Simple. Your body doesn't gather in calories, which it needs for the day to perform its functions. It also lacks the nutrients provided by the food you eat, which are vital for good health. Without the right amount of calories and nutrients (which can be divided into six basic categories: fiber, vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids, and water), your body will have no energy, and you will subsequently feel exhausted throughout the day.

Does skipping meals alleviate hunger?
no
What are the health effects of skipping meals?
It isn't wise to skip meals. The reason most people willingly skip meals is to lose weight. The thing is, skipping meals to lose weight isn't necessarily going to help burn off the pounds. Why? It's because of the metabolism. When you eat, your metabolism kicks into gear. If you don't eat, it's not going to work very efficiently. Also, if you skip too many meals, breakfast especially, your metabolism may go into survival mode. Basically that's an evolutionary thing where when you don't eat, the metabolism says 'Oh Jeez, this guy isn't eating. Clearly that means there's no food available so we better do something to prevent death!' Well, what the metabolism does for that is start retaining everything. No burning off calories or fats, keeping everything in. That's not a good thing. It's better to eat five to six small meals throughout the day than to blatantly skip meals. In fact, five to six small meals a day can be really beneficial for the metabolism, and have it working at its peak.

the long term effects will most likely be unhealthy and potentially fatal if extreme, but not in result to the gastric pains, but by skipping meals.
