Many people I follow and respect, seem to recommend intermittent fasting.
I have grown up around the idea of the importance of breakfast and eating many meals a day, throughout the day, but I have never really felt hungry in the morning. However, I have sort of made my self eat breakfast...
I often eat my dinner quite late, so it would kind of make sense to try intermittent fasting.
Idea of giving the digestive system a break/rest makes sense to me. It seems natural!
However, "life happens" seems to affect achieving the eating window quite a bit.
So my question is, is there any value in having some sort of minimalist "jazzy" attitude to intermittent fasting?
Like, if I skip a breakfast if I don`t need it, but accepting the reality, that I might have a round of golf at 10am some days, and I don`t want to go play with an empty stomach? Or I`m on a business trip and it makes sense to have a nice hotel breakfast, but also need to eat late dinner with customers/colleaques.
And some days the fast might be 12 or 14 hours instead of 16. Is there still value, or is there a risk I wouldn`t achieve "minimum effective dose" so to speak?
