Occasional indulgences in highly nutritious food won’t harm you. However, having only one meal per day consistently is not advisable; it’s better to aim for at least two meals daily.

The amount you eat each day should be based on your activity level, body type, and age. Assuming you’re not training for extreme sports, maintaining good health and managing weight should be the goal.

Good health isn’t just about what you eat; it’s also about how you use that energy. Regular exercise—both cardio and weight training—is beneficial for everyone, not just athletes. It boosts confidence and overall well-being.

If you’re exercising regularly, one meal a day is insufficient. Fasting isn’t starving yourself; it’s about teaching your body to function on less food. Humans are designed for endurance, which allowed our ancestors to survive as hunter-gatherers.

Modern society normalizes excessive eating and pleasure-driven food consumption, a lifestyle more suited to the affluent than the average person. Fasting helps reset our relationship with food, emphasizing nutrition over entertainment.

My husband started fasting to address his weight issues. He now eats two highly nutritious meals daily, skipping breakfast. Our meals focus on protein, healthy fats, and good carbs like fruit or honey, avoiding sugary foods and soda.

Fasting isn’t effective without giving up unhealthy eating habits. It must be paired with exercise to feel the benefits. Start with manageable workouts and listen to your body, taking rest days as needed. Eat when hungry, not out of boredom, and prioritize nutritious foods.

The only thing you should commit to is regular gym visits every other day, even if just for 30 minutes. You’ll never regret investing in your health.
