Interesting viewpoint, but honestly, I'd love to see some linked references to some of these statistics. Intermittent fasting has a handful of benefits, so skipping breakfast isn't necessarily a bad thing. In reality, all things in life should be done in certain moderation. Over-indulgences as well as fasting. The most important thing to take away from proper (sustainable and healthy) dieting is quality calories in vs calories out. Nutrient timing is important, but significantly much less so that the quality and quantity of food you eat.
