    There’s quite a bit of evidence that it helps with things like immune response and insulin resistance.

    I can attest personally that my usual severe allergies get better (where I get my sense of smell back) when I skip lunches. Although it has to be consistent over a period of at least a few weeks for that to work.

        Yes I’m sure. I’m one of the longest cared for patient by a top immunologist professor.

        I can wait just about anything during breakfast and dinner. And I don’t technically fast. I have snacks here and there. And I might have an apple with a slice of cheese for “lunch” every so often. But the reduction of intake during the day makes a huge difference.
