Skipping a meal is one thing, but fasting generally has a negative impact on your metabolism, especially as you grow older. More often leads to yo-yo weight loss and gain.
Eat smart and feed your metabolism.
Some folks are disputing that lower metabolism argument. Read the article...or even better yet, try the experiment on yourself.
Do it once a month for maintenance or once a week for weight loss. This does not mean you can eat cake the rest of the week! :)
Do drink water. Lots of water. It will force your body to cleanse it's self.

Skipping meals , especially breakfast on a regular basis is bad. It slows down your metabolism .
Fasting a few days a month a day at a time on the other hand is not bad for you nor will it cause yoyo weight gain .
It actually helps clear your system up to spend a day drinking nothing but water especially with todays high sugar diets . If you can go a day with out sugar entering into your system you will find that you wont crave a lot of junk type foods .
I am thin , don’t skip meals and fast one day a week .
I don’t crave junk food nor high processed foods like most people do. I love the taste of good chocolate but don’t crave it or any other deserts , pastas , pizzas , breads etc .
Sugar and foods that turn to sugars feed yeast in your gut that causes cravings , the more the yeast overload the more you crave foods that feed the yeast . Fasting and drinking nothing but water helps break this .
