I started eating one meal a day a few weeks ago. At first I had huge dinners but they’ve tapered off a bit and are now substantial but not crazy, and usually a small snack an hour or so later depending on how I feel. Combined with morning body weight training / running (which feels awesome when fasted) I’m really enjoying it. The few days when I’ve eaten during the day have left me feeling heavy and bloated and the hunger during the day has gone. It’s very doable.

Almost any lifestyle or diet change can be held for a few weeks. Most studies that show participants losing weight after a diet change don't hold up over longer periods (subjects are back to their old weight after a year).
I’ve been paying attention to my diet and exercise routine for a few years now and am quite happy with where I am, so I’m really not sure how relevant your comment is. I have no intention of losing weight. I’m more interested in how enjoyable this routine is, how it helps me keep an eye on my macros and how they impact training, and how much I enjoy food too.

So far I’m quite happy with it. I’m more interested in creating varied and interesting dinners, I’m still performing well with the workouts and I feel I have more time during the day as I’m not preparing and eating food so often.

Just my 2c.
