It's true, IF (intermittent fasting) is a GREAT IDEA. and Dr. Mercola and Dr. Fuhrman are both advocates of Fasting.

"The job of fasting is to supply the body with the ideal environment to accomplish its work of healing. During the period of a fast the blood pressure will drop ; the level of retained metabolic wastes will fall, and the blood vessels will begin to soften and rid themselves of hard sclerotic plaque."

Yes, There's quite a bit of information available about intermittent fasting.  You can't just randomly skip meals though... Ideally, you should pick a 6-8 hr window and keep your eating within that window each day.  You must also make sure that the meals you do eat contain the nutrients you need to be healthy.

No.

Unless, you need to skip a meal to escape a tiger or other deadly beast.
