Intermittent Fasting Myths - What is the Truth?

Exactly. Just like how professional artists consult professional help with their diets, we regular persons should also consult our dietitians or nutritionists so that we won't experience negative effects with our diet.
One meal a day is not just a meal. We should also know how much nutrients our body needed in a day, and make a diet program or the food we need to eat to sustain that nutrients, that's the most challenging part. what food you need to eat to sustain that, this is the reason why we need to consult a nutritionist.
 
For me who has been overweight for most of my life, this is the only way of eating that has worked for me. I started with the 16-8 protocol moved to 18-4 then to OMAD. At first it was hard. I never thought that I would be able to do it. I used to see my parents fast for religious reasons and think to myself, I can't do this. Now I'm used to it. I know they are a number of books that are written about it and tout its benefits. Whoever wants to start should do their research and consult a doctor. However you also need to know that doctors have their biases, some like it others don't so do it and get regular checkups to see the effects it has on your health.

That is almost exactly how my story goes, too, @jaymish . I also started with the 16-8 protocol that most books recommend for intermittent fasting; but usually, I was only eating one meal during that time frame anyway, and maybe a small protein snack before I went back to fasting for the next 16 hours.
I had set my eating window from 8am-4pm, and that way, I had a little to eat before I went to the fitness center to exercise, and then a main meal after I got back home from swimming.
Eventually, I read that it was better to exercise at the end of your fast, so I stopped eating the small protein shake before I went swimming, and that left me with doing the one meal a day plan.
 
Yeah, that's right. But we should consider to consult the doctor about this. One meal a day is really hard specially for heavy eaters like me. Our mind is really powerful to follow the routine specially about the time to eat. So, I think this one meal a day should step by step, our body should be prepare to do this.
There are different types of intermittent fasting for a person like you. You can choose to have food during 10 hours of the day and forgo it for the rest of the 14 for instance. This is one of the types I was reccommended if I want to adjust into a one meal a day slowly.
 
Remaining on an irregular fasting regimen can really diminish aggravation inside your body, which can be an incredible long haul medical advantage, keeping you from potential joint inflammation, and even a few hypersensitivities. This may not be a show ceasing certainty to center around as you do your bicep twists, however it very well may be a distinct advantage for the life span of your wellbeing.
 
One of the myth that I find so hilarious is that skipping breakfast would make you to gain weight. This is a complete lie because it never happens, instead of this making you to gain weight, it would actually help you to lose weight.
