There is more detailed research as to food consumption patterns. Basically fasting for around 16 hours a day is good for health. From the evolutionary perspective--that invested in a human body 200K years--the way we eat today is really broken. And our body can't adapt to a new pattern even during 1000 years. Not to mention like 50. A human body during 200K years was not prepared to eating a lot. It needs to store energy and to use stored energy. That's a natural cycle and different function that our body needs to execute. Nowadays we just store energy 24/7.
"Emerging findings from studies of animal models and human subjects suggest that intermittent energy restriction periods of as little as 16 h can improve health indicators and counteract disease processes. The mechanisms involve a metabolic shift to fat metabolism and ketone production, and stimulation of adaptive cellular stress responses that prevent and repair molecular damage."
