What do I eat for my meal? Usually a variant of this: imgur.com/a/WrPqt (This is from two years back, my diet is pretty different now) Also, the gif makes it look like I eat a massive quantity of food, but it's simply showing "before preparation" and "after preparation" (the purple looking drink is simply the vegetables blended up)
Most of my references are covered in the blog post above, if there is anything missing please let me know!
Let go of the food pyramid.

My father lived 105 years (1914-2019). From about 70 years he never had dinner. Only lunch. He eats his dinner early morning as breakfast. Almost never got sick. Just passed away naturally two days after telling me on the phone: Don't worry, I am not ill, just old.
Sounds like a great guy - RIP.
wow 1914-2019. rip
Wow, thank you for sharing your family story. 👪👍🏽🌈🌈
That's awesome
So how many meals a day do you mean ?
I dream everyday about the day I get to live on my own and eat healthy and what my body really wants to. Living with my family is too complicated, they make me feel like I'm crazy just bc I care about what I'm eating and they don't.
Start now anyway, my dear. It'll make it so much better when you do move on your own.
omg gosh same!
As someone who isn't in charge of the grocery list at my house, I totally feel this!
I did IF and 1meal/day for few months and it was great. But then I moved to my girlfriend, all gone.
I feel you. As a teen (before I learned to cook at 17) I'd ask my mom to make healthy food and she just said it would be too much of an effort to cook different food for everyone. I got stuck with that mentality of hers for like 5 years and it took a toll on my health. Now I've started OMAD, I hope it goes well.
Eat healthy, do exercise, take vitamin tabs and sleep well. That's what I've done and it's my 90th birthday next week. 😊
Tell em
Happy birthday Ole fella 🥳
All the best!
Happy birthday :)
Happy birthday!
I just want to let you, the creator of this video,know that a few years ago I left a comment mocking this idea in disbelief, today, I've been eating once a day for the past 4 months, I'm changing my life now, thank you!
Im proud of you Louie! When do you eat, and if you eat later than noon, do you feel as though you have enough energy in the morning?
@@katillack thank you! I do have enough energy throughout the day, thing is, I'm struggling with a sugar addiction I'm trying to kill of through OMAD, what's your situation?
@@louiealcala3623 When you crave sugar drink plain tea. That might help

i had to eat more than 3000 kcal a dat to maintain my mass and 4000kcal to gain weight and if i eat 3 meals a day like a normal person i would lose weight very quickly this does not apply for everyone(I do hardcore trainning)

Why is fasting so under-promoted? *BECAUSE THERE'S NO MONEY TO BE MADE*
You're not eating. So you're buying less food
You get healthier. Less money spent on supplements, hospital bills, insurance and drugs
It's so easy to do. You don't need a $99 course or coaching sessions on how to fast
Underpromoted? It's everywhere lol.
Exactly right!!
i hope you know you're starting wars with a lot of industries out there by fasting.
You're right, you dont need a $99 course or coaching sessions on how to fast. You need something more valuable, determination. Without being determined to changed your habits and to get healthier, many wont be able to continue a fast.
WOKE
Just so you know, the man who fasted for 382 days, was part of a research study. He was constantly monitored , and pretty much all throughout he was being given different types of tablets and injections in order to keep his body functioning properly. It’s important to note this.
People are too eager to jump into these "fasting fads" not realizing they're actually starving their bodies of nutrition. That's not healthy. People are uninformed and ignorant of what it means to be healthy.
I have no idea what to do
Don't do it at home
@@metarugia2176 we’ll stay healthier than you following the ‘fad’. Cry about it
Eating one meal a day is not the same as not eating anything for over a year . Water fasting is very healthy when done in moderation,your fat which has been stored will keep you alive .
I have been naturally drawn to eating one meal a day, for the last five years! I don't eat breakfast, skip lunch as I often don't have time, and often miss an evening meal. So generally eat one meal per day. I don't buy crisps, sweets, bisquits, cakes or chocolate... so don't snack. At 58 yrs old, my blood sugar levels are excellent - no risk of diabetes! And blood pressure levels are very low for a man of my age. I don't consume large quantities of carbs, seldom eat pasta or bread. Don't drink coffee, tea or cocoa, so don't buy milk or sugar, don't need to! I have energy levels through the roof!! And can out perform people way younger than me.... they get tired within an hour! Simple! Don't consume crap Your body dosnt need. Would love to see critical scientific studies that prove this - I am living it.
*@Andrew Nicholson... Do you eat a certain amount of calories per one meal a day or it doesn't matter?*
@@ghud828 G you have sparked a very early memory for me. Aged 6 a monitor lady forced me to eat warm slabs of beetroot ! I told her the smell? Taste me feel sick. She said/forced me to eat it! I made it into the third slab!! And then vomited bright neon pink everywhere, she panicked , sent me to the headmistress (wizened and in her 70s) who told me to show her the quickest way home - as I walked to was!! Out of the school gates over the road, down the alley round the back of the houses, thru the hole in the fence (which I helped the old lady thru!) Over the back alley dump, thru the back gate! And arrive the back door, where my mum was cooking dinner.... I can still remember the look on her face....utterly astonished... pink neon vomit kid- accompanied by head teacher..... never could go near beetroot again... the only! Thing that I can't eat!!
Now to convince everyone around me I'm fasting to be healthy and not because of an eating disorder

As a poor college student, I am so excited for this news! :D
Do not believe this garbage! you will literary collapse from malnutrition and your ovaries will dry up not to mention metabolic system will shut down
Lol, I'm only joking. But I believe the point is to still eat the same amount of calories, but for only over a span of 8 hour per day to give your body a break from digesting to give energy to other processes such as healing
Yep. And you just gotta eat when you're hungry. :)
homunculus7 not true. I was a professional athlete, a thoroughbred race jockey, eating salad, fruits, some meat once a day. Today, I’m still eating just once a day. Perhaps a little yogurt with my vitamins in the morning. I’m still very active and am into my 60’s. Zero vaccines, zero pills. I’ve NEVER been to a doctor for health. Seriously.
Ladies, use the NO HORMONE IUD. I had it removed one month, I was pregnant the very next month...after having the same tiny copper IUD for 17 years.
I did well at university, eating once a day. I walked out of my science lab job...and followed my love of horses. No regrets. Riding years ago, I was about 100Lbs., today my scale says 105. Skipped two lower grades, but, I suppose I inherited the high IQ, as well as the athleticism.
Also, I have an aversion to bread. Whole grain cooked cereal with pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds, etc....but, ZERO bread my whole life. I’m fine. I couldn’t even eat the hot dog bun as a child.
Thats a lie the first days are hard but then you simply get used too
Never eat anything a company makes.

