#4But how to tell the difference between old wisdom and old bullshit?

#5Worth noting that Herbert M Shelton was a smallpox anti-vaxxer: "The mortality from VACCINATION is much higher than that from smallpox" (from the same book quoted in the article) and generally a quack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_M._Shelton

#6This just reads as marketing prattle. Modern research [1][2] shows that our bodies will only prioritize loading up our muscles with carbs if we eat in the morning, as it is an energy-intense process which requires about 10% of the calories consumed and only really makes sense for our bodies to do if we eat at the start of a day.

#7Regardless of whether or not its a good idea for general life, in terms of dieting/weight loss, going to 1 meal a day has made a huge difference for me. With one meal per day, it would be difficult to eat enough calories to gain and/or not lose weight. Also, after about 2 weeks your stomach capacity shrinks which makes it even easier to lose weight because you actually feel full/satisfied on meals that used to seem like snacks to me. Those first two weeks are hell though. These days, if I eat 3 meals in a day then I feel awful and bloated. To anyone who is struggling with giving up the food you love for weight loss: you don't need to be replacing your pizza with salad. Just eat less.

because apperantly they didn't eat breakfast? Is that what it's saying? Sorry but I think there's a lot of assumption here...

#9I found this interesting -
How many people today use a meal as a reward for a hard day’s work? How many use it as a “festival” to enjoy with friends and/or family? How many take the time after the meal to relax and let the body digest what they have eaten?

#10Does the article contradicts itself?
"during the zenith period of Grecian and Roman civilization monogamy was not as firmly established as the rule that a health-loving man should content himself with one meal a day, and never eat till he had leisure to digest, i.e., not till the day’s work was wholly done."
"Breakfast as we know it didn’t exist for large parts of history. The Romans didn’t really eat it, usually consuming only one meal a day around noon, says food historian Caroline Yeldham. In fact, breakfast was actively frowned upon."
Part of the article suggests one meal at evening, the other part says noon. This seems a serious discrepancy.
