Actually, on close reading, you realize he's eating one large meal a day and that's it. This is actually intermittent fasting "before it was cool".

- p_l 3y agoYes, but it's not articulated in detail why and how it works. It's a good start, and for many it will help - hell, it did help me just by putting it down in clear numbers that ultimately calorie deficit is the crucial thing.
- Asooka 3y ago> it's not articulated in detail why and how it works Answering that is a very long and fascinating deep dive in human biology with plenty of unknowns. I wouldn't even try to summarise as I myself am nowhere near knowledgeable enough on the topic. For myself, I've noticed that maintaining a calorie deficit is simply easier if it's a regular meal and then no meal than if it's two half meals.
- nsxwolf 3y agoI can go for days without eating and not think about it too much - but as soon as I start eating, I become obsessed with food and cannot stop. So if I just eat dinner, there's not enough time left in the day to overeat. That's why it works for me.

- p_l 3y agoReduction of meal count definitely helps in maintaining caloric deficit, and even more if like me, you're insulin-resistant. Trying to do classic '5 meals a day', no matter their size, ensured I'd end up with completely out of whack blood sugar driving me into cravings that ensured there was no weight loss, but weight gain.
