Yes, it works. Eat a salad, rice, beans, fish, and vegies once a day and you're good. I'm fasting 18hrs/day and I lose fat + gain muscles. Also, I save lots of time which I can put into work since I don't spend my time on preparing/cooking meals that much.

Oh crap I replied to the wrong post. I was replying to a comment who asked if he can just "load up all of your daily calories in that one meal"

I am actually fasting right now, sorry for -accidentally- being rude

He just said he does it and that it works. It doesn't make any sense to respond to that with "no it doesn't".

Can confirm it works. But yes, after a few days of fasting eating an ordinary meal makes me really full.
