Thanks for taking the initiative. 
Today has been difficult for me, Iāve watched all the folks on the Military side of my family pass away, (Mum this past April) Iām one of the few left to remember their fierce patriotism and service.

We had a little wind chill flurry here yesterday as I was putting on the winter tires.
I thought I was tempting fate doing it and putting up some outside Christmas lights as well lol. It can stay tfa until Dec 23rd then it can snow and stay for 2 weeks and then piss off again lol.

Also, @Shadey wanted to throw out there āthanks again for the low food intake info!ā Since then I have both forgotten the name of the gent in the video you shared with me but I do remember the lessons!
Itās been well over a month now of daytime fasting with coffee/lemon water during the daytime with a solid meal after 8-9pm and I FEEL GREAT.
This practice has also really made me re-appreciate the food that I do end up eating.

Wow, this is a thing? I have been on one meal a day for many years, I just didnāt realize this was something others did. Interesting.

Yes it certainly does, even food you might consider boring in taste, tastes amazing when you havenāt eaten for a week lol.
I am glad you are finding it benificial, it can really improve your health by lowering the amount of insulin your body produces to deal with carbohydrates.
I have lost 83Lbs since May now and my BP is usually between 100 to 115 over 68 to 76 I was probably in my teens when it was this good before.

Being raised by a 80ās teacher the āthree square meals a dayā thing was DRILLED and being a competitive athlete ensured the carbs were always around to consume as fuel.
Flash forward into my 20ās and I was working so hard and fast that I ended up eating small meals, and a LOT less food than prior. I averaged 145lbs for years (5ā7") showing ribs but never missing a step.
Into my 30ās that type of kinetic intensity slowed down and while I still averaged walking 6-10km a day in a 6000 sq/ft building I found that I had gained fat weight and was very tired all the time once I hit 180 lbs.
So, I went on a 2 week stint of 1500 cal per day MAX with an am run of 2-3km to start the burn, and then fasted until 2pm where I only ate oats; and the rest of the calories were dinner. 2 weeks later I was down to 165 lbs and stayed there until COVID.
I stress cookā¦ so Covid wasnāt great for the body until I restocked the pantry with only healthy naturals and then the spring/summer came and I could eat out of the garden again.
Now I float between 165-170 lbs because of the muscle gains in addition to the fat stores being trimmed. I eat what I want now for that 1 meal in the day, but less of it if itās not good for me.
Winter is coming, I want to be healthy but not completely un insulated

Yeah, the 3 meal a day thing was just the way I was taught. For me it was the 2 years being homeless between 15 and 17, there were no 3 meals, many days no meals, so the habit was broken. To this day its still 1 meal unless I am doing a bunch of physical labor and than I eat when I am hungry but those days are not as common as they used to be.

Thats the best way to eat, only when you are hungry, your homelessness set you up with a great food strategy for your life and health and kept you fat adaptive

There is usually a positive to be gained from any situation if you stop and think about it. People eat way too much these days, it shows everywhere.

Thatās what I am finding now, I feel the cold more, the house heating is running another 2 degrees F higher and itās not even cold here yet

Yup. 
Edit: My workplace is near an area of Toronto that still has warehouse rentalsā¦ so thereās a lot of āhipā and ācoolā 20 somethings living it up with pop-up clubs, events and galleries. One summer I found while clearing away the weeds from the parking area: 5x empty bottles of Beefeater, and at least 2x human turdsā¦ cause if that was a dog iād be worried for it. These folks both drank and ate too much; and considering what they charge at these things to make any return profit itās no wonder everyone I know in their 20ās has to have several side hustles to survive here.

I try and only eat between 10am and 6pm, no more then 1500 calories a day. I find now Iām in my sixties my metabolism has really slowed down. Being retired doesnāt help. I get bored and that makes me want to eatā¦

I eat 2-3 meals a day plus snacks.
I do take the furball out 2x a day for a 5k hike and he pulls like a freight train.
I spent years between 150-155 lbs but as I got close to 50 my metabolism hit a wall and I went to 165.
Cue the dog walks and my weight stayed the same for a bit and then went up to 170 while my waistline shrank.
Iāve never looked or felt better, and couldnt imagine limiting my food intake.

Sounds like my Russian Fridge friend āShayā.
Looking at him heās my height (5ā7") and looks like a plump little bearā¦ until you poke at it and realize that he weighs 220lbs and is an unmovable tank of solid muscle, bone and sinew.
