Is fasting a meme or is it a good way to lose weight?

All fasting really is, is cutting out a meal. For example the classic 16/8 fast. 16 hours fast, 8 eating. You spend 8 of that 16 sleeping and the other 8 fasting. In that other 8 you would have eaten breakfast but you didn't. Noe all you have left is lunch and dinner.

It is your only shot at mimicking a God-physique, if you wasn't born Chad; which you obv wasn't.

The evidence suggest you're just eating at a caloric deficit and the timing is irrelevant. There may be other benefits to fasting but in terms of weight loss no it may even be harder for some and cause them to eat more as a result of it.

The best way to lose weight is the one that works for you. If fasting makes you lose weight then it's ok.

Both.
It's a meme because a handful of vocal retards claim it's the only possible way to lose weight. It's a good way to lose weight, because you're not eating as much.

If you switch to a keto/paleo diet while on a fast it's much easier to not over eat.

Fasting and a GOOD DIET (keep mind on the GOOD DIET part) is all you need to lose weight.

So no, its not a meme.

it's good but if you're too fat you'll get loose skin

Fasting helps with insulin control.
When your insulin is up fat burning is lowered, so by fasting you're giving your body more time in a low insulin state, or a higher fat burning state.
Of course, if you lift, you might want that elevated insulin for the protein synthesis, so more meals a day may work for you.

Here is a short description of what insulin does:

So I think controlling insulin is worth looking into.

Just eat less.

Yes

What type of fasting? Intermittent fasting, straight fasting, etc. I think the best one is protein sparing modified fast since you're eating a very low calorie diet while getting in enough protein to retain muscle mass that you would otherwise lose not eating.
