I fast until 5:00 PM every day and then only eat one meal. I've been doing this for about 1.5 years. I have been able to maintain a large degree of muscle and I am pretty ripped. Easy to adopt your lifestyle to and then you don't really have to count calories anymore. Plus, I never have to waste time eating or cooking breakfast or lunch.

Cool, my own anecdata matches yours. I also tend to have a daily fast until well into sundown, consuming only fresh ginger tea with lemon during the sunlit hours. Albeit sometimes if I'm truly famished I will eat something light (banana, baby carrots, etc) but it doesn't happen often. Been basically doing this pattern for 2+ years, and I definitely notice my mind staying clearer during the fast, and I am in the best…

I'd ask you the same question I asked jsonmez2--what does a typical meal look like? Do you find you're able to get everything you need in one meal? Any other tips?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I find it's almost "too easy", during the work week anyway.

Not sure I understand. Why would easy be a negative?

It's not a negative. My line of thinking on it right now is if it feels so easy, then I wonder if it's stressing my body the same way anymore. Maybe a bit more randomness in my eating pattern might shake things up.