Benefits of eating once a day.
1. You loose excessive weight.
2. You save money and time.
3. You don't need to care about what to eat for dinner or have dinner plans.
4. You learn to focus on what's important and also start respecting and loving the food you eat.

I have eaten one meal a day since I was 10 years old, and that is in the evening. I have not had the flu or a cold In over 30 years. I will be 60 next year and I am in perfect health.
What does the meal normally consist of? Thanks!
@@Zeus-X1 I eat spinach salads with nuts and seeds. Different baked vegetables each night. I make sure that I eat plenty of fruit and I make sure I eat an avocado everyday. It is a rarity that I eat anything processed. I eat fried foods once every Four to five months. I drink an organic beer with my supper. I drink soda About four times a year. I don't eat anything with preservatives or coloring. I have one cup of coffee every morning and that's all I consume until supper.
very smart from such a young age now you have the benefits
@@SuperBotanica The majority of my relatives were morbidly obese as was my immediate family also. People on both sides of my family all had heart disease, diabetes and cancer. I had decided at an early age to eat properly and exercise regularly. I was actually doing long distance cycling at the age of 10. People in my family ate atrociously. If people would learn to eat properly, they wouldn't have half of the health issues that they suffer from. I have always used logic and observed animals and nature to make informed decisions like, when an animal is born and is weaned from its mother, it is no longer necessary for them to ever drink milk and that is the same thing with people. Milk actually causes a lot of people's health issues. The dairy industry doesn't want you to know that!
@@bikestergrist7595 - I agree with you in everything. My luck was that I never liked milk and that I could never tolerate fast food and ready meals. but after the menopause the body went through major changes - hormones went crazy and my eating behavior changed - more sweeties and more snacks .... gaining weight - 10 kg in 10 years.started with keto 3 month ago and with mostly one meal a day, I am much better now. never saw a doctor in the last 12 years.I am the only one in my family who has no diabetes or blood pressure problems.
What a lot of people don't know is this... A lot of times when we think we're hungry, we're really thirsty!!!
"Drink more water"... Drink 4 to 8 oz of water, wait 15 minutes and most of the time, you'll see that you were more thirsty than hungry.
If not thirsty, then bored.
@@namastewellness
TRUE.... or Stressed.
Or honey
People say many dumb things
Actually, drinking can help flush the intestines a bit, push the food further and spread it out more evenly. That will also loosen up some muck and ease absorption thanks to a larger absorption surface. So drinking water will definitely make you less hungry. But make sure you drink only after you've digested the meal you want flushed for a few hours. Otherwise you'll mainly dilute the already digesting content, causing a more pumped up stomach, which is not optimal.
Woof! I couldn’t imagine having to eat 3x’s a day. I’ve been intermittent fasting for over a year now and I feel better than I have my entire life. But it’s not fasting anymore. It’s just the way I eat. 1 decent sized meal of basically whatever I wish. I don’t gain weight. I don’t get constipated. My blood work is beautiful!
Yes, fasting is actually an incomplete way of thinking of it because fasting is only one part (of course an important part). I recommend the Circadian Code if you want to learn more to inspire your friends :-)
Hey do u hve any tips for somebody who wants to try this lifestyle
@@sakuranovaryan9261start slow, if u normally eat at 8am push it to 10am then start eating only lunch and dinner then slowly push ur lunch at a later time and that practically turns into your early dinner.
I eat 3 times a day, avoid excess red meat and excess processed carbs. At age 84 have no health issues. My secret is mild treadmill exercise every other day. I weigh same as at age 25. Regular exercise is the key while I get to enjoy eating many things 3 times every day. Have done 50+ cruises so you know I like to eat.
I have been eating once a day for over 3 years now since I was in high school. I started for personal reasons that had nothing to do with my health but I did notice that my energy levels were normal if not better, I get hungry less often, I noticed I hardly ever crave sugar and sweets anymore, I lost weight, and overall feel normal if not better than before because now I’m less bloated all the time! I’m just now doing research on this type of diet and thankfully realizing that my crazy eating habits are actually not as ridiculous as my family and friends have been saying for years! Glad I ignored them on this one lol
Hey, I’m a teen just graduating high school and was thinking about going on this diet. One question I have is if I should plan my meal time around my gym time or is it okay to go to the gym in the morning and wait until afternoon to eat. Will I have enough energy for that or should I plan to go to the gym in the afternoon around when I eat. I say this bc I usually go to the gym in the morning and I’m quite curious on how ppl feel on his diet and their energy levels especially if they work out.

The Food pyramid was created by the Department of Agriculture, NOT the Health Department... Let that sink in.
It still had to be approved by health officials tho unless you are also gonna say that they are corrupt too...

Doni Bathuu look up the history of the food pyramid. It went through several iterations. The original designer finished it and submitted it but then the lobbyists to the department of agriculture complained that the quantities were going to hurt their industries because it suggested they eat less dairy and grain than people were so they doubled or Tripled the number of servings originally recommended
Fasting from food is only one type of fast. Fasting from entertainment, social media, your phone, any dopamine hits, and also from luxury like a hot shower or electricity (like camping in the woods) revitalizes you and purges the soul
Well spoken 👍
This is very simple, but what I needed to hear and understand right now- thank you.
Couldn't agree more. In long-distance hiking the term 'hiker hunger' exists, which basically means permanent hunger after the first one or two months of hiking. This is mainly because one burns around 4000 calories a day. I wonder if fasting/ketosis could have any positive effects in mitigating this phenomenon.
Holy Crap...never saw it that way
Purges the soul? Lady have you seen those movies?
And here I thought I was a sick freak for only eating 2 meals per day ever since I was 17.
Try 1 per day for 50 years.
Well done you. 🎊😉🙏♥️
I always did that in school and then I'm eating like 4 times a day and gained 50lbs like a fatass
I know people who have two or even one meal out of convinience, not even the health.
It doesn't work out if you only eat noodles and fast food tho
*You ARE a Sik TyPicaL Freak, for even Thinking wut you were Thinking!!!!*
I eat once a day sometimes is hard but I feel is the right thing to do, food doesn't take much of my time & I eat what I have without having to think much as long as is a healthy food, I'm 75 & feel GREAT & take no meds at all
it's just plain dumb.. eating less is ok, eating less frequent is not..
For few decades, I've been eating only twice a day cause I used to skip breakfast. The government imposes a lockdown at a national level during the outbreak of the pandemic. Being a senior citizen, I'm not allowed to go outside the residence and there's a scarcity of food. To cope with the situation, I just have to make do with one meal a day.
@@andres-rodriguez Bro its been shown that it doesnt matter what you eat, its about when you eat. Look it up bro. Dont need to maybe eat one meal a day but fasting is natural and extremely benefital. Most animals fast naturally if they cant catch food and they still have to survive and continue to hunt.
Just realised Being broke can be healthy too
Yes! Leaner and thinner.

