I don`t always do intermittent fasting, but when I do I follow the Leangains approach of eating in an 8 hour window, from noon till 8pm.  Is this the way everyone should eat?  Probably not.  Everybody is different and has to find what works for them.  This eating schedule does work for me and many others.  It`s worth considering.

I`m looking mighty debonair in that photo, Lost in Translation.  Leangains style intermittent fasting must really work!

One meal a day within a fairly small window, say fours hours, is what everybody seems to agree is the way to go. Part of the reason is 'aqutophagy' which is explained below. Many of us will have figured out that eating less is wise especially as you get older say over the age of 40-50. Fasting plays a part but if you minimise your window for food intact the body will essential be on a mini fast most of the time by default. If you want to go for a full blown fast for a few days then it's actually easier for people that only eat once a day.

 

Of course don't eat junk/refined food and eat what suits your metabolism so more meat or more vegetables depending on what feels right for you.

I´m not sure it´s accurate to say that "everybody seems to agree" about anything when it comes to food and nutrition.  From what I´ve read I would say that one meal a day works great for some, not so well for others.

In the past I thought I wanted to be a Buddhist monk so I tried living like one for a while, which included eating one meal a day. Once I decided that wasn't in the cards for me I stopped. I don't really think I noticed any difference before or after.

so buddhist monks eat one meal a day, i didn't know this. for lunch at noon i guess, right? around what time? mostly rice?

It is said that dogs which had only one meal a day lived the longest as per research.

It perhaps may have similar implications for humans. 

 

Fasting is said to increase prana or life-force, which is usually expended in digestion of food.  And when one takes an abnormally high amount of food, it means that more prana is consumed and dissipated. 

 

Prana saved during fasting usually work on enhancing the body systems

 

Higher prana levels results in better capabilities for meditation, disease prevention or healing.

They do not.

 

The rules that regulate the lives of ordained people state that you are not allowed to eat after noon. Before that you can have breakfast AND lunch.

 

Regarding what you eat or not, that depends on the tradition.
