What happens to your body when you skip dinner?

Advice from an endocrinologist

Before putting this type of measure into practice, keep in mind that not everyone can follow a low-carb diet.

Some people cannot skip dinner, and there are those who need to eat every 3 hours. Therefore, if the idea is to lose weight, the best diet is the one that is adapted to the patient, that is, it must be personalized.

Skipping dinner may be an option for those who need to reduce their daily calories a little, but it's not right for everyone.

Changing your eating pattern for 15 days does not help in treating any health problem, especially weight gain. In this case, the changes must be targeted and long-term.
