Experts Explain Effects of Regularly Skipping Dinner on the Body

Skipping dinner occasionally may not cause significant harm, but making it a regular habit can affect metabolism, blood sugar levels, and appetite patterns. Experts note that the body initially uses stored glucose and then fat for energy during prolonged fasting periods. While this process can resemble intermittent fasting, doctors caution that the body's metabolism and hormonal balance rely on timely nourishment, and prolonged skipping of dinner may not support long-term health or weight management.
