Does skipping lunch cause weight gain?

My office schedule is sometimes so hectic that I skip lunch quite often. I thought it might help with weight, but I've actually gained a little. Can skipping meals like lunch actually lead to weight gain?

Skipping lunch karne se badme zyada bhook lagti hai aur hum dinner me overeat kar lete hain, ho na? Isse weight badh sakta hai actually. Thoda thoda karke time pe khana hamesha achha hota hai.

Skipping meals ruins your digestive fire and metabolism, which can lead to bloating and weight gain. Instead, try having a light homemade khichdi or buttermilk. If you face constant acidity or sudden weight changes, please consult a doctor.

While skipping lunch can mess up your metabolism, sudden weight fluctuations can also indicate underlying issues like thyroid or hormonal imbalances. It is always safest to get your blood levels checked and consult a physician before changing your meal timings.

My teenager started skipping lunch to lose weight, but it only made them weak and they ended up eating junk food later in the evening. Eating regular, balanced meals at home is much healthier and actually prevents unwanted weight gain. Please don't skip meals.

Yeah bro, skipping lunch absolutely backfires. I tried doing this for a month, got super hungry by 5 PM, and ended up eating double the amount of fast food. It is way better to eat a clean, high-protein lunch on time.
