I've been eating one meal a day for the past 3 years, usually lunch, and occasionally fasting for a day or two. At first, I would be feel very hungry at dinner and breakfast time, and I'd feel starved by lunch. (I kept going because I kind of liked the feeling when eating that one meal; food tasted so good. Also, I liked the extra time I would have, which I would otherwise spend on preparing food and/or eating.) My body slowly adjusted, and after the first year or so, it became so normal that I no longer feel hungry at all until my daily meal, and at that time I would feel comparable hunger as before mealtime when I used to eat three meals a day. It's much easier to delay eating now then it was before. I can easily go 2 or 3 hours after my normal eating time without any build up of hunger at all. When I hear about how hard it is to fast, and how people have to get "ready" by eating like a pig before their fasting time, I cannot relate to this anymore. I think there is a very universal and very deep mental idea instilled into modern people that they must eat so much. It's ridiculous when you think about how nourishment fits into evolutionary pressure. We wouldn't be able to compete against other species if our bodies and mental capacity weren't equipped to go without food for many days and still perform. Also, the fact that it took a year before I started to feel normal doing this, makes me think how a human being adjusts itself to different environments, gene expression and all that. My body feels tougher, I have as much energy as I did before, but I'm calmer and less stressed. It's like my body streamlined where it put energy into, so I could still perform just as well as before. Looking back, before I did this, energy was spilling into every random thought and emotion, and I had much more anxiety and angst. Now I can choose to ignore things which before I would obsess over.
