Disappointing design. The "skipped meal" days included just as much food as the 3-meal days, they just stuffed it into fewer meals. Of course this will lead to increased glucose...the people are gorging on extra food. The normal recommendation is to eat a snack, not a full meal, between lunch and dinner when skipping breakfast. You take in fewer calories, fewer carbohydrates, and gain the (not unfounded) benefits of fasting purported in dozens of other studies.
