Last year, 2017, I switched to a strict vegetarian diet. I stuck to it the full year and had no plans in abandoning it.
This year, 2018, I have switched to a 1 meal a day diet.
Why? I find scheduling things around meals uses up too much time. Why waste 3 hours a day on multiple meals when I can get the whole process done in under an hour? Also, I am a big fan of food, I like eating big meals, and this way I can do that =D
Also, there are the hormonal benefits. Plus, I give the digestive system a break each day.
Like switching to a strict vegetarian diet, it's not something I am rushing into - I alternated between pescetarian (like a vegetarian who cheats by eating fish), raw pescetarian (sushi), and lacto/ovo vegetarian for over a decade.
I began a 16:8 diet (16 hours no eating, 8 hour feed period) back in the early summer, and I switched to a 20:4 diet about a week after Halloween (and gaining several pounds by eating lots of potato chips and candy). I have been doing the 1 meal a day thing for about two weeks now, and it doesn't feel any different than 20:4. It's easy. The most notable adjustment in diet timing was going to the 16:8 diet, as I felt ravenous as a result of missing breakfast... for about a week and a half. Now I usually don't feel hungry for 24 hours, but my capacity to eat a gigantic meal still exists.
Here's a Jaffa Warrior doing an extreme version of what I am doing.
Here's an old guy in his 60s, John Rose, who is doing something similar. He does a raw food diet. He talks about shit in this video.
and, of course, Herschel Walker.
