The secret is to be incredibly neurodivergent and unlock the secrets to extreme hyperfixation. The more you lose track of time, the better, as this is also the threshold where hunger ceases to exist.

The trick is to have an undiagnosed illness that constantly upsets your stomach and threatens to regurgitate any food you eat. Once I realized it hurts less to not eat at all, I started regularly skipping on meals. What's really annoying is that I still have a pudgy tummy, even though I'm stuck on a diet some people would dream of being able to commit to.

i forget to eat and i regret to inform you we are not immune to this

fwiw that's actually why I think I'm healthier when I have those meal replacement shakes in the house somewhere. People always are like "ew why would you replace meals with that?". But they actually don't. They replace NOT having meals. Because when I have that "one more thing to do", if don't eat something super low effort right when I think about it, I'm just gonna power through and forget again.

Im just extremely depressed :3

Worse yet, there are people who don't eat breakfast. Do they photosynthesize their food instead?

I don't get hungry often, at least not the way I think normal people do. I usually go from 'fine' to 'more than mildly queasy' in a couple minutes, then I have to rush to find something to throw in my stomach. It's like flipping a light switch. This usually only happens when I have some project I'm focusing on.

Ate without table -3

I'm really fat, so as long as I have water, electrolytes, and a multivitamin I could probably go for several months without food before really bad stuff started happening

As it stands, a day or two barely registers

If this resonates with you, please check for sugar related health issues. (I am not saying you have them, but it is time to check.)

If I could, I'd never have to eat again. I hate having to eat all the time. Hunger always throws you off what you're doing. Sure, I love delicious food, but giving it up and never having to think about "what am I going to eat today, when am I going to cook it..."? Anytime.

I grew up glued to my PS1/PS2 playing until I was dehydrated with a headache and my eyes burning.

Those aren't mutually exclusive (send help)

I work from home, IT, 8-10 hours sitting, programming. If I ate five meals a day I'd weight a ton in few months.

Fasting helps me keeping the callory intake down. First meal at 3-6pm then some snack in the evening, keeping sugar intake low. If I eat in the morning I feel bloated and sluggish + at around 2pm I feel tired.

Not eating keeps me fresh.

One thing that gets me about TV and movies is when people dramatically storm away from the dinner table. I don't think I've EVER seen anybody IRL stop eating and leave just because they were mad. But forgetting to eat is on a whole other level. It's like oops, I forgot all about breathing in and out - better write that on a Post-It.

Not everybody is blessed with a super metabolism CATE. Check your privilege.

I used to think I was the same way but started omad to lose weight and you do get used to it. As long as there’s enough protein and fiber and the meal is big enough then I’m completely fine for 24 hours at a time.
