Reducing eating to once or twice a day simplifies life. Less time buying, preparing, cooking, cleaning. More time for other things.

The less we eat the longer we live..... The best thing beginning KEto has done for myself was killing my carb addiction~Glucose~ and freeing my body to become able and happy to eat when I was hungry ~ 1- 2 meals a day..... I haven't been hungry on Keto since after my 2nd month on the diet...I'm 8 months in. Took my blood work ~ my A1c dropped from 5.5 to 5.0..... my Triglycerides fell to 106 ~ HDL rose to 65 , LDL rose due to higher fat diet but the breakdown of the LDL was loaded with fluffy particles ~ not small ones... At 6'-0" my weight went from 197 to 182 ~ I drink a keto coffee after I have my water in the morning and I eat maybe at 1pm or whenever I'm hungry. Sardines, Salmon, salads, nuts etc..... I intermittent fast for 15-17 hours.....Occasionally I have a Haagen Daz and I'm full after a cup with no crashing into binge eating.... I let it go and Im back to not eating for 15 hours or so. NO CRAVINGS EVER AGAIN. It' s all on my own desires which I control and dole out when I plan on it ~ NO GUILT. I'm in the comfort zone of an empty stomach most of my given day. My friends tell me at 51 I look as healthy as I ever have... & I see it in photos.

I swear by the 2 meals a day mantra.I am 36 and was type 2 Diabetic when I stated 2 meals a day .I eliminated sugar, coffee,tea ,refined flour, rice, wheat , breads, red meat etc. My diet includes millets(ragi, jowar) , brown rice vegetables, eggs and green smoothie and limited amount of fruits and peanuts.

What Mark said about sleep and the importance of getting the sleep environment just right is so helpful to me. I can sleep for 9 hours without feeling guilty and lazy now. I think active people need more sleep (recovery time) than sedentary people. Two meals a day came natural to me after I eliminated empty carbs and removed all snacking activities from my life. The fewer times I eat, the less hungry I get. One big protein-heavy first meal and one small second meal are all I need in order to feel satiated, energetic, and calm all day. Thank you so much for all the wonderful information! 🙏🏻

Lights Out! Great book! That’s how I changed my eating 15 yrs ago.

The two meals a day protocol was used by Jack LaLanne for most of his life. He would have a 2 hour morning workout, eat a post-workout meal after that, then wait till the evening to eat a light dinner, usually having a 2nd workout sometime in between the meals. A similar plan is used by Art Devany: he eats breakfast, works out several hours after that, then waits several hours to eat dinner. I personally eat one meal a day for early dinner most days, but throw in a post-workout meal after weights in the mornings 3 times a week.

Had been focusing so much on my next meal that I wasn’t listening to my body. I’m slowly getting this. Thank you for sharing, Mark. At 56+ y.o. I feel like I’m just understanding my body - it’s never to late!

Finally, someone who can really explain a proper keto diet!

3 weeks to adjust? It took me at least 6 weeks to 2 months to get adjusted to not eating fake food everyday. I was losing weight but I felt bad every other day. I ditched ALL of the fake food the first day of Keto and started IF before the week was over but I suffered because of it. If I was granted a do over, I wouldn't do it any differently. I started Keto 3 months ago. I am learning a lot. I do feel better now. Not feeling all glitchy. I don't feel like a constipated, puffer fish. I sleep better. I can get out of the bed without pain. I can walk down the stairs at work now. My moods are not all over the place. I am heading towards carnivore but I still love broccoli/cauliflower with lots of butter and a little parmesan cheese. I eat Rebel Keto ice cream. I am 64 and I give up some foods so I can eat something I really like. It's working for me. When it doesn't work I will change it. I hope I can get my family on board!

