Well, fasting is not for everyone. Female biology often benefits from regular eating (small quantities), for example. People with gastritis, with PMOS, diabetes, etc. may find fasting hard. Intuitive eating is interesting, but people may have a problem confusing ‘intuition’ with ‘body signals’ that are not great; for example, if I were to intuitively eat while on ADHD medication, I’d eat nothing, and the opposite for bad days, I’d feel that my body is ‘naturally’ asking me for extra food.
So, while I agree that we should be brave to change the three meals a day if it isn’t for us, I’d recommend getting enough information and medical advice before changing anything.
“Stop eating for pleasure” is BS, too. We shouldn’t overindulge, but we need to find food appealing in order to stick with our personalized diet. These messages about food and eating being ‘a problem’ are not good for people in risk of developing an eating disorder…
