drpoop··on Why Intermittent Fasting Has So Many Health Benefits
You should eat regular meals so you poop at the same time each day. Meals trigger mass peristalsis which helps cause a bowel movement. When you start messing with this you start causing constipation, which then leads to haemorrhoids. If you are 30yo+ you know that you cannot rely on nice soft stool anymore by just doing whatever you want with your diet. I really think people don't talk about this enough.

It's funny that these studies don't address any kind of side-effects like this.