Looking forward to the release of this book.Yes two meals a day is nothing new, but I'm still very interested in reading the book and especially learning about Mark and Brad's unique insights. Also, this doesn't necessarily negate any of their prior work. If you prefer to eat primal, or follow keto with 3 meals a day with fat bomb snacks then go right ahead. They are not telling you to ignore their previous work or that it's now obsolete. Nor are they saying you now "have" to eat only two meals a day. This is just another option - do whatever works best for you!

I like the 2 meal a day idea because it lets me empty my stomach twice a day.

Based on my personal experience, eating too frequently is definitely more harmful than eating one big meal. I've tested this, weighed myself the next morning and the result was greater weight gain plus more ghrelin with multiple meals. One big meal, then fasting until the next day allows the body to digest the foods more efficiently. Once you put more food in the body, digestion stops, food storage begins (even on keto diet) and doesn't begin digestion until food intake stops and autophagy begins.

I have no doubt you found what works for you, but I have to disagree that it works for most people. OMAD is just too risky for most people of not getting enough nutrients. People need to eat a variety of food and it's practically impossible to do that in one meal. Also, there is a pleasure factor. If you get any pleasure from meal at all, why eating just once per day? That seems dumb to me. But like I said, for some people (few), OMAD can be your choice.

Basically first clean up your diet w/some exercise. Then figure out what type of IF best fits your lifestyle/career.

I’ve done this kind of intuitive exercise for years...I thought it made no sense to push myself in pain, which I did do, for years, against my better judgement...I’m a 58 yr old female and I walk 40 min each AM and listen to the Bible, look into the distance, and think. (Im going to get a unicycle, I lost my last one when I moved 6 years ago. The best 10 min of fun daily exercise I’ve ever done!) I’m doing KETO and IF and I’m very encouraged by your common sense approach here...I have friends that ask me for health and diet advice all the time and I’m going to direct them to this video, peroid. “Know thyself” should be on the back of your tshirts 😎 since everyone is different. Awesome work, thanks so much for making some balanced sense of solid nutrition habits for an enjoyable life!

Which cooling pad did you buy?? Can you provide the link please?? Love the podcast! Thanks, Mark!

I think you need to seriously consider two things: 1) withdraw some of your publications - Because you move further away with each publication from what you insisted on in your previous ones. It would not be unfair when looking over the body of work to say there are plenty of contradictions. Depending on which of your books someone may pick up, they could be chasing a whole lot of outdated advice. 2) cut the fat from your books - There is just way too much padding. I decided after your last book (Keto Reset) that enough was enough. The message, which was pretty simple, and should have been simply stated, was lost in an excessive page count.

Or just don't read his books and stop telling him what to do

@@MasculineIdeal Why? You think it’s okay to keep selling outdated books when your subsequent books completely contradict almost everything you’ve said previously? Are you two related or something? Why are you protecting him from justifiable criticism? Let’s say you’re new to the world of diet, and you need help, and you landed on one of his earlier books that pushed the paleo diet (or anything else he’s previously promoted but no longer does), only later to find out he’s abandoned that and moved onto keto. How does that help you? It wouldn’t. It would be confusing to you. In science, when we supersede data, we relegate the old and replace it with the new. By the way, if I don’t get to tell hm what to do, YOU DON’T GET TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I made a valid point. Want to disagree with, then by all means have your say, but don’t think you can simply shut me down. Unlike you, I’ve ready EVERY book he’s written, which allows me to make an informed comment.

Breakfast 10. 90 percent 1 square dark chocolate cup of green tea at two. Dinner at 5.

Great vlog. Thank you both so much.

Haven't read the book, but I've been eating two meals a day for a couple years. It seems to be the most straightforward way to live, along with a whole food, low carb lifestyle.

I didn't discover 2MAD as long as you did, but I came to the same conclusion.

Love that...OFAD...works for me...no deprivation!🤩

About those vegetables I'd eat regularly if I went "other than keto." A short starter list: zucchini yellow squash red onion yellow onion green onion green been artichoke broccoli cauliflower cabbage brussels sprout spinach tomato bell peppers celery snap peas asparagus cucumbers red raddish daikon turnup spring mix (just to differentiate from spinach)

Would you also confine ingesting bone broth or collagen to the 12-8pm eating window, or could they be consumed outside of it, like water or coffee?

