I Eat Once A Day

yes.

i used to be the same. mostly because i worked nights - i don't like breakfast, so i'd end up eating once a day, around 11pm. my eating habits have always been mediocre at best but i've recently started forcing myself to eat more during the day, and less late at night, and i'm sleeping HEAPS better.

it's not really an issue of weight, it's about feeling like a normal human being, and actually having energy to do stuff. i've just started working 2 jobs, as well as taking a class at uni, so i realised i had to sort my shit out if i wanted to remain functioning and coherent.

i think it's really whatever works for you.

i've recently started eating dinner in the morning, and breakfast at night. it just works better for my hunger cycle.

the once a day thing i just feel like is weird for me. i need food.

I would kill someone if I did this, possibly myself.

I've gone through long periods of once-a-day eating, though often with sugar-spiking vending-machine visits scattered around it. The huge benefits in time and spending feel pretty good, obviously, but you know it's doing something unpleasant to your body, especially w/r/t blood sugar spiking and crashing and burning low across the day.

I mean, I'd imagine the human body is probably okay with once-a-day eating, and if you keep it at a constant time, there's probably some mechanism to smooth over this a little -- but that's surely not a good thing, compared to keeping your body relatively stable across the course of the day.

me? I don't eat breakfast, everything else is pretty normal.

If you're really only going to eat one meal a day, you'd be foolish to not make breakfast that meal!

Uh why? I never liked breakfast and never needed that boost of energy. I eat it now, but I used to skip it. (Not possible now as my pregnant self would scream for food. But when I'm non-pregnant, I can/will skip breakfast.) I did the one meal per day routine for a long time. It's extremely convenient.

Looking forward to meals is like all that gets me through my day, you people hate life.

i know i derive like SO much pleasure from just looking forward

my coworker and i have been talking about dinner foods like ALL day long

I don't really enjoy eating that much. Or, well, I really enjoy eating good food, but when I'm sitting there working on something and realize I need to feed myself, it feels like a big gross chore, and nothing I have time/money/energy for is going to be particularly pleasing anyway.

Umm possibly this has to do with my getting really HUNGRY for good food no more than once a day, though! The other times, I'm more or less feeding myself just out of obligation / habit / duty.

Related news: often I do feel hungry, but can't think of any particular food I would actually enjoy eating

I did this for much of high school instead of dealing with my poor rural high school cafeteria. (The lasting memory I have of high school hot lunch is "fish cheddars" - fish sticks stuck together with industrial grade orange "cheese.") I usually eat two meals a day as an adult, mainly because I enjoy eating a lot more when I'm moderately to very hungry.

i boggle at people who "don't like" breakfast.

Yesterday all I ate was one egg and bacon pie. I forgot to eat dinner. I've been doing that a lot lately and I've lost about 10kg in the last 2 months without even meaning to :/

my ideal day would be: hearty lumberjack breakfast with coffee coffee coffee, very light lunch to keep the glucose up, nice dinner w/ wine or spirits, maybe some fruit & cheese to nibble on before bed. and lots of water throughout the day.

I don't like to eat really soon after I wake up. My preferred mealtimes are a good-sized breakfast around 10:30, lunch/dinner around 4:00, and just a little snack around 8:00. I hardly ever do that, though.

there was a span of about a year where I was really nauseous whenever I woke up and couldn't bring myself to eat breakfast, which was very weird for me because I've always been a religious fast-breaker. but I got over it and now I'm more or less on the three-a-day tip, with occasional lunches skipped due to nothing more than laziness.

With me I'm just never really hungry when I wake up. this makes me some sort of freak apparently.

I'm fairly hungry but the first cup of coffee of the day suppresses that until mid/late morning.

I've gone from 7 cups of coffee a day to no cups. (and I don't eat breakfast).

breakfast time is like one of the most exciting parts of life for me

i just had eggs at 11pm, i couldn't wait

you people are insane

i eat six meals a day

I think a lot of this is that metabolism effect where eating breakfast sparks way more hunger across the rest of the day, and not-eating breakfast means ... not being nearly as hungry?

(E.g., I switched to breakfast-eating for a while around 2001, and it turned into a problem, because I'd be distractingly ravenous an hour before I usually ate lunch.)

(I probably had more energy, though?)

when you eat less meals but eat more food during the times you do eat, your body is in starvation mode and will store everything you eat as fat because it thinks it won't get another serving of food for another extended period

when you eat more, smaller meals throughout the day, your metabolism is continuously burning burning and you have waaaaaay more energy

that said, i eat every three hours

So, If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport = warrior diet bro.

I'm with rock hardy. Making coffee for myself when I wake up is my favorite part of the day .

Me too and I just remembered that I forgot to buy coffee today. :-(

I need breakfast in the morning or else I feel fucked up. I've always been this way. Usually has to be cereal/toast/bagel, something mild and grain-based.

Cutty is so OTM

xp but nabisco i'm the other way around - if i don't eat breakfast i freak out and binge later. i need that padding.

If I leave the house without eating breakfast, I get nauseous. I'm pro eating as often as possible. The thought of only being able to eat once a day just makes me sad.

maybe i should take a picture with my shirt off

does gum trick your body into thinking youre eating so your metabolism goes fast?

I've basically been eating once a day for about six years. On my days off I'll eat lunch, because I can doze off if I need to, but if I eat anything more than like 150 calories in the middle of the day on a work day I wind up feeling like shit.

To each his own but seriously warrior diet is a perfectly reasonable way to live. Three squares a day seems right when you're doing enough physical stuff to burn through 1500+ calories or whatever, or if you're a kid, but most adults with white collar jobs absolutely do not need to eat that much.

Great work man, been doing the same ( somewhat adapted for my particular needs) but definately all of ORI's concepts are amazing. I have made unbeleivable changes to my physique on this ( kinda have mixed Keto and Paleo with ORI's views and created my own Idea) but the same 1 meal at night, 1 meal post w/o, low carb, and light forced fasting thru the day. I have added fresh vegtable juice during my contest prep. These concepts have brought me from a 38 in belly measurement to a 31.25 measurement this morning 21 days out from my first show.

should I ask where that came from? ugh

among the results for wario diet

yeah, I think I liked it better when I didn't know that my schtick had a name and a following among raw beef enthusiasts

radishes straight out the bag are kind of my favorite snack though. and pretzels. the latter presumably makes me some kind of hopeless beta I guess

ehhh i wish i could do this and not feel like crap. hate having to eat bcz lazy..

yeah i like food, especially dope food, and the full strictures of this seem neither appealing or feasible, but try to have perhaps one or two days a week like this

how the hell does ben's chili bowl fit into this, tom?