@@tendainjovu721 thas the effects of it 😂😂
My entire family has been on OMAD since I can remember. We were poor living in New York City and had to make ends meet. My sister and I would only eat the school lunch which was free for us. We ate everything on the tray and even ate from kids that did not want their jello. My parents would make a huge pot of some type of stew with whatever meat was on sale that week. My father would take it to work every day along with a huge slice of bread. My mother made the bread to last the week. Little did I know that was the bread that these days hipsters call country bread that costs a pretty penny. My mother ate at work which was leftover food from conference rooms she cleaned at a fancy law firm. That was her meal. We were healthy and never seemed hungry. This was in the 1970s and 1980s. We continued to eat the same way even when we did have more money. OMAD was a way of life for us. I am 57 years old and I can honestly say that I have been on OMAD for at least 50 years. My parents are in their 80s and are not on any medication. They have slowed down but are otherwise healthy. I raised my children on OMAD and they too are sticking with it. They find that eating more than one meal a day slows them down and they feel sluggish. They are surprised that it is only now that people are finding the benefits of OMAD
cool
Thats awesome, omad increases all of our abilities
Wow. But sad. For both your parents to work and still not afford food. I don’t understand that but I love that there was no waste of food.
@@MythOfMe Hardship builds character
bearableguy123 🥰
This makes total sense. I've been doing it for the past two months and I have found many benefits.
Mainly, I don't need to "worry" or think about my next meal, nor use it as an excuse to procrastinate.
I've done One meal a day for 4-5 months now and I feel much more energized, as well as doing keto/carnivore - proper human diet, I noticed that I no longer feel really hungry for about 20 hours - so the one meal a day feels really natural. Before I used to get that severe sinking feeling of blood-sugar drop, feeling negative, down, and weak when I had not eaten for 4-5 hours, now I only feel normal hunger, with no mood drop, no dizziness, no weakness, just a normal urge for getting some food, but it isnt even like I have to have it within 2 minutes like before - I can notice the hunger and still not eat for another hour or two without any severe negative physical reactions, so all this encourages me to try actual fasting for a day or two and see where it takes me, and maybe go on to trying a whole week or something, at least on very much less food. I would not advocate it for anyone with other health problems of course, although I'm sure it can help against lots of illnesses, and all the evidence I've found so far more than suggests it can help against cancer, as more and more evidence points to glucose and sugar as the cancer cells most prized source of developing and spreading.
Thank you for sharing this as it inspired me further. All the best from Oslo, Norway.
I was 100-pound overweight. After I watched your video I started OMAD the same day and 2 and a half month later I lost 40 pounds and still losing. You have changed my life. I can't thank you enough for showing me the way.
what do u eat in that one meal?
Almost everything. Carbs, meat, fish, vegetables. Almost no sugar. No soda. Only tea, coffee, water.
One Meal A Day Diary Ni mk
One Meal A Day Diary I lost close to 50lbs and I didn't have to reduce the number of meals...which normally is 2 meals (meat and veggies) and, for lunch....if I'm not at gym but, 3-4 times a week that's where I am because, I like to wait until my brekkie is digested (which is ALWAYS porridge...(what I've learned to call oat meal and/or Ready Brek)) so I can exercise and burn more calories during the work out. When I return home later in day, usually a couple of hours before we eat Tea, I'll open a can of tuna, drain and add lemon juice, and eat it. For Tea we don't eat large meals...this evening I had a good sized piece of cod and a black cup of coffee. As I've said, I've managed to lose close to 50lbs which is knocking on the door of 4 stone. The biggest and best thing I've done is completely stop drinking Sodas and, my biggest addiction of Energy Drinks, especially Mt. Dew's Energy Drink. I often drank 2 litres of that shit every day! Most of my weight gain, which was a lot even tho I was never a big meal eater, was down to my love for Mt. Dew Energy Drink (not the original Mt. Dew). I also stopped eating junk food, such as crisps and cakes. Through cardio exercise and being certain I was in a Caloric Deficit every day and, giving up the crap I was drinking and eating I have not only lost weight I've trimmed 7" off of me waist....which is even more important to me. I desperately want to get back into my 36" waist jeans and out of the XXL and XXXL clothing I had to wear. I still need to lose a further 2" off me waist to achieve that goal but, I will do it! I was in denial about my weight for too long because, I wasn't eating a lot and only drinking crap. I was shocked when I hit 7" mark and, still couldn't snap those jeans! I got injured in 2004, which caused me to be in a plaster....on me leg....with 0 weight bearing, 3 separate times, and I haven't worn jeans, or any other trousers, for 14 years now! I've only been at this for about 5 months, so far. As long as a person consumes less calories than they have managed to burn, they will lose weight...exercise is not really needed to lose weight but, it helps in other areas as well. I will stick to this until I reach my goal of weight loss and inches lost on waist then, I want to add more muscle. I'll be 56 in Jan and, I want to, hopefully, be at or very near my goal. I believe this can be a life changing course and, something I believe I can follow the rest of my life!
Congratulation! This is a big achievement. You are correct about calories in -calories out. It doesn't matter how. OMAD is easier for me, but not the only way. I love a big meal, better than 2-3 smaller meals. I count calories not to overeat. No soda drinks for me as well. I used to drink Cola a lot. Not anymore. No sweets, but fruits. So sugars at all. Not something I need or crave. I am 41 and very happy to loose almost 50 pounds. I got about 40 pounds to go, but I am already feel healthy and light. Went from size 41 to 34 in 3 months. OMAD was the best solution for me. I don't work out. I do swim a little, that's all. Good luck! Thanks for sharing your story.
I do OMAD also. My aim was to fix my insulin resistance. I have reversed my diabetes and IR. I have lost well over 110 pounds going from 48 inch waist to a 34. I feel great.
What time of the day did you eat
@@fiorillomark 5pm
@Fabrizia R Your achievements are great! and it mirrors mine pretty much. I do not eat grains or carb except what I get from my vegetables.I too have no appetite even at meal time. Remember my goal was to fix my diabetes. The weight loss was a side benefit.
i dont care what time i eat as long as i only eat one meal a day
but i mostly eat around 7-11 AM
We are the commander in chief of our health not doctors.
I can relate. I started doing Ramadan since i was 13 yrs old. Now i am 32 and i dont feel hungry for a whole month of fasting.
I remember when i always wondered why i was energetic during my fasting days !
I read later that my digestive system is using less blood.
This year i am 15 days fasting and already lost 5 KGs ( that i gained during this pandemic)
So you only do one meal at iftar/maghreb?
You're supposed to be fasting all year. Meaning doing just like fasting but eating during the day. Ramadan is flipping your biological clock and eating at night for a month. You're supposed to eat two meals. One very light meal like a fruit and another big one after 6-8 h.
Great report.... thanks.
I've already been doing just this... eating one meal a day. I've also cut out meat (well, to be honest, mammals, I still eat chicken). I can eat what I want, but I eat one meal a day. I do try to eat well, but not obsessed by it. I've dropped weight to correct BMI. (171cm / 56 yrs old / 64kg) I've also stopped drinking alcohol. I sleep 8 hours - beautifully. I can CERTAINLY recommend making the change. The hardest part is getting my friends to accept my change, always pushing me to drink, eat more. (not surprisingly, they're all overweight)
I NEVER thought i could stop drinking, it has ALWAYS been a big part of my lifestyle... but now, I can't imagine going back to me old unhealthy self.
The more people learning about fasting the happier I am. I used to do a 16hr fast every day when I started, but over the last year I've gone to a 23hr fast. I have lost over 80kg and am finally in my ideal weight range for my height. No diet. No exercise. Simply fasting for 23hrs with nothing but water. Surprisingly I find it easier having one less thing (food) through the day to be thinking about. I don't feel guilty about having a pizza for dinner occasionally, etc. I've even got 3 colleagues onboard and even though they're only doing 12-18 hour fasts, the girl doing an 18hr has lost 15kg and is looking excellent already. The reason I first tried this was because I heard a quote one time saying "The human body was designed to walk 25 miles a day and hunt sabretooth cats, not sit at a desk all day eating bread." and it literally changed my outlook completely. Early man would have got up on an empty stomach, done various things around the camp, then late afternoon gotten hungry and either gone foraging or hunting. Their day didn't revolve around eating and ours shouldn't either I believe.
Well put
u had leeague
Yeah, each time I go back to 3 meals per day for a week, my stomach becomes so painful
Well said
are you even walking 25. miles though
i completely agree
Good video, i do the same thing.
I eat: two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda. Once every day.

