Herschel Walker: One Meal a Day, 750 to 1,500 push-ups/ 2,000 sit-ups.
- Thread starter Maxxam
- Start date
Some great convo in this thread. I'm always looking for new ways to shake up my training.
I'm gonna try this one mel shit out....but I need to point out that Herschel isn't a 9 to 5 worker! thats a big factor, homey is probably living a way more active and healthy lifestyle during the day than most office warriors.
anyway I kind of believe the one vegetarian meal shit because basically the more I eat the less athletic I feel, and the more I exercise the less I want to eat.

my gramps is 99 and he eats all fucking day long.
i cooked for him a couple years back and this ninja took 2 hours to eat and then wanted ANOTHER plate.
ate it too then the itis hit him and he was out.

FYI... I only know about these dudes because researched the subject before I started to eat once a day. I was skeptical too...

Threads, articles, and books that touch on these subjects, really have me re-evaluating my "traditional" training methods and diet.
Over the years, I think I've short changed the potential of the human body...sometimes going against what I felt was natural and what my body was telling me. Eating for eating sakes... training for training sakes.
I've got to sit down and really revamp they way I go about my business.

General McChrystal (I know you remember him) eats one meal a day and sleeps 4 hrs... and runs 7-8 miles daily.
A common theme that Ive come across with people who eat once a day/regular fasters is they seem to need less sleep. 4-6 hours isnt uncommon.

Here's the thread at bodybuilding.com on intermittent fasting I mentioned earlier. It was started by Martin Berkhan of leangains in 2007 and almost 4 years and 325 pages later it is still active. Why? Because it works. You can see some regular men/women who use IF, some of which do it in a one meal per day style. Some before and after pics are in the thread... you may have to register to see members' profiles.

That is what I was thinking I was going to start with.
Some guys can go do that one meal thing cold turkey but I am going to try the fasting approach in small phases until it becomes easier for me
If I don't eat breakfast I get lightheaded and the rest of my day goes to shit from there...a hungry man is an angry man...but I heard somewhere can't remember if it was on tv or reading it on this board but they said eat breakfast like a king lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper and it got me to thinking...once I have breakfast I usually good...lunch just fills me up...and dinner for me is just out of being a lil greedy + accustomed to it
breakfast should be the biggest, or at least the heartiest meal of the day. I'm with you, a good breakfast usually does me good for the remainder of the day. Very small meals and snacks are what I consume for the remainder of the day.
The thing that a lot of people are missing is that if you listen to the interview, he said that he will have juices. He said he only eats once a day, but has juices in between.
More cardio, and not just running yourself to death on the treadmill, just moving around, sort of like that p90x but less intense, consistency is the key...I am going to start doing more and see what results it presents as well and more veggies trying to ween myself off of meat...
Isn't that the way lions and animals in the jungle do it though, upon waking go in search for food, I don't think they spend all day looking for mood, I may be wrong though, but I think they eat one good meal and repeat the same the next day upon waking...hmmm, if it works for them could work for humans...
I caught that, will be protein shakes for me though...

Good drop on this cat. I went to his website and he was actually eating 2 meals a day for a while but now he eats 3.
I'm naturally slim and I have a high metabolism so I have to eat 3 quality meals a day just to maintain my weight. The crazy thing is that if I workout less, I lose weight easily because I'm not re-fueling my body as much. I'm going to try to gain 10 lbs of muscle mass this year so I'm going to have to do some heavier lifting and and intake more food for energy. I'm trying to do this the all natural way too, so it's going to be a challenge.
Excellent info... I'm looking to lose about 20lbs... I had a heart issue in the summer and my doctor told me to stop working out until I get my issue under control... Now that I'm better... I want to get down to my natural weight... Thank for the tips... Peace.
Yea....i eat about two meals a day..sometime 3. the biggest meal is in the morning. the only time i lack a little energy is when i dont get any sleep or If i work out for too long without refueling....those are the only times.
As for Jack....he ate meat...but it was limited amounts. Mainly fish and egg whites. Most of his meals were raw fruits and veggies....combination of drinking and eating.
Of course genetics plays its part...but like someone stated before...you just gotta try things out and see what works for you...everyones body is different.
BTW...a lot of those people that ate one meal per day stil ate/drunk things throughout the day. they ate tiny SNACKS...not MEALS. MEALS is the operative word. a large amount of fruits and vegetables are extremely low in calories, fat, etc. Example...a half of a pound of spinach (which is a lot when u visually see it) is only 52 calories. eating that .5 pound is almost like eating nothing....but it gives you a shit load of much needed vitamins. eating one MEAL a day..but snacking on a small salad or eating a apple or something in between time aint gonna kill you or completely prevent your body from doing what it normally does.
I currently eat healthy....but one thing I need to do more of is eat more raw foods.
.....and stick to a work out routine. i go for about 6 months then take long breaks.

