No one will ever match this again. Arnold is a freak of nature. That is why he is the god of bodybuilding.

Just a quick question. For those of you starving yourselves, how long do you go between meals, and would you recommend someone lose weight by eating one meal per day?

Alternate-day fasting means a 24-hour fast.

So, 24 hours.

Eating one meal a day would be less effective than fasting for 24 hours.

And you eat one meal on the day you're not fasting?

No, I eat regularly.

Let's say you're not fasting. Eating one meal per day would not negatively affect your body in any way?

No. Let's say you had a caloric maintenance of about 2,000 calories. You eat one meal a day, maybe about 800 calories. You burned 1,200 calories that day without doing a lick of exercise.

In fact we had someone on this very forum lose a lot of weight doing that.

Yes, I lost 80 lbs last time from only eating 800 calories per day. What happens when you start eating again and you haven't gotten into the habit of exercising?

If you go above your caloric maintenance you're gonna gain weight.

So, someone is eating one meal per day, and they're not able to do a lot of exercises. Eating only the one meal per day for a prolonged period of time will not have any adverse affects on their body?

They would lose fat.

I can't say that I know for sure, but that just sounds like a very bad idea.

No muscle from too few calories?