Christ advocated fasting. The health benefits are amazing.
Coming back just to say, I watched this in early 2019 while starting to get serious about IF, and it helped me get started with habit changes that produced 20# weight loss, improved blood work, etc. Thank you!
I never believed in the 3 Meals a Day crap. I stuck with what made sense: eat when I'm hungry. No need to force myself to swallow food because some food graph told me too.
Listen to your body.
but if you eat 3 meals a day for years your body gives a hunger sign 3 times a day around the time you normally take those meals...
I don't feel hungry but I've gotta start eating more because I think I have low blood pressure as I've been seeing black when I stand up, feel weak, and get hot flashes.
My body say. Eat every sec

My neurosurgeon said I required fusion of 5 lumbar vertebrae and gave me 8 weeks to lose weight. I started to walk everyday and only eat once per day. Funny thing after 8 weeks I had lost 45 lb and had no more back pain... I never had the surgery. I have continued walking and eating once per day for a year and a half and to date have lost 75 lb. … my fitness level (cardio, flexibility and muscular strength) is back to my days as a college gymnast. Eat to live not live to eat... one body one life!
Very inspirational, well done. The body can and does heal itself if you give it chance!
So u lost 45 in 8 weeks and it took 1 more year to lose 30? Hmmm
@@zakiyyahdrye9557 I had similar results but I only did the 16 hour fasts rather than 24. I lost 95 lbs over roughly 6 months but probably close to 75% of it was in the first half. My guess is probably due to the amount of extra calories burned from just doing everyday stuff carrying all that weight around. Think about it this way. If you are wearing a 70 lb weighted suit all day its like working out non stop. I am no expert, this was just the assumed reasoning I came up with.
Raarz Makes sense plus you are not going to lose constant weight as you are not going to build muscle at a constant rate. If that was the case every person that goes to the gym will be bigger than hulk or every diet will put you like Skeleton.
Wow! That's wonderful!
I'm 52, been eating once a day most of my life. I have never weighed more than 170 lbs, usually I weigh around 155 lbs. Never more than 17% body fat... No health issues!
I believe this in full because I came across this personally not because I wanted to, but because I wanted to save up some money as a student here in Nagoya, Japan. I had financial difficulties and decided to start saving up by eating less or not eating at all. The longest I stayed without food (excluding water) in my first trial was 4 days. Since those 4 days, it seemed my body adjusted (or reset); I did away with the food I once craved. In the process, my alcohol consumption was reduced in the process because I had this mentality that alcohol must be balanced with the amount of food consumed. Its been over a year now that I’ve been eating one meal in 1 to 3 days and alcohol consumption dropped to about a wine bottle a month unless, off-course, I have something to celebrate, like my birthday, etc., which I normally compensate with equivalent amount of freshly cooked food. I feel great, I lost some weight from the center, I feel much lighter and much more alert, and I realized I saved up more than I did before. Ultimately I begin to realize that the human body can survive without food after all, so what was all these eating about? In fact I believe that eating speeds up the aging process. Nature didn’t create us to consume everything, nature made us to balance the universe by taking in the right amount and giving back the right amount.