I watch this and agree while sipping a fine whiskey...go mark go

One meal a day... ;) And it works even with very high intensity workouts ;) ;) ;)

Absolutely fascinating! Read the primal blueprint years ago and took a lot from it and it’s great to stumble across this. Eating healthy is so easy once you get into it and it’s so true that once you crack it nothing else will do! Junk tastes like junk! Two meals a day ordered😊 Thanks for sharing your knowledge gents.

I’ve been following and practicing Primal and keto for years, with some back sliding, lol. I struggle with butter being a good fat, can you expand on that for me. Thanks

Think of fast food restaurants and junk food retailers as drug dealers who only care about their profits.

Missed you, Mark! Looking good, mate. As always.

@@larastueben9458 I agree. He definitely needs to look after his skin. So sun damaged😬 sad that he is not making sunblock a priority.

I have been strictly 2 meals a day for many years. Keto and low carb. No processed food and sugar, etc. I cannot sleep more than 5.5-6 hours per night with cold pillows, black out curtains. I feel good. Never feel like a nap. What am I missing? Maybe blue light before bed?

Like you said, Some foods make you ill and you get use to it. Go to the meat and produce only at the grocery store. Don't go to the bakery area (Temptation).

This is basically the Bulletproof Diet. And I just finished Dave Asprey s new book "Fast This Way". Mark and Dave now preaching the same method. I have also progressed over the years from Paleo, THM, Keto, and IF. Becoming fat adapted, targeted rotation of eating windows and dropping SAD (Standard American Diet) is the key to good health.

I think Dave got his inspiration from Mark years ago when he started his podcast and was learning from him and many others on how to biohack.

I've been doing two meals a day with a modified carnivore diet and loving it!

Hey Mark, just download a fan app for your phone and connect it to a small, portable bose speaker for your white noise. It sounds like a real fan, so much so you'd swear you can feel the air blowing. :-)

His journey has helped bring a better balance to all the fads. Fasting is not a fad and neither is eating whole unprocessed foods. Nobody denies our industrial foods are over processed and very harmful.

Lost 10 pounds in 3 sleeps doing a version of 2 meal plan 18:6/ keto style. I have been staying as close to 0 carbs a day in till I reach my goal and then I will start implementing more foods into my diet and a higher carb count. This shits magic and I feel great.

You lost water weight

The only problem I seem to run into with google is that if I want to workout 1 body part a day for 5 days a week, which I usually do. Doing this diet would put me in a catabolic state meaning I will break down my muscle mass. How do I prevent the catabolic state, do I just not workout while on this diet? Or do a full body workout once or twice a week?

Doing real good with OMAD Carnivore. 61, 6'0", just under 150. I eat my mid/late-afternoon "bowl of meat" until I'm full, then put what's left into the freezer.

Matt below hit it 100%. No sugar, no wheat, no veg oils. Sugar in all forms, even fruit. Wheat also = sugar. Meat, cheese and egs primarily. I do think that after you reach your weight loss goals you can add back a little low carb vegs. The other step is skip breakfast, give your body time to rest and regenerate. My last meal is around 7 pm, first meal of the day is around 1. It is easy, as you eat more meat(fat) your not hungry as often. Have a frapp and a bagel at sbucks and you will be starving in 2 hours

This is one of the most sensible talks on diet I've heard to date. I've been on keto and IF for almost 3 years. I've learned that hardcore keto wasn't for me. I couldn't stop the weight loss, not just fat, but muscle ad well. I had to cycle keto and primal. Increase protein, calories and lifting weights. Everyone's genetics and metabolism is unique to the individual. Find out what works for you. Long fasts were horrible for me, but maybe wonderful for someone else.

Excellent talk! Read "Why We Sleep" by Walker.
