First question is already awful. "Haven't eaten in 4 hours? You need to eat!"

Give me a break, I skip breakfast and usually do intermittent fasting every day, not eating until 4 or 5 with a high-cal home cooked meal. I feel great all day.

This is a general guide, so it doesn't account for any medical conditions the reader may have. Many people don't need to restrict their calorie intake so it makes them feel better when they eat some delicious food.

Fasting is not unhealthy.
