Any Lemmings that have been regular fasters for at least a couple years? What's your first hand experience and opinion on fasting for health benefits? (lemmy.world)

I don't meant for weight loss, I mean health benefits as in autophagy, clearing out toxins, giving your organs a break type stuff

I only eat once a day for years now. Not really for weight loss, but rather because it saves a lot of time and allows me to spend more time on preparing one really satisfying and healthy meal instead of just snacks and fast food. I still eat sweets and stuff if I feel like, but it's easier to control and keep track of nutrients etc.

Do you eat a whole days worth of food in one meal?

[–] rbn@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 hours ago

Yes, usually I eat ~1800-3000 kcal for dinner.

What do you eat?

[–] rbn@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm on a vegan diet and I would say that I eat quite a big variety of food. Many vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, rice, quinoa, chick peas, pasta variations, also some meat alternatives, soy yoghurt etc. I rarely eat exactly the same meal twice, but improvise a lot.

That sounds like something I'd like to try tbh, could u give like 4 random meals you've had recently?
