You have to be careful when talking about peoples going a long time without eating. There are or were tribes in Africa were rice was a major staple in their diet. If asked when they ate last, the answer would actually be when they last had rice, which could be months.

C'mon, now. I'm not trying to talk about starvation. I know the Jews were starved to death in the camps and starvation is prevelent in some countries.

I was simply making the point that the way we eat today isn't exactly "normal" if you look at history.

Just remember, choose your words carefully. We have three liberals extremist on here. I jumped lightly, they won't.

Rice alone is not that nutritional.
Carbs a few minerals.

The three meals per day concept originated with

So you take it the other extreme 1 meal a day.

Who sounds crazier?

Back when that was published there were very few processed foods.
Fresh meats veggies grains.
That is not the way today.

Thus far you said that eating one meal a day would cause me to lose muscle mass. Again, that's not true. Do you disagree with that? Let's start there.

I was wondering where you were headed with that.
I was trying to apply this to Billy, but jobless and lackluster just didn't want to apply.

It all depends on what you eat and how much of it you eat. Protein is important. It is also digested and metabolized slower than other carbs. As you said, avoid refined white table sugar, sucrose. Fruits and other items high in fructose again are metabolized slower and normally do not create problems for those with diabetes or hypoglycemia. Fructose may also be called levulose. Fructose/levulose and dextrose/glucose are both monosaccharides with the same chemical formula, C6H12O6, but different structure, the individual atoms are a different rotation and the carbon ring is different, see below. Fructose can be used directly by the cell to burn for energy but due ti the difference structure cannot be converted into fat by the liver. Sucrose, common white table sugar is a combination of both into a single molecule.

This will be my last word on intermittent fasting because I'm not trying to talk anyone into doing it. I just want to set the record straight.

You say it depends on what I eat and how much of it. That's true whether I eat 1, 2 3, or 10 meals per day. Eating one meal a day has nothing to do with it.


Again, I choose to eat one meal because I find it to be easier to control the amount of food (calories) that I consume. It's that simple.
