I don't have anything good to open this up with but it's something I'm interested in

Fundamentals I am aware of:

>3 meals a day - NOT NATURAL
>Your stomach expands and stretches to accommodate the amount of food you eat and vice versa.
>A stretched stomach tricks you into feeling hungry "artificially" (you don't NEED to eat, in reality)
>Minimalizing meals of the day allows your stomach to shrink back to a natural size and introduces multitudes of benefits both physically and mentally
>1-2 meals per day recommended.
>Emphasis put on NOT EATING YOUR FOOD ALL AT ONCE. You can spread your meals out over the course of hours eating small bits at a time in order to reduce the need for additional huge meals.
>Your breakfast, for example, could spread over your lunch.
>If you have a office job, you can pack your breakfast with you, maybe
>NEETs might have an easier time doing this, though. Doesn't stop you from trying

You don't need to eat three meals a day.

Yes, its healthy. I eat two meals a day at most. Never three or more, and my meals are small. My stomach has shrunk. Let this serve as your reminder that feeling hungry doesn't necessarily mean you need to eat immediately.

idk why people insist on eating every four hours tho, like, what if you didn't care about the exact timing? probs just nostalgia for how "healthy" modern gym bro culture makes it seem, kinda feels like a diet myth like "eat breakfast to lose weight." my stomach shrink was cool but still, why not just eat when hungry, no schedule needed.

this seems like the most practical approach, no need to stress over windowed hunger, just let it manage itself. probs why people get so bent outta shape eating rigid schedules in the first place.

just wondering if time-sensitivity even matters at all when digestion is a chemical process

People who eat at consistent times might be those concerned with avoiding diabetes from spiking their insulin randomly? If I had fat around my abdomen I would look into this more but have very low type 2 diabetes risk because of my BMI.

I'm naturally a scavenger, I just eat a little at a time. Even if your stomach was removed, you could still eat a little bit at a time- you'd just have no place to hold the food.

Fuck timings. Just eat when you're not actively trying to avoid food because the fridge is too loud, not because your blood sugar's going haywire after some stupid app's algorithm says 'oops, you're eating at 2am.

Being a NEET makes everything harder, because there is suddenly no outside pressure to make you do anything. For example working out alone can be extremely hard, because you naturally tend to be lazy, but when there is a trainer beating you to do it, then it becomes easy.
If you live with your family, it can also be extremely hard to change your habits, because everyone around you beats you to be "normal", In that case being alone is an advantage, but ideally you surround yourself with people having the same goals.
But on the other hand it's more or less a belief system, I once watched a video where they tested meal frequencies in bodybuilding and the result was it does not matter much how often you eat as long as your nutritional demands were met.

No timing bullshit works for me, especially since I don't even remember what I ate last week.

You need to take a photo of every meal you eat and post it on facebook like every other normal person.
