I’m not suggesting to do so just wondering if any of you do. I have done so since about age 7, except when I was 14 & trying to gain weight —and finally had the wherewithal do to so healthily after I left home. I always thought one meal was bc it’s all I had time & enough good for but even now that I have access to plenty of food, I prefer 1 meal.

My energy is way better prior to eating (provided I have eaten the previous day, otherwise I’ll just get too relaxed & content to stare at the sky 😂)

I hate having to think about what to eat or spend time presiding food nor do I enjoy sitting for a meal…. Having one meal a day at whatever time whatever place I find convenient keeps food as something i take in for sustenance without having to revolve hardly any time around it. Mentally or physically. Which for me is very liberating —vs my childhood a completely diff situation where food played an unhealthy role through my guardian as a means of control over me.

I hate sleeping on a remotely full stomach. Eating once a day leaves plenty of time from meal to bed time. I rest way better and I never have to get up to one. 😴

Much easier to make sure everything I eat is really healthy and I never accidentally eat bad or am in need of food bc I never have anything unexpectedly.

My stomach suffered nerve Damage from childhood & one meal day provides flexibility for rest when it’s less efficient without my losing on calories bc I’m trained to eat what I need within a relatively small window. If poor appetite, I will have nutritional supplements.

It leaves me time for other activities I literally think of food no more than once a day -if that. I understand food is a great joy for many they love to plan prepare share etc etc for me I love the efficiency of one meal. I know of a philosopher from 1600 who ate only lunch. & In china they have practices “ half pi gu” for centuries & I see it as a current fad for weight loss on YouTube “OMAD”

27F, it’s odd and just unlucky considering most women don’t have to bat an eye when it comes to dating. I’ve been on and off the apps for years, I’ve recently come to point where I just put minimal effort. Minimal as in sending a message 2-3 days max and swiping on profiles maybe every other week. I’ve spent so much time asking myself what’s wrong with me, even lost and maintained my weight loss over the years and can’t attract a guy I’d want. I get attention and likes but it’s the unrequited/only want hookups/they like me I don’t like them situation. I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with me, I have a low sex drive but that’s more common for women vs men. I find it odd that I couldn’t attract a decent guy where it’s reciprocated and the rest falls into place. Dating apps were my only outlet, I don’t have friends. Atm I’m on hinge, which I’ve heard is one of the better apps. My mom tells me I just haven’t found the right one and maybe that’s the case but can’t help but wonder if there’s more to it? Maybe not
