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 physical condition of my life, running faster times and lifting heavier weights than ever. Those interested should check out "the warrior diet", which seems to suggest following a similar feeding routine.
- xs1t0ry 11y agoI'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?
- xhrpost 11y agoInteresting seeing this, I recently was at a life balance seminar for work where they tried to encourage people to eat more often through the day. They discouraged going without food for a while and cited that sumo-wrestlers would use a technique of only eating at night in order to gain their massive amounts of weight.

It's worth pointing out that the typical 'gains' diet for a sumo-wrestler contains dishes that are optimized to pack absurd amounts of calories into a meal. This is stuff that nobody outside that particular culture would generally eat.
- brahmwg 11y agoDifferent strokes for different blokes. What may work for some may not work others. I never thought about getting into sumo wrestling (although, never ruled it out either). Rather than heeding the advice of 'eat-more!' Or 'eat-less!' I'd recommend just do trial and error and evaluate what works best for you individually over time. I didn't always follow this lifestyle, just gradually iterated into it after a great deal of introspection to see what works for me at the current moment. To that end, I have found regular fasting to be an important part of the balance.

- brahmwg 11y agoUsually afternoon or evening, once I feel warmed up.