I began eating one meal a day bevause of poverty. It's all I can afford. Instead of hardship and want, I dropped forty pounds, feel better than I have in years! We eat way more than we *need,* we tend to eat what we *want.* And those wants are based on feeling, emotion, and cues from advertisers.
Wow!! What you say is so true!!
I fasted for the last 3 days and it was great
I never felt really hungry or unmotiveted and I lost over 4 kg
BUT one thing nobody ever says is that pooping after 3 days (or more) is just the worst!
@@fatballs148 hi. May I ask why that is?
i hope that anyway finally you have got out of poverty
How do you get enough calories from just one meal? I think I'd have to drink most of my calories to be able to fit it all.
I eat one full meal a day and it is the best decision I ever made.
Beginning this kind of eating schedule was difficult, which is probably why so many people don't partake in it. After a week the hunger 'pains' stop and then after the first week one-meal-a-day is absolutely effortless. You just have to make it through that first week.
Wow. I’ve been on intermittent fasting mostly OMAD since last year and i feel great than ever. Thank you for making this video.
It never made sense to me that you have to eat breakfast and it's the most important meal of the day because I always had to force myself to eat in the morning and felt sick after it..
hot kebab me too.
Me too, I'm literally never hungry in the morning.
It's a ploy to spike your insulin in the mornings causing you to feel much hungrier throughout the day. The hungrier you get, the more you potentially eat and drink.
Without forcing themselves to eat every morning, many find that they can go until the evenings before eating. However, this means people spend less on food, snacks, and drinks. So businesses want you to spend, and governments want you to stimulate the economy with your spending.
Because you're a pussy
I dont feel any different between eating 3 meals a day and the 16/8 fasting.
I like that last comment. Eat when you need to. Not when the clock says to.
All we have to do is listen to our bodies. We don't set a time to use the bathroom for example.
My neighbor does just that. He NEEDS to eat every hour...
Yeah
I don't have patterns of time when eating. And I ate any I fancy during my breakfast. Why should I stick one kind of breakfast, I have many to choose from.
So true…. having this conversation with my mum for over 25 years now.
Mum: Always dieting and "having to be carefull"
Me: Eating whatever I want, whenever I want (what comes down to about 1500kcal a day, maybe a bit over 2000 on a very active day) and shopping jeans at the kids department...
Love these videos man, so informative. Be safe everyone and don't go over board with stuff.
i once had greek doctor that advertised eating only one meal a day & that was "lunch" only. never before a nap or evening bedtime!
Eating only one meal at lunch time makes perfect sense. That was probably the same time humans 1 million years ago ate. May be as late as 300,000 years ago.
Interesting. I recently realized that when ever I am in the office and don't take breakfast, I am like 80% more productive as well as super focus. And I feel light.

Chuck norris hernandez fraturn huarez de leon Chuck norris hernandez fraturn huarez de leon I’m curious because I’ve been feeling a little skeptical of his videos since I saw one about growing up and how alternatives to school were hinted at being far superior to public school being one of the topics. While I agree that public school is not the hotbed for education and learning the alternatives are just as inaccessible as charter school or other private schooling institutions and may not even be the best for for your child because some are specialized to work on certain aspects of educational theories. Also I never really took the time to look at his sources mostly in part that I try not to look at UA-cam for education unless it’s something involving visual and auditory learning such as demonstrating a skill such as a boxing technique,acrobatics, or other such body kinesthetics
Chuck norris hernandez fraturn huarez de leon so I’ve finally decided to do my own research on some of his other videos and I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s well meaning and actually does do research it’s just that wether it’s just to save time or something else he just leaves important info or cherrypicks what he wants to talk about. I see his videos more so as misinformed but in the ballpark

Yoga, meditation, and fasting are three keys to health. I am so glad I found out about fasting this early in life at age 31, thanks to Dr. Pradip Jamnadas.
And then other specialists recommend having 5-7 *small* meals per day. Tell me again, how can I trust *anyone* at all?
Try both out for 3 weeks. see which one makes you feel better.
@@atleyflenner exactly. Everybody should find out what works best for self.
5-7 small meals= 3 meals xd
Don't trust them anyone who tells you to eat 5-7 meals a day. They don't know what they are talking about! I used to do that and I ended up gaining more weight that I wanted to and was diagnosed with pre-diabetes...I began intermittent fasting, lost 25 lbs in 6 months, reversed by pre-diabetes, I am on no medication, no chronic illness and looks 20 yrs younger than my age. I m 63 looks 43...I ended up being certified as a diabetes and weight loss coach and my center is in partnership with the Center for Diseases Control to help people lose weight and reversed their pre-diabetes.Believe me, follow the fasting recommendations and you will see for yourself!
For me 5-7 is not working even the portion is small. Some experts say u will gain more weight if u eat 2-3 times a day with moderate portion than 5-7 small meal. Its totally blunder. U will gain more weight. I've tried it. N now I shift to 2 meals per day moderate portion is suitable meal. But last meal make sure before sunset. N 30 mins walk everyday in the morning as my exercise. No gym or not even a brisk walk, just a decent n normal walk for 30 mins per day. Approx lose 2 kg per month.
but there is a small village in japan that they have 5 meals a days and they are in the record of longest and healthiest living village. I think its not about one or more meals, its how your manage your diet and what you eat plus the environment and lifestyle you have
I think each meal may be a lot smaller than normal.
each meal is no bigger than the palm of their hand,i know what you are talking about,i've seen a documentary about them and the key is to not eat until you feel full
This same village also attributed their longer age span to the having a job and spending time with loved ones and friends essentially giving every person a meaningful purpose until death.
Yes I've seen the meals and read all the studies you can't cherry pick the information you like and the information you do not. A combination of their diet, family and social life, and work status makes them who they are. That's what I'm getting at, diet alone will not carry you to age 100+.
I've been eating once a day for 6 months now, and I'm really enjoying it. I've lost 40 pounds, and I'm able to enjoy going out to dinner and enjoying drinks with friends without the stress of worrying if I'm going to gain weight or go over my daily caloric needs. The only part I find annoying about doing this is the judgment I receive from less informed people when they find out I only eat once a day. I avoid bringing it up in casual conversations.
Cookie Franco I don't talk about it to normies....they have way too many opinions about it...of course, not having done it themselves!