Shit I can go sat, sun, and mon on one meal. I work those days and i forget to eat until late. Its the weekdays that I'm in college that I really need to eat.
Hershel doesnt drink that shit. He's never bought into loading up on protein or supplements.
So this cat is maintaining that build solely on one meal? man...got-damn.... genetics play a huge part of it as well with Walker I think...because I couldnt do it...I lose lean mass easily when Im not eating sufficienty.
Ive done lots of different things... 6 small a day, all organic, vegan, etc types of diets... so Im pretty disciplined but gonna see if I can do something like this...but my fucking appetite goes bananas when Im working out intensily..

what going to happen to him in his strikeforce fight tonight
Thats the program for the masses of Black folk. We should all be following that.
I ate one meal a day for a few years and was in the best shape of my life... leaned out and had MORE energy than when I ate 3-5 meals. I play basketball several times per week for 3-5 hrs in a fasted state with no issues whatsoever. i wasn't shredded like Herschel, but I was 8-10%BF at about 200lbs. There was an adjustment period of maybe 7-12 days, but after that it was smooth sailing. Eating 5-6 times a day really doesnt make since... I believe that must have been started by supplement companies. Remember when you only needed 3 meals? In 2020 it will be 8 meals
I fell off the wagon during the holidays but I'm in the process of getting back on the program
Thats Truth I totally agree. To those who dont believe Hershel's regimine to be true. Hes been on that same regimen the past 30years. That was his daily program when he was playing. The man was an absolute beast when he played. Do you guys remember how the Dallas Cowboys dynasty was started in the early 90's? Dallas traded Hershel to Minnesota for almost all if not all their draft picks in one years draft.
The body is machine and everybodies is different. It also adjusts to the regimen and routines if you treat it right. And like you said, genetics always play a part. Im a one meal a day guy, two on occasions, but never more than that (unless im being a glutten on vacation/holiday). Serves me well. Anything more has always weighed me down. Typical days i do a fruit smoothie, a veggie smoothie and a meal.
Ive always been of the opinion that putting all that crap in your body keeps your body busy processing and digesting when it could be focusing on other areas of health and maintenance.
Ive never understood the six small meal a day crowd. I know it works for them but it just isnt for me. I could never intake all that food everyday.
After an intense work I am starving man.
I gain the most lean mass when doing 6 smaller meals...but they are small meals that keep my metabolism high all day.
Im going to try this though man...ive read about all the benefits of a low calorie diet...and a lot you cats are vouching for this
i guess Im just going to have to slowly work my way down to 1 or 2 per day with doing some juicing...it makes more sense in terms of overall health and im more concerned with that than physique
I here you. But you metabolism will be just fine without that crap. Im not shitting on it, its just not for me. I remember we discussed fasting and juicing a few years ago. Did you ever seriously get into it? You really should, especially considering the amble amounts of year round beautiful fruits and veggies you have access to there. But i guess it all depends on your goals, if you're into bodybuilding or some ridiculous shit like that then by all means eat 6 meals. Otherwise it isnt needed, and in my opinion there are smarter options.
