Google "intermittent fasting studies" and you'll find plenty of information.
Of course, if you're an endurance athlete its probably bad to skip breakfast before a race or big training regimen.
I'm as skeptical of fad diets as anyone, but it seems like science is starting to back-up the notion that some fasting is good for weight loss (lower calories, kick-starts ketosis) and brain function.
And it seems to line up with common sense, considering our bodies evolved for thousands of years of food scarcity.

I'll have to read up on that before forming and opinion, but I wonder if this hinges on a person being overweight, or regularly consuming a calorie surplus.
