Hi friends,

Many people think skipping meals and intermittent fasting are the same thing. They’re not. One is usually accidental and stressful. The other, when done intentionally, can support metabolism and hormone balance.

Your body doesn’t respond to food rules. It responds to patterns. When meals are skipped randomly, your system reads that as instability. When fasting follows a consistent rhythm and is supported by proper nourishment, the body adapts calmly.

Today’s issue breaks down the difference between skipping meals and intermittent fasting, why inconsistency often backfires long term, and how to approach meal timing in a way that supports energy, hormones, and metabolic health.

This is about working with your body instead of pushing against it.