Даяна Гарис I start by drinking black coffee all morning until 12 or 1 pm. I work in an office, so I'll just sip on black coffee to take away any feelings of hunger. After lunch time, I will drink water. I get off at 4:30 pm, and will exercise as soon as I get home. I usually get home around 5:00 pm. I'm still drinking water at this point. For dinner, I will usually eat an omelet with brown rice or tortillas. I use a lot of veggies at dinner time. Sometimes I grab fast food for dinner. I'm in such a caloric deficit by dinner time that it really does not matter what I eat at dinner time. I will not gain weight. I'm 6 feet 2 inches, a man, and I weigh 190 pounds at the moment. I'm also a degreed Nutritionist.
14K dislike? Why? This video does something you rarely see on UA-cam. He cited his sources. 🤦🏾
Some people just think they know better, annoying fuckers tbh. He's not forcing them to believe, he provides info according to his own research.
Some people just can't give up eating more than their fill
Thes are from bots from the foodmanufacturing companies
i think one of the primary reasons i that when he cited that there was no requirement of carbs in our body and then cited an anecdote ... though many people who would have disliked believe that the primary sources of brain fuel is glucose rather than ketones( which according to studies is actually true)...thats what would have triggered them
Anyone that has done keto or intermittent fasting has had to deal with the barrage of concern from friends (usually overweight ones) about the health problems with keto and IF. Guessing the dislikes are from those type of people.

Great video. Love how gracefully you transition from one diet to another.
Yes, I absolutely love your content; please do continue to post.
Man I just wanna say thank you for these videos. Since I've started eating once a day and doing intermittent fasting - cutting basically all sugar and most carbs I've lost 16 lbs in 3 weeks, and not feeling like I'm starving myself. Having great energy and I've noticed my food cravings and hunger reduced tremendously. I have a totally different feeling and relationship with food. Again, thank you!
That's amazing progress. Keep going
how did you begin?
In your only meal you eat, do you eat bellow your Basal Metabollic Rate? What kind of food you eat?
you would have reached the same exact goal by just cutting carbs and sugars.
Dieting is just like everything else: you kust start. There is no "best start". That said, if your plan is to loose weight you should just cut carbs and sugars (0g). Fasting achieves little else than making one's life less normal. You can fake an allergy to gluten so you'd be completely socially acceptable. I diet like that every 3 years or so for 3 months, and everytime I cut at least 10 kg, without loosing muscle mass. The secret is simply getting protein to the medical standards (around 100g for an adult male of 70-80kg), vitamins and lots of greens. I tried eating once a day, but I'd stuff my face in such a way it made me fatter.
I came off all added sugar 14 months ago. It took a few weeks, but now I find so much natural sweetness in proper foods. My sense of taste has completely recalibrated. The variety of diet has increased, and having no sugar craving is such a release. I actually now feel nauseous at the thought of sugary food. Yes I have lost weight, yes my skin is clearer and BP at 100/65, resting pulse 56. It’s never too late. I’m 65.
how high was your BP before quitting sugar Will?
It wasn’t too high, at 118/81. Lower definitely feels better.
How did you do it?
Will O , awesome blood pressure and pain law rate! Numbers don’t lie!
I also want to come off added sugar. What foods could you eat when you did this. Sugar has given me so much problems. I really want to stop but the cravings. I think I'm going to try this
I'm started intermittent fasting from January 2021, I feel better, lighter, more focused, don't feel hungry during fasting, better sleep and most importantly glowy skin 😋
This video changed my life. It convinced me to start doing OMAD 5 years ago and I’ve been thriving ever since 👍 thanks!
I eat when 'I'm hungry, drink when I'm thirsty and sleep when i'm tired,
What is that, some kind of new fad diet?
Wow. Imagine that. You rebel. ;)
lol common sense
Same here but it's a pain trying to convince my partner who wants us to have our dinner together around the same time each day ,I don't eat breakfast ,just tea , maybe a snack later,then dinner about 6 an that's it for me ,I only eat when I feel like eating that's it ,some people eat even if they're not hungry ,I know people that get realy stressed and cranky when there hungry ,that doesn't make sense.
Linden Village I get really cranky and stressed when I am hungry and it is because of low blood sugar. I am diabetic and eat 3 healthy but light meals 3 times a day with up to two snacks if my blood sugar requires it (fruit and veggies with a little bit of flesh). I’ve lost 110 pounds over 3 years. No processed foods. I don’t want to live super long. I’m 62 and grateful to be this old because my only sibling died at 55. I have NO living family. I just want the (hopefully) 20 years I have left to be as healthy and independent (no nursing home)as possible. Eating once a day only is a horrible quality of life for me. A shorter life but being able to eat when I feel hungry is WORTH the trade off of a few years of life.
“He’s 30 years older than me and looks the same age as me” I’m telling you man, these Japanese people don’t age, they just get younger
lmao
The Japanese dietary lifestyle is rather distinctly different, their meals are quarter in portion than as compared with what the rest of us world eat. I've been fascinated by their culture, their history and their approach to life. It'd be interesting to adopt their dietary patterns and see where it goes, I'm certain it'd be a world of improvement.
The mediterranean diet seems to keep people pretty healthy.
Hirohiko Araki: *Sweats profusely*
My brother spent some time in Japan and he said almost nobody is fat. They eat fish and vegetables, with a small bowl of rice, for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is some kind of gruel.

you can use fasting too for stopping smoking habit, i was fasting for 5 days and never craves to smoke and my nose back sensitive to cigarettes smoke like before my addiction
Icecream is tough. Sugar is tough. Natural peanut butter is your friend. I put that **** on everything.
This is not a novel concept, but rather a well-known truth. But, it interferes with consumption - it's about money.
I see how industry could've importuned the govt. to adopt the carbs and dairy quotidian recommendations, two of the most overrated food groups imo.
Silly. If you do physical work you need to eat regularly.
So how did one guy fast for 300+ days without consuming anything, specially carbs? Oh surprise, surprise, the liver provides all the glucose your brain needs. The idea that your body needs carbs more than fat and protein came from the food industry because they want to produce cheap food for the masses.
True...more lucrative to have people get overweights and unhealthy and then bank in as insurrance, doctors and fitness studios. In the end all based on the constant need of economic growth for industry nations to stay functioning.
So even better for the individual to share the facts and experience with this alternative way of living.
shamanic can be
I'm going to work toward this plan. What I found years ago, and since abandoned, was to precede any fast with dropping carbs and sugar as much as possible for a week or two. Then the effects of fasting without food for several days was easier and actually rewarding.

