The author does a good job of providing balance in the piece despite the fact that many of the doctors, mental health professionals, dieticians, and nutritionists in the article are taking a somewhat overly cautious approach to intermittent fasting. This makes sense because there needs to be more testing, and the professionals only change their policies after seeing the results, but I personally think so many people are finding benefits to this approach to eating that more studies will ultimately show that there is a regiment that is more optimal that eating the standard three meals per day.
