Hormone balance is another big thing that one meal a day helps with. First of all, it's gonna help promote good hormones like growth hormone, testosterone, if you're trying to boost your testosterone, hormone balance from one meal a day is something that most people are looking for.

The another thing is that we could talk about metabolic hormones, we could talk about sex hormones, we could talk about all the different hormones, it helps improve that hormone sensitivity, and makes it so these hormones can be heard the receptors are functioning properly.

Then of course, as I said, promotes the good hormones, and then decreases the bad hormones that you don't want at high levels in your body. So if we want to balance our hormones at one meal a day is great for that.

10. Decrease Inflammation

Next on our list is going to be decreasing inflammation. This is incredibly important. When we do one meal a day when we do fasting, essentially what it's going to do is start decreasing the inflammation in our body.

Now when we look at all these diseases out there, heart disease, liver disease, cancer, these are all chronic inflammatory diseases. So basically what happens is a chronic inflammatory issue that starts early in their lives, and it can happen 1520 years before the disease being identified, this inflammatory issue can start, and then eventually it turns into something much larger.

So if we want to go in and avoid all these different diseases out there, we want to decrease inflammation, one meal a day, and fasting is a great way to do so.

The another thing about inflammation is when you have a lot of inflammation in the body, then it causes pain. If you have joint pain, that's an inflammatory problem.

11. Improve Organ Health

Let's go ahead and talk about how it improves your organ health. Now there are an enormous amount of studies on how it improves liver health, how it improves heart health and balances your cholesterol level, how it improves kidney health.

I mean, fasting is so incredible for the organs. You know, basically what happens is your organs just kind of like all start to you know, rejuvenate and revive while you're fasting and so our body needs to go through this, these fasted states are very natural.

It's a matter of fact, fasting is just one of those things. It's just built into our DNA. If we look back to Paleolithic times, I mean, if you didn't have food you didn't get to eat but of course, now we have grocery stores so we can eat all the time.

So it's important to realize that we have this food available, we still need to create times of fast to improve our health and because at the end of the day, there are so many people out there who are having issues with heart disease, I mean one of the number one killers of people, kidney disease, liver disease, fatty liver, you name it, we want to work always to improve our liver health or organ health in general.

12. Metabolic Flexibility

Now when we look at your metabolism like I said most people are stuck in this sugar-burning state when you want to be fat-burning if you want to burn fat, but also want to get the benefit of ketones and everything else. When you're doing one meal a day in, let's say you're just falling low carb.

You may jump into a sugar-burning state here and there. If you have that metabolic flexibility, you're able to go from like sugar burner, fat burner, and go back and forth pretty well.

Now, a lot of people like I said, if they're even utilizing this one meal a day as a crutch for an unhealthy diet, now they're still able to go and have great metabolic flexibility after fasting for 16/8 hours.

Now, if you want to have that metabolic flexibility that puts you into ketosis much earlier in the fast then you want to be following the ketogenic diet, or if you want, or you want to be falling low carb if you're following an unhealthy diet, that metabolic flexibility won't be there as much. When you change from a sugar burner to a fat burner, it could be very deep into the fast like the 18 to the 20-hour mark.

13. Muscle Preserving

Next on our list is going to be muscle preserving. One of the huge benefits of fasting, in general, is that it's very muscle-sparing.

 So it starts burning off the fat, but it preserves a muscle you don't get that same type of benefit if you're just doing calorie restriction and so doing fasting regularly is gonna help you burn the fat but preserve the muscle.

That's why so many people who are in the gym all the time, people who are very concerned about their looks their physique are doing one meal a day because it helps them maintain their goals, their goal weight, but also maintain their physique and keep them looking good because it helps preserve that muscle.

Now when you're doing one meal a day, if you workout in a fasted state, there's an enormous amount of research out there that shows how beneficial that is.

So if we want to preserve muscle, we want to get even more benefits from our exercise in a fasted state. We'll do one meal a day and it's a great combo.

14. Cognitive Function

It helps improve cognitive function. There are so many scientific studies out there that show how. Fasting goes in improves brain function, cognitive function, it helps decrease brain fog. I mean, it just gives you more brain energy.

You know some so many people have brain fatigue today, they do some small tasks, and all of a sudden they're shot, their brain just won't work anymore.

Well, if you want to have a lot of brain energy, you want to improve cognitively function during this fasting process is going to help you do so because like I mentioned before, you're going to burn that fat because you're in this state of ketosis, you're burning ketones for energy.

The thing is that that is going to do is give your brain those ketones, which is the preferred fuel source for the brain and as a result, your brain can just function so much better.

It's going to help increase your energy. So when you're eating food all day when you're constantly grazing, You know, if you have very poor metabolic health, you know, maybe this helps you feel good, but the problem is not good for you.

Typically what is going to do in the long run is just constantly drain you of energy. So, people who are very metabolically healthy, and let's say they do one meal a day, they feel so much better, they have so much more energy, you don't want it because digestion is a very energy-demanding process for the body.

So when you're digesting food constantly because you're just eating three, four meals a day, you're constantly grazing as a result, it takes a lot of energy from your body.

So if you want to have more energy, you just take all your meals, compress it down, your body just cannot expend all that energy on digestion and therefore you have more energy throughout the day.

16. Natural Portion Control

Next here is texas a natural portion control. I mean, this is one of the huge benefits of it, a lot of people have a hard time with their portion control and they're just you know, like I said, four meals a day grazing snacking all the time.

Well, if you compress all your meals into one to two hour period, there's only so much food that you can eat during that time.

So it acts as really, really natural portion control. So a lot of human beings are getting into counting calories and doing all these things. If you do one meal a day, it cleans things out pretty well for you.

That's why you're doing one meal a day with an excellent healthy, low carb diet, or keto diet, you get some fantastic results and you don't have to worry about counting calories.

I have much respect for these people. It's just like people who are doing water fasting, it takes so much willpower to go through with it. And so doing one meal a day helps improve your willpower, which in turn will help improve your willpower.

So that you are exercising so that you're making the right food choices. I mean, this is all a willpower thing is discipline. So doing one meal a day helps strengthen that.

18.Enjoy Food More

If you want to enjoy your food, then be sure to do one meal a day because you're so much more appreciative of the simple flavors and you don't get hooked into all those different flavors that are not good for you like the flavor of sugar, right in all the cravings that come along with it.

So you want to enjoy your food more, try one meal a day, if you don't trust me on this one, give it a try. See what happens.

19. Save Time

Now saving time is something that just happens with one meal a day, let me tell you recently, I did a couple of days of a water fast. You notice that I didn't want to do the water fast.

It's always one of those things that you just mentally don't feel like doing because you know the different mental games that are there like you want to eat food, and you have cravings and you come to have to break through some barriers and it's not comfortable to do a water fast.

One of the things that I was happy about when he's doing his water fast is that I was able to save a lot of time, I didn't have to worry about breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

When you're doing one meal a day, you don't have to worry about breakfast or lunch or whatever meals that you're skipping really, you don't have to worry about it, you know that it takes so much time to sit down and prepare food or, you know, figure out how you're gonna find food, doing one meal a day makes it so much easier to you know, just kind of streamline your eating, and you save a ton of time doing so.

20. Save Money

The next the thing that is going to help you do is to save money, there are so many people out there who are just, you know, getting impulse buys and because they're hungry, right, they're buying snacks or buying breakfast or buying lunch, they're buying all these different foods throughout the day, they're going out to eat simply because they need food in the now.
