I've been eating one meal a day for a bit more than 15 years. It wasn't a plan. I've never been a breakfast eater, and I got really busy with work and started skipping lunches and enjoying a meal in the evening. I liked eating this way and decided to stick with it. Everyone in my life tells me that I am going to get nutritional deficiencies and that I am damaging my body. I'm trim. I'm fit. I'm never sick. They are all mostly overweight and taking prescribed meds for various ailments. To appease everyone, I had a physical checkup and had blood work done. My blood work was perfect, but the doctor referred me to a nutritionist when I told him about my one meal a day eating. I met the nutritionist. She was horrified by my eating style. My main sources of calories are potatoes and beans. I eat all varieties of potatoes and all the varieties of beans. I make a huge pot of beans from dry beans every week. Freeze half of it and eat the other half during the week with steamed potatoes (I cut them up before steaming). My main condiment is salsa. I also usually toss a small handful of walnuts on top before I sit down to eat. Sometimes I add other veggies like broccoli, mushrooms or bok choy to the pot of steaming potatoes, but for most meals it's just potatoes and beans with salsa and walnuts. My desert is usually just a piece of fruit if I have it, which can be an orange, an apple or a bowl of berries. I drink water, nothing else. No booze. No juices. No coffee. No soda. The nutritionist gave me a bunch of literature about meal planning. She wanted me to eat three meals a day and include dairy products in my diet. She was nice and seemed genuinely concerned about me, but she was also fat. I didn't adopt any of her advice. It's two years later. I'm still healthy, fit, and trim and enjoying potatoes and beans. Everyone in my life is still telling me that I am going to get sick. After 15+ years, maybe tomorrow is the day.

My daughter, age 11, is never hungry in the morning - so she doesn't want breakfast and I have never forced her to eat. I think by forcing kids to eat at a certain time (or finishing their plate) we send the message that they should ignore their hunger cues, which is a bad long-term strategy for eating competency as they grow up.

[@eeaotly]

Good for you! I was a terrible eater as a child. Terrible according to adults' criteria. I was having a reduced appetite, I used to wait until the food was at a tolerable temperature, I was chewing slowly until everything would become a paste and, if in the morning, I was always waiting until my tongue was awake too (this was one way of saying it, not knowing that, indeed, systems and organs do take time to wake up)... and so on and so forth. I guess I knew intuitively what I was supposed to do.

My daughter was a skinny child and we kept getting told she was under weight. After getting rather annoyed I asked based off what. They said based of the national average. I pointed out the the national average is obese here in the states so maybe the easiest way to fix the system is to quit basing it off broken averages and baselines so the system doesn't keep contributing to the problem. I could tell in a moment, I hurt the ego of this doctor, but in a split second, you could see the light come on. Our visits became far more beneficial instead of the typical superficial.

I started IF in November 2018. I was going through a real personal disaster, feeling lost, completely low. I found it on youtube and on a whim, I just did a 18hr fast and guess what "nothing happened". I experimented and got to 20:4 pretty fast even with work and everything. Since then, I have recommended it to many people I care about. I agree with all the benefits but as a layman: 1. My confidence in my own body has gone up exponentially. I am more grateful for my health, I am extremely tuned into the feedback from my body. 2. My will power has gone up. 3. I now have added about an hour of meditation daily. 4. I have since graduated to cold showers, running marathons and ultras, and to entrepreneurship. It is freedom, good health, gratitude, confidence, will power, everything. Once you realize what an exquisite piece of machinery this body really is, you treat it better and you treat yourself better and that reflects in everything else that you do.

It’s so much easier to do this than calorie counting or portion control, and neither of those things ever work for me. I’m almost positive it’s because I’ve been insulin resistant. I’ve had a couple of tests where the doctors have said said my liver enzymes are “off,” too. Don’t know what that means, but I bet I have fatty liver.

