I've gone breakfast-only (banana, bowl of cereal, pumpkin seeds, milk) during the week. Eat some dinner on the weekends. ~6k steps/day. ~25lb drop in 2mos.

Feel *great*.
When I reach the goal weight, flip to just eating dinner and try to figure out the optimal calorie intake.
Now, I had done a bunch of fasting for years before settling on this approach. It was not sudden.
Moral: listen to experts, but know yourself.
- winrid 4y agoI'm glad you found something that worked for you, but while I had similar success with one-meal-a-day, I found that my hands/feet were always cold. It was hard to sleep, because if my hands or feet touched my body it would wake me up. Sex was also not great because nobody wants to touch a cold person. I found that portion control, small meals throughout the day, is optimal in keeping my metabolism up and staying healthy. Larger meals, carbs or not, cause large influxes in insulin eventually leading to insulin resistance, which I can feel because I'll be tired after eating a normal amount of carbs.
