Many indigenous peoples around the world ate mostly fat and meat. We all come from indigenous peoples so we're built to eat like them.

      Two meals a day is not intermittent fasting, if you're having 2 meals a day it is impossible for you to have entered ketosis as there quite literally isn't enough time in a day; you're just dieting at that point. Whenever you eat anything, your pancreas starts producing insulin, spiking your blood pressure taking you out of a potential state of ketosis, a simple bite of a granola bar would do it.

    Speaking anecdotally, in 2014/2015 I switched to a low-calorie low-carb high-protein pescatarian diet in order to burn fat and build muscle. My physician did bloodwork around the time and panicked when they saw my ketones were through the roof because for someone of my size it is often an indicator of diabetes. When I disclosed that I was down to 260 lbs from 300 lbs inside of 2 months they were immediately relieved because it was just an indicator of my body maintaining ketosis. The worst thing I ever did was relapse a couple years later because more than just putting back on some weight I can confirm there is a change in headspace, palate, and how much energy I had throughout the day. When your body is burning fat you don't have the same sugar-dominated cravings and you're less exhausted (and therefore less intimidated) by physical challenges.

    At around 2014 I made the scary realisation that I had not felt hungry for years. I was just eating according to the clock, not because I was hungry. Now I eat only twice a day, once in the morning (mostly scrambled eggs) and again in the afternoon (5-6pm). This way I always eat on an empty stomach, gonto bed on an empty stomach and wake up on an empty stomach. I feel a lot more energetic now.

      I only eat when I’m hungry, but I wish I ate according to the clock. I overeat constantly, I often eat late (past 9pm) which causes insomnia, and the general lack of daily consistency makes my schedule chaotic. It’s not a good thing to have breakfast at 7am one day, and 1pm the next day.

      Your advice is definitely good and I'm already trying my best to follow it. The point of my comment is that I only eat when I'm hungry and I don't eat on a schedule, and people seem to praise my habit as being superior because it's "natural" or something. Well, my thoughts on that are that "natural" means nothing. It's not natural to wake up at 6am everyday and go to a 9-5 job, so frankly, eating on an unnatural schedule is better.

    I'm doing the intermittent fasting at the moment. Started On Thursday 29th of April and as of this morning I'm down from 205 pounds to 198 pounds. I do something slightly different every day depending on work and how I'm feeling. If I don't feel too hungry I just don't eat and fill up with water. Typically I've been doing a 19-5 split and twice a 20-4 spilt and one day I waited 22 hours and just had one meal that day. Felt a bit shaky that day.

      This is because fatty foods does not satisfy hunger in the same way as starch and carbohydrates. Eat carbs and let your digestive system work, and that makes you relax.

    I mean it’s different when you are a hardcore athlete but for me the best diet seems to be fasting or eating very light like a piece of fruit and some almonds until the afternoon and then eating a good meal where the largest portion is green veggies, next is a clean meat, and last and smallest portion is the carbs. Have that chest day once in a while and treat yourself to some desert or something but don’t slip into eating crap everyday. Don’t eat after dark. With that and light exercise I was able to not only get my blood pressure down into safe levels (got hypertension very young) but I was able to lose 40 pounds in four months. On top of that my mental health improved so much.

    I have found that eating one big meal every 36 to 38 hours has very positive effects...
    it’s awkward to maintain but if done once or twice a week for six months or so... I found it to be very invigorating and general health improvements occurred.
    but for muscle development processes and highly active activities I match my intake to my activities.
    All things in moderation is a good mindset.
    Everyone needs to find what works for them and recognize that any dynamic changes creates effects. So adapt to change and change in order to adapt.
    Being super cut is excellent for the day of a contest...
    However it is not really healthy for your body unless your diet and activities creates that form naturally.
    It’s good to simply be able to fast at any time and have the reserves and good health to do so.
    But everyone is different and fasting can be dangerous and cause ill effects if unfamiliar or because of health and nutrition conditions at the onset of the fast.
    It’s smart to put some fruit pieces in water for providing some sugar for your brain if your new to fasting or going on a long discipline workout. Looking at the meal before you for days for hours and days while you are hungry...
    Is good exercise for muscles most people never develop.
    It is not even tempting once you develop discipline and have made a decision.
    But don’t harm your health because you because have developed your discipline and will power.
    Pay attention to you body. It is like the temple of your being.
    Respect it.