Due to covid recently ive slacked off and managed to become the heaviest ive been ever. After starting 20 - 4 fasting i was very shocked to realize that i actually have alot more energy mentally and physically and ive still been able to lift the same weight/frequency and if anything due to wanting to change ive actually been walking or running every day too. Ive been going for nearly 2 weeks now and im going to push it till i can see my abs again.

I saw a beautiful woman - when I was about 16 yrs. old - where I am from in Santa Barbara, CA. She was being interviewed on the street by a local news crew, which asked her what her "secret" was to stay slim.
She answered>"I eat when I am hungry"
That made perfect sense to me, and still does.
It is deceptively simple, but true.
I naturally only eat once a day, because I eat only when I am hungry.
...but depending on what I am doing, every once in a while I eat enough for a football team in one day, and other days? I won't eat at all.
I EAT when I am hungry.
If I am not, I don't eat.

I agree, but I'd love to add that one should start "eating when they're hungry" only at a certain point, for example, after your puberty has ended. I have always been that person who only eats when I am hungry (and I do eat healthy) since I was a kid, and it resulted in who I am today: healthy, slim (95-100lbs), but short (5'0) whereas my family members are all 5'4 and above.
Thank you
Listen to your body is the biggest takeaway here. But the mind is very powerful, especially after it has been conditioned!
This is great advice and when I tell it to people I always have to add- And stop eating when you're not hungry. Don't stop when you're "full", stop eating when the feeling of hunger goes away.
I'd say to only do that once you're out of puberty. Nutrition is vital to your growth and brain function, your metabolism is higher at that age so you should be fine eating three meals. I followed the one meal plan for 1 year at age 13 and I ended up getting very very irregular periods and stopped growing in height. There's no diet that suits all people, that also includes this one. Your frontal lobe is still developing at that age, so I'd definitely be careful.
I eat 1 meal a day. It starts at 8 AM and ends at 11 PM.
haha!!!! funny!!! :)

@@TheMrTomer you have a fast metabolism . You are doomed dude , except if you eat a lot of food (healthy one , you need to keep a balance to keep your body healthy) .

I can gain some but it stops at a certain point ( i'm 52kg for 1m80 for now ) .
I'm tired to be so skinny : sport do almost nothing on me ( the results are so slow) , i have to wear oversized clothes or i have to search the perfect one for days , i'm often hungry but i'm full quickly . After i'm full i will probably be hungry much quicker , the little exercice just makes me hungry .

I always felt the whole "you can't skip breakfast" idea was a load of nonsense.
Break down the word
Break fast
That's all it is. It's simply breaking your fast.
I think there is probably wisdom in the idea that you should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. But, I do think from what this man is saying, that it does end up being almost impossible to keep up the routine. I'm definitely going to give this a try!
You just need two meals a day-lunch and dinner. Then you’re fasting from dinner to lunch the next day.
Tbh I think it's different for every person. I personally can't survive without breakfast (trust me I've tried) although I could live with a late one.
Alison Pauline Moore you can you just can’t put it in your mind that you can do it. i was like that but then i started wanted to sleep in instead of waking up early to make breakfast and get ready for work on time. so i slept in and skip breakfast. then during work i don’t like eating lunch because i get lazy when i eat so i just drink water and maybe a snack. around 4 pm that’s when i have my dinner then that’s it. so my mind is to busy thinking about working i don’t think about food or hunger to much. on my days off that’s a different story i constantly think about eating because that’s all i think about and knowing the fridge is right there doesn’t help. so i go to the gym or hiking just to get away and keep my mind busy. as far as surviving from one meal a day it’s possible.
Muslims, fast for 29 to 30 days per year that’s in Ramadhan + 6 days from the next month that’s in Shawwal , there is also 3 days in every Islamic month the 13th, 14th and 15th which is basically when it’s a full moon 🌕

