Exactly. Even if you plan on eating, just the ability to stretch that for a couple more hours till everyone else isn't hungry at the same time is huge. Even if people have no plans or reason to fast for health, as long as they can do it safely they should try, just for their own peace of mind.

I was shocked when my doctor suggested intermittent fasting, but having done one meal a day for a while it was only a tiny bit more difficult when I did my 5 day fast. It's just so freeing to realize that I can go for days without eating with basically no ill effects. It really does reinforce that, if you're a bit overweight like I am, 3 meals a day, even if they're healthy, is a luxury I don't need. To day nothing of the horribly unhealthy food i'd like to be eating.

Even more, it's helped my relationship with food. I used to worry about the 'healthy' option that would still fill me up. In a restaurant that just doesn't exist. Well, if there isn't one, I just won't eat. Or I'll sit down to a 3000 calorie meal with zero guilt because i've either not eaten for long enough that it's a reasonable intake, or I can just not eat later. It's really taken a lot of food related stress out of my life. Of course, I see how that could be bad for people with certain types of relationships with food, but it's helped me immensely.