    Tried it and it works when you have an "off day" or not a too busy day...but when I train hard, work hard and have other obligations,I have to have 1 very small meal around noon and a big one in the evening... and yes, I have to have complex carbs like potatoes or even rice with a lot of vegetables, meat and some good oils like olive oil or pumpkin seed oil etc.... because it's one big meal and I have to make it rich and nutritious..

      No, you don't have to, you just believe so. Fatty meat, eggs contain a lot more energy than complex carbs. Carbs are stored away as fat by your body and cannot be utilised as energy, only a fraction may. While fat you ingest isn't stored on your belly handles or elsewhere, it is usable immediately. No cravings like with carbs, better mind clarity and sustained energy. Check Dr Berg or Dr Ekberg to get all details and scientific explanations. The latter being a former Olympic decathlonian athlete...

    What do you eat to be able to get enough calories from just one meal per day? I'd love to try but can't fathom how to eat that much in one sitting.
    Also, when they say no cards, does that include no potatoes and no rice? Or just no wheat (pizza, pasta, pastry, cakes, biscuits, flour)?

      @@qwerty11222 it really depends on what your goals are. If you just wanna lose weight you could eat anything and lose weight as long as you’re eating under your calorie limit. There’s calculators online that tell you how many calories you should eat to lose X amount of weight based on your current weight. Just keep it simple, a lot of crap you’ll see online over complicate things. Just get your proteins in, any meats are fine. Also vegetables. And try to keep carbs at a minimum. And whatever you’re eating try not to slather too many fatty sauces or what not on there. Like I said if you’re only eating one meal a day don’t even bother counting calories.

    Just weighed myself this morning after exactly eight weeks of dieting with no exercise other than long, fast-paced walks three or four times a week. I lost 34 lbs eating mostly meat, and occasionally cheese and eggs, for one meal a day. I've been drinking water and black coffee only. I'm a 6'4", 41 year old guy who went from 269 lbs to just under 235 lbs. I did a 48 hour and a 60 hour water fast as well during that time. I definitely could have dropped an additional ten plus pounds if I hadn't taken three or four cheat periods, one of which lasted five days. Although, I stood strong nearly every single day with the one meal a day fasting program. I generally feel so much better! I'm lghter on my feet with a clearer mind, better emotional regulation, and patience. Now I need to get going on the exercise element in order to really turn things around.

    I was a pushbike courier for over 10 years, I tried many different diets. This "carnivore" diet worked amazingly. I wouldn't suggest it anyone other than distance athletes. I'd cover on average around 120km a day of stop/start city riding everyday. Eating fatty meats meant less recovery time, less lactic acid build up and far better concentration for long periods. Concentration was the main attraction cause if there's one thing you don't want playing in city traffic was a lapse in concentration.

It's frustrating. Someone with diabetes, Crohn's, etc., can get a "special diet allowance" of up to several hundred dollars from disability support because, for example, sugar-free jam costs more than regular jam (nobody needs jam). They don't even consider diet when it comes to alleviating the symptoms of serious mental health issues. (I guess there's no money to be made if they can't push the pills.)

    I have noticed on many occasions, and somewhat as a failure of our nutritional infrastructure, the following. When carbs enter my systems, en mass, I feel much more suggestible. This effect seems more potent with combinants. For example, Sugary pastries, which combine high carbohydrate bread with processed sugars have a spit thickening effect and a feeling associated with them that feels to be a lack of ability to process external stimuli. These effects are at their most potent when a very processed confection is eaten without cut. The only cut that does something good for me is a vegetable. When I eat only vegetables, I never feel the lethargy of a Carb/Sugar rich diet. I do however, tend to feel somewhat angry. So I have a diet that is probably non-communicable in the sense that it would take personal erudition to figure out how your body plays with things and products that would offer the nutrition you are lacking. Some days I eat six cookies, most days I eat tons of veggies. Every once in a while a bit of meat. My path is more clear to me now than it was yesterday, I don't think we can understand memories that go back much further, so perhaps.