Most everybody thought it and chuckled, the few that did not are likely just unimaginative.
I came to that conclusion as well. Thinking it was the next logical thing to do based on that statement, 'I store food in my brother's stomach."
I started eating one meal a day a year ago after watching this video and I lost all my body fat and I look 10 years younger, still to this day I am continuing this method and I feel amazing!
Thats so motivational! Thanks
What kind of foods do you eat?
@@KyleWilliamsMusic1 keto
People are not meant to be 'grazing' on food like cattle.
Have a Turkish breakfast, and then only dinner in the evening.
Don't forget to keep hydrated.
Do you just eat all your food in like a 1 hour window or what?
I have been eating one meal per day for about 20 years now.
1. It started in my teens when I stopped eating in the morning because I preferred to sleep longer by skipping breakfast.
2. Then as an adult I started to teach sports lessons after work. So, I had to eat dinner around 16:00 to not get nauseous.
3. Lunch (12:30) and dinner (16:00) times got so close together, that I simply merged them. Hence one meal a day for me.
Awesome video man, youe were really informative from the begining. You knew about David Sinclair long before everybody else. All your videos give me alot of information
I was on 2 meals daily for years, saved money, traveled overseas, lived life. Then I got married, now I'm miserable and fat AF
very funny boomer humor
So do something about it if your miserable
😂😂😂😂😂
Don't throw in the towel my man. As a married man, I have to let the family eat throughout the day while I wait until the evening. Get after it.💪
Hahahahaha
I'm seeing a lot of hate towards this video, so I figured I'd share my results after trying it out for about 6 months.
During the 6 months prior to watching this video, I was following conventional weight loss wisdom. I was avoiding fatty foods, trying to eat smaller portions, and looking for healthier meals like a turkey sandwich instead of a cheeseburger. In addition to watching my diet, I was doing 2 hours of MMA training per day, Monday-Friday. During this period of time I lost about 15 pounds.
After watching this video I decided I'd give fasting a try (plus low carb intake to reduce hunger). I'm now about 6 months deep, and have lost 55 pounds during that time. Instead of eating once per day, I eat one meal around 3pm, and a small meal around 10pm (allowing myself time to digest before training, and post-workout protein). For the remainder of the day I consume only water. Despite fasting, my energy levels are higher, I'm almost never hungry, and I feel far better.
One thing to note - I was having my issues with energy levels during MMA training at the start. I remedied these by including a wider variety of fruits and vegetables in my pre-workout meal along with appropriate vitamins to ensure balanced nutrition.
Hopefully this helps someone. I gave fasting a try and lost 4x more weight than I did previously and I feel great.
vianie nah. a comment suffices.
vianie That'd be cool if I could do that but I've never made a video before. Just figured I'd share my experience well I was reading the comments.
Tyler a 7 hour eating window isn't exactly 1 meal a day.
Paul Davies True. I'm eating more like 1 meal and a post workout snack. However, a normal person could easily do one meal a day without any issues. The only reason I eat a second time is for post-workout protein, which isn't neccesary on my rest days. Anyways, I just saw a lot of people implying the guy in the video doesn't know anything and that eating less is unhealthy, etc, and I wanted to share the impact made on me when trying to implement it.
If you lost about 15 pounds in 6 months then there is clearly something that you are not doing right with your regimen. If you were to only reduce your calories by roughly 500 and do MMA training you you could have lost that in 3 months. You are A) either lying to your self by overestimate your daily deficit or B) you are binge eating too much, then it doesn't matter if you eat healthy foods. As for conventional diets, which in itself is becoming a miss used word. If you actually look up suggestions you would see "increase your veggies l, reduce some fats, avoid added sugars eat more proteins", stuff that everyone thinks they follow but they clearly don't.
Of course you lost more weight if you found a regimen that suited your lifestyle better. You talk like you've found a magic cure when in fact all you've done is to actually stick to a diet that you can execute without having to think about what you eat all the time. The secret you've done is "tricking" your self into eating less, without having the constant struggle of thinking abut food all the time. This, what most people do who manage to stay lean after a weight loss. Congratulations on the weight loss and doing what every trainer wants their clients to do, lifestyle change.
"eat when you need to not when the clock says you should" - totally doable for people who have designated lunch breaks and are schedule driven due to family / kids.
I am very much bound by a strict work schedule and what I do is carry around a small lunch box, I keep it at my work station and I keep it on the counter at home where I can get to it easy. Inside are several small sandwich bags filled with berries, nuts, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, broccoli & cauliflower, orange slices, and some times even some jerky.
I work a hard physical labour job in mining. I eat once a day. You don’t NEED to eat during the day most of the time, you simply WANT to.
@@michaelhutchinson1789 Right. yes.. and I am an astronaut. Cool story bro.
@@blacksaibot6158 so butt hurt, he's saying once you get used to it and your metabolism repairs, especially with a high fat low carb diet, your body will become more hardy/closer to how you are supposed to be. less hangry more hungry
@@chrismoore1372 "butt hurt" oh please be more original
I love your videos. Very detailed and simple to understand explanation. Thank you for the efforts.
Great job! As an ex catholic monk, I have had a lot of experience with fasting. I fasted even before entering the monastery. Everything you’ve said here is something I’ve been studying for years; your presentation is very thorough and well presented. Thank you!
tbh because i was lazy i didnt even eat breakfast and just went to school the whole day till dinner, and i never felt particularly hungry or anything but my friends kind of always pushed me to eat so im stuck again to the 3 meals per day. The social 'pressure' was because they thought it was unhealthy but now i have a reason to tell them 'shut up nothing will happen'
ShirouAtsuya when I was a kid I never ate until dinner time either, trying to harness whatever i had back then.
not true. something will happen, you get healthier.
Same here. All my life people would comment, why aren`t you eating, eat something, it`s lunch time, it`s break time....I never ate in social events, I just was shy and all. Now those same people tell me this intermittent fasting, you did that all the time and now it`s a new diet craze.....I pretended I knew it all along, lol, but in contrary I just hated eating in public due to social anxiety.
ShirouAtsuya Nope....This info is a bunch of hockey puk. It's not healthy. Listen to your friends.
Tiffany Dinh i subscribed. I like to give new channels a try
For years I've been eating when I was hungry and not when convention said I should. This happened initially because I was too lazy to cook so I began skipping meals.
These days I rarely eat more than once a day, I never eat huge meals and I have some days when I just don't eat at all.
I still cook my meals with too much meat and I end up eating a little of it along with the rice or vegetables and giving the rest to my dog :)
I have 65 years I'm fit, I make my living as a professional skydiver and I have no intention of stopping any time soon.
This may become a requirement not a choice for many people, if it isn't already.
This guy learned Japanese to figure out how to eat
I think this guy is Japanese
@Giritto aproved
He lives in japan. He said it in the video...
😂
The land of suicide and hikikomori
I'm x Military. The work I did was Special Ops. Often alone, You would eat when you could get food, some times a week when you got nothing. Leaving the Army I went to Canada, no House, no Shops, no people for 5 years. In winter some times no food for 2 weeks. I am now 67, Even back at base or leave, I could only eat once-per-day, some times even now, I eat a meal and not eat again for 4-5 days. I am fit, been hospital once for a gunshot, that's it in 67 years no flu or colds, even out in the wild at 45, bellow. Your body needs less food than you think, And will adjust to any amazing thing you put it through. Train yourself and your body trains with you.
Love you man !
Love this you gave me a new perspective
The body adapts very well to just about any routine its subjected to it for a long period of time, its the mental part thats challenging, but again thats down to the individual. Stay head strong
A strong body supports a strong mind, eh?
So after a while you don't get hit with hunger pains? I'd really like to try this
I'm trying to do this consistently. I find that if I don't eat breakfast or "forget" to eat because of a busy day, I can literally go through the rest of the day not eating and then finally have something in the evening. The key for me is not to break my fast early.
*Wut about MILK Products????*
I have the same experience :)
Same here. If I eat breakfast, I’m doomed. If I “forget” to eat breakfast then I can go all day without feeling hungry.
