Eating once a day

[Dandelion]

I even notice a void when I only have two meals one day. Three is what I need. And I'm no fatty neither. Fast metabolism and when I risk becoming fat I'd exercise.

Different things work for different people.
This along with fasting was particularly effective for me and I dropped nearly 25 pounds doing it. I'm surprised so many people get hungry that quickly.

[Amorette]

No, I don't and I don't think I will. I feel like I have been gaining weight lately but a few pounds or so I can handle still. If it becomes too much weight gain then I will eat less or go down to 2 meals rather than one meal. One meal just seems too little.

YES. I eat once a day, usually a bowl of soup, an Italian sandwich, which contains meat, salad vegetables, and a roll, and a dessert such as chocolate ice cream or chocolate cake. I may sometimes take a small snack with the pills which I take at bed-time, one of which is supposed to be taken with food.

I eat once a day and have been doing so for years. I never eat breakfast, mainly because I generally only wake up around lunchtime (12-2pm). I can't stomach a meal after just waking up so usually I just have dinner. If I'm awake a little earlier, I'll have lunch but not supper.

For me dinner consists mainly of pulses (protein), vegetables and rice or couscous.

Today, for example, I got up a little earlier and my husband and I had a big lunch. There is a restaurant locally that has a great buffet. I had sweet potato (love it!), butternut, beetroot, fresh peas in the pod, marinated mushrooms, pomegranate, baby corn, carrots, celery, brown bread with lots of hummus, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sun-dried tomato, apple and goji berries.

I will eat again tomorrow night.

Ah yes, you have stated the REAL reason I eat only one meal a day. I never get up early enough to have breakfast. I have debated whether to call my one real meal "brunch" or "lunner".

Sometimes a single meal, sometimes three.

For a long while now, I have adhered to a 12 -14 hour fast every day from around 6.30 to 7 pm until the next morning.

I also have a fairly good idea what my caloric intake is on any given day and eat to that. Roughly 4000 so I can eat a fair bit too. Less on an office bound day.

Always whole foods over processed products.

If you don't have a slow metabolism, don't try it.

[frankhammer]

If you don't know your what your base caloric intake should be, don't try it.

FTFY.

Too many people assume they have this or that metabolism. I always assumed I had a slow metabolism due to my more endomorphic body type. I was wrong.

When I fast for Ramadan, I eat once a day, and when I eat at the end of the day, I take it slow. I have a glass of room temperature water first, and make sure i eat foods with vegetables, grains, and protiens, like rice and chicken with salad. Then I wait 30 minutes and treat myself to dessert as well as eat more food lol.
