Skipping meals is so trendy nowadays, and it's called Intermittent Fasting. I fully agree that it's counterproductive and fails the smell test. Dr. Tan, I can vouch for what you said. Being ravenously hungry promotes binging. I know from past experience that this state makes deep-fried foods and other nutritional train wrecks MUCH more appealing than normal. As a result, I'm making sure to NEVER show up at a restaurant, party, potluck, etc. with a completely empty stomach. I'll make sure to eat some fiber-rich foods (like vegetables) in advance so that I don't overeat. While I'm not concerned about my weight or my blood cholesterol, I'd like to avoid the infamous food coma. Also, unhealthy foods weaken the immune system and promote inflammation.

One more tip for avoiding weight gain: Procure a time machine and use it to skip the winter months. Winter weight gain is 100% guaranteed for me. It's the season that brings me a larger appetite and fewer chances to exercise. The polar vortex gives me a gargantuan appetite AND a lifestyle as sedentary as Homer Simpson's. Avoiding junk foods and restaurant foods reduces the winter weight gain but doesn't stop it. If everyone ditched the unhealthy foods and ate only healthy foods, the obesity rate would plummet. I've been doing this for most of the past 3 years, but my motivation was to keep my immune system up and minimize inflammation due to the pandemic.
