How much weight have you lost? Were you somehow obese? Were you fit? Have you lost muscle mass?

Sorry if I'm getting too personal, genuinely interested.

I have lost ~10lbs, but I was not overweight (on the high side of normal BMI, but I also lift weights). My muscle mass seems unaffected (or even slightly greater) - these days at the gym I only aim to maintain what I have, and my lifts have even improved slightly.

I see, thanks.

What prompted you to go for just one meal a day?

I lift as well but I only eat larger amounts during recovery. I am also training less as my priorities have shifted for a period of time.
