bulshit.

that is how we evolved; spending entire days hunting the meal and then once capturing and preparing it, we consumed the food quickly in a small period.

wake up the next day and do it again. food was not readily available 24/7 - just lol

I know. I love the bro science of the 6-8 meals a day crowd. It is scientifically proven to be false. Think of every bad arse animal in the world, they are hunters that go without eating for periods of time. Humans are made the same way, but our lifestyle has changed causing us to get patterned to a steady food stream.

and you fast?!? and you're not beginning stages of anorexia?

I'm 6'3" and 175-180 ish and I am too skinny. Ideal weight for a 6 footer is in my range, I should be closer to 200. That is muscle weight of course, not fat

I find it funny that you tell me not to "starve" myself and should eat 6-8 meals per day for my health. You wouldn't be able to pick me out of a lineup of a group of 30 year olds of a healthy weight. The bible promotes fasting several times. It's almost ubiquitous to civilization historically.

My friend could never eat and then go drink. It made him too full and he would throw up. So from Thursday to Saturday in college, he wouldn't eat a single thing and live off booze. Then come Saturday after the bars closed, he would just eat tons of food.

I guess that's some intermittent fasting

This is correct. For thousands of years humans were hunter and gatherers.

Those animals spent their day chasing food, ie exercising. We just sit around and expect to eat food and lose weight by changing how we eat it . None of it works without exercise.

Well, I guess starving does...

Lot of dumb comments in this thread

I do it from time to time. The body is not meant to be in a constant fed state.

And I stay in better shape than 99% of the world

I am well aware of how the body works. I am an athletic trainer and a certified personal trainer. I understand that's the way it had to be done in the past. All I was saying was the body functions more properly with a steady stream of nutrients, especially if you are an avid exerciser. I never said eat 8 meals a day. You can't argue that eating one massive meal a day is more functionally sound than spreading nutrients out throughout the day.

I fast for 21 days once a year, liquids only. After the first three or four, its a snap. Beef, Chicken Broth, smoothies, fruit juices and tons of water.

google "eat fast eat pdf". It's an interesting read. The basic premise is that you fast for 24 hours, but never go a whole day without a meal. I did it for several months and liked it. My basic schedule.

Eat dinner Sunday night around 6 PM.
Eat no breakfast Monday morning.
Drink a crap load of water.
Eat no lunch Monday.
Drink a crap load of water.
Drink a crap load of water.
Eat dinner Monday night around 6 PM (eat normal portion, don't try to catch up what you missed out on throughout the day).

Throw in regular resistance/weight training, yes even while fasting to ensure you won't have muscle mass loss.

That's pretty much it summed up. Try it, you can always stop doing it if you don't like it.
