basically the idea of eating one big meal every day instead of 2-3 smaller ones. I like the idea of making like, some eggs, or something in the morning and eating a big ol' meal with all of the nutrients i need at like 3:30. and then like, some fruit as a desert. is this healthy?

    It's just intermittent fasting with a ~23 hour fasting period. As long as you're eating healthy it should be fine. You'll be really hungry for a while until your body adjusts and starts burning fat during the fasting period, maybe two weeks or so.

      i feel as if i could benefit a lot from that, i have a terribly unhealthy relationship from food and training myself to abstain from it could help. I'm not saying i'll starve myself btw, but it might help being more used to not being full constantly if that makes sense

        It takes a while and a force of will but it's quite wonderful when you feel like you're in control and not your impulses. I'm currently dealing with a stress- and depression-induced eating disorder and it sucks. I'm not eating too much per se but I'm mostly eating garbage that isn't good for me, like a bunch of donuts, and then feeling sick. I'm making a little progress on the stress and depression side and it's helping to curb the eating disorder, too.
