[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although I would not be able to do  this one-meal-day thing i will say that several  decades ago my college boyfriend did the same thing.  he was 50 pounds overweight and just decided to eat one meal a day.  He could eat as much as he could stuff in, but just one meal.  He lost the weight, and to this day he has kept it off (we are still in regular touch).  He now eats big once a day and very light the other 2 meals. For him, big meal is at night; light breakfast and lunch. [/quote]
that's different than eating only one meal per day.  I eat a very light breakfast because I can't handle food in the morning.  I eat a small lunch and eat a snack during the day, then eat a lightish dinner.  The trick is smaller portions (some cases really small, like a 5 yr old size meal) frequently, low cal foods, and movement.[/quote]
That’s the trick for YOU. Smaller frequent portions didn’t work for me. IF has and is so much easier for me to stick to. [/quote]

Yes, this. Why do some people INSIST that every body is the same? Small, frequent meals are terrible for me because it makes me feel hungry all the time. [b]I am able to control my weight pretty much without effort just by sticking to two full meals a day[/b]. I just don't think about food the rest of the time, which is so freeing.[/quote]

My brother has eaten this way pretty much his entire adult life.  He eats at noon and midnight (he works 3-11pm and sleeps 3am-11am).  Breakfast for him is 2 pieces of fruit, a pastry, a yogurt, coffee. Sugary but it gets him thru his day and he doesn't think about food. I am in awe of that! He will make a big dinner at midnight  when he get home from work -- appetizer, main course, the works. He doesn't snack. He works a very physical job and has remained lean his whole life -- extremely muscular; no gyms, no working out -- his job does that for him.

I suppose you could adapt this to more regular  hours --say, eating at 8am and 8pm. Nor for me, but reading the postings here some folks are very disciplined about mealtimes. [/quote]
