When do you eat that one meal of the day, and what does it typically consist of?
I've been doing something similar over the last few months - a very light breakfast, a solid lunch, and then no dinner - but for me, doing this was with the purpose of losing weight - which did happen, at the rate of just under 1 kg a week.

I eat dinner only, quite a lot for dinner and I can graze for the rest of the night. I like going to bed with a full stomach. I don't really get hungry during the day, drink plenty of water and exercise at 3:30, then I'm hungry after that. I eat most stuff, but keep pretty low on sugars, starchy stuff and eat more fat than most.

Friends also think it's a bit bizarre, but it works for me too and I'm used to it. Definitely feel more mentally alert - all the time, and don't get the after lunch tiredness anymore.
This is obviously just anecdotal, but for me, I certainly feel more mentally alert during a fasted state; though I wouldn't say I've been sick any more / less than other times in my life.
Friends think I'm quite bizarre for eating this way - but it just seems to work for me.
