That is not what I was expecting this to be about. Now I'm thinking, how does this relate to the intermittent fasting trend?

Are people meal skipping and calling it intermittent fasting?

Or are the people who are meal skipping generally not interested in "wellness community" trends like IF?

> Meal skipping has become an increasing trend of the modern lifestyle that may lead to obesity I believe them that this is correct but does anyone know why? I thought all the "intermittent fasting" folks were losing weight?

They are saying that a "modern lifestyle" may lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes. They are not saying that meal skipping leads to that, but rather it's a reaction to it.

Is the basic conclusion to skip dinner, and not skip breakfast?

I would need to see some pretty incredible benefits to give up dinner over breakfast, that sounds miserable. I suppose if you’re someone who gets up at 5 and sleeps at 9 or 10 every night, then skipping dinner might be easier.