[@stacysorensen2463]

One of the most unexpected benefits of fasting for me, has been clarity and ease about giving things up. Addicted to food and sugar for my entire life, when I began fasting, there was a deep change inside of me that no longer felt the need to hold on to things. It’s been a very spiritually transitional experience. Never in my life could someone have convinced me that I could train my body to go without eating. Even now, after practicing fasting for a couple of years, I’ll set a goal of 24 hours, then find if I just go to bed a little earlier, which is important anyways, I can get an extra 8-12 hours easily. When I’m to that point, I’m usually no longer hungry at all and know I can fast indefinitely. That is a miracle for me. I should mention I am a type 2 diabetic. I often tell people one of the greatest benefits of fasting for me is the weight loss, not in pounds, it’s not my goal, normal blood sugar is my goal, but in the weight of STUFF I throw out or donate and even negative relationships!!! It’s so freeing!!! Fasting is one of the greatest blessings of my lifetime for hundreds of reasons. I study at great length about what foods to break my fasts for health. I use a fasting app because there’s something for me, about pressing that button. I always feel a bit anxious about any extended fast and then ALWAYS find it easier than I anticipated. I stay busy during my extended fasts, even planning projects. Hunger is all in my mind. My mind is more hungry than my body and in fact, I now love the feeling of hunger. I also know drinking that water keeps me from feeling hungry and if I do feel hunger, it’s because I haven’t drank enough. If I feel truly hungry, I eat because the body knows what it needs. It’s listening to my body, not my mind. My mind is hungry 24/7 lol.

The app helps me keep track of how long I have been fasting. It also tracks water intake, which good for me because I tend to forget to drink if I don't have a reminder. I use Fastic.

@Naree Greenland I say Amen 2 that. This Doctor is Spot-On. I really can't stand when peo. just keep shoving shoving things into their Mouths -- like dirty little Pigs do. And THEN -- some people just eat EVEN though they are NOT hungry. JUST STOP EATING ALL THE TIME. Great Talk Doctors.

[@jbailey1898]

Davina Gray-the previous comment praised the doctor for loving his job and his patients. Then you said negative things about those patients and their habits. The key to this doctor’s success is that he recognizes there are many psychological causes for overeating, sometimes because of trauma and abuse that were no fault of the patient. Also, some people are genetically prone to secrete more insulin and store more fat. If doctors are to help their patients, they must be able to put judgment and sense of superiority aside and work with the metabolic problems people have. This doc is great! Follow his example. People with metabolic problems can’t be viewed as “dirty little piggies” or we cannot make a difference.

EAT food like it's going out of style ((as I said Stuffing their face)) like Crazy. i.e Have U seen a person eat 4 Hamburgers 3 steaks 2 hot dogs a bag of French Fries 🍟 & two Large Cokes❓.

[@mickjay7397]

I had this very issue. I'd train the hardest in my gym and diet most strictly but only to look like a couch potato. I tried many diets, counted calories, yada-yada and it didn't work. I knew something was off even if my bloods were normal. One day I told my doctor to do an insulin check-up. He calls me the next day panicking and tells me I have severe insulin resistance. Being a health professional, I knew it is a bad sign. I usually fast one month per year as a Muslim but I always gained weight in Ramadhan due to eating sweets and feasting big upon breaking my fast. And it wasn't until Dr. Pradip mentioned how to properly fast did it all connect because it's the FREQUENCY, TYPE OF FOOD, AND SUGARS that got me badly. Doing intermittent fasting this way changed everything and everyone is shocked by how my pear-shaped body is going back to that lean muscular look I used to have. I had a great physique before but the mid-gut region was a mess from all the inflammation, bloating and indigestion. I've been 2 months now and dropped weight like I never thought was possible. It's very empowering.

[@debbiedogs1]

@@julietalpha11 - the intermittent fasting is something you adjust for yourself, mainly. I think most people arrange it so they stop eating for 16 hours and have perhaps 3 meals in the remaining 8 hours. It depends on the person and their schedule and preferences. Others do 18 hours and eat within just 6 hours. That has been not so hard for me since I do not usually like to eat breakfast, so I can have my second meal and finish by 6 pm, then not eat until 12 noon or even 1 pm. It definitely makes me feel better and helps me lose weight, yet I do not always stick with it, so I need to get back at it!

Well so is illness. So is paying that pharmacy bill. And that hospital bill. It's darkly AMAZING how arrogant close-minded people can be. - I convinced my husband of the vast benefits of fasting, by fasting my way to a healthier weight, outstanding blood test results, tighter skin, a serious increase in energy, clearer mind and brain function, etc., etc., etc.!

If you don’t workout and you eat a certain amount of calories and switch to working out but eating the same, guess what that’s a calorie deficit aswell since you’re using more energy than usual and need more energy stores to make up for the extra energy being used. I’ve seen many eating styles and they all can work for different people depending on goals. I’ve seen professional dieticians and nutritionist recommended being on a deficit and fasting has been done since recorded history. Fasting is muscle sparring. I’ve lost 40 lbs since January and have gained strength. Fasting and calorie deficit during the work week and cheat days during the weekends.
