Short excerpt from a YouTube interview (Cynthia Thurlow) advocating reduced meal frequency to improve metabolic health. Thurlow contrasts common U.S. eating patterns (8–10 times/day) with benefits of fewer meals or a 12-hour feeding window, and warns against extremes in fasting practices.

The average American's eating eight to ten times a day. No wonder why we're dealing with metabolic health issues. Helping people understand that it is beneficial to eat less often, even if that's a 12 hour feeding window. Two to three meals a day can have huge net effects. And unfortunately, I think what happened with fasting, like most hormetic stressors, is that people go to an extreme. If a little bit of fasting is good, more is better. If a little bit of exercise is good, more is better.
