Does anyone else only eat once a day?

I find eating 3 or more times a day annoying, so now I've been eating only once a day at night.

i eat twice a day, but back when i was a vegan, i ate up to 9 times a day, and lost weight at an alarming rate... go figure, lol

It does seem like eating 9 times would add weight but it has to do with our metabolism. dietitians I have worked with in the hospital have told me it's much better to eat more frequent but small meals. Eating once a day just messes with your body's natural insulin levels and could be dangerous. Notice I said could.

@Shattered: I have done this way of eating for quite a while but sometimes I stop when I get too skinny. I eat as many different foods at that time of eating and don't restrict my calories. i know people think it slows down the metabolism but not mine. I just keep losing weight.

@lucetta12: Right, Eating is like a start up for your body's metabolism. Not eating shuts it down. According to the dietitians. And that squares with what little dietary I had in nursing school.

@Shattered: I thought that before I started doing this.

@lucetta12: You may be able to do that right now. There are other factors affecting metabolism, one of which is activity. The more active you are, the better for your metabolism.
