I'm 6'3".  I have pretty broad shoulders so my frame is just bigger than average guy.

I say to each their own.  No two bodies are the same.  Sure you want to keep your metabolism going throughout day but I am one who eats either one or two meals before work (I work second shift) then pretty much nothing the rest of day.  I might eat variety of fruit after work but it is past 3 am and no point eating meal that late.  I also don't eat during lunch at work because I don't want to have to take a shit at work.  I've lost 17 lbs in past month but mainly that is because I went to 0 on beer calories compared to 5000+ during my heavy weekend drinking days.  Basically I'm losing all my beer fat.

As a general rule of thumb, any diet advice from someone who uses the term "fatties" is probably best to ignore for safety sake.

As for fasting being a known healing technique for millennia ... (as in thousands of years) I really have to say [citation needed]

For thousands of years, beginning with philosophers like Hippocrates, Socrates and Plato, fasting was recommended for health reasons. The Bible writes that Moses and Jesus fasted for 40 days for spiritual renewal.

Wow apparently passed my plateau. Finally got lots of sleep and have just been eating around 1.5k or so calories. I dropped 6 lbs in 1 day. Just woke up and weighed myself and that's after eating probably about 1.2k calories earlier today. 

I'm like Chris Pratt on Parks and Rec when he came back all skinny from his start in movie rolls.  Believe Ben on show asked him how he lost so much weight.  Pratt responded well I quit drinking beer for a month.  Which I believe Ben responded back how much beer did you drink?

I've been losing weight off and on over the past 2 or 3 years. I had become obese at 510 pounds. I have lost 160 pounds and am currently weighing 350 pounds. I tried different diets. First was the Keto diet but for me it was far to riggid and I would end up bindge eating at the first hint of failure. 3 months ago a discovered through pain and inflamation (and xrays) that I have oseto arthritis in my knees. The best way to deal with that problem is massively reducing my weight. I had recently been doing some research on what causes the struggles i was having with bindge eating and had been moving towards striat up calorie counting as my weight loss method. The arithritus was the kick in the ass i needed to really focus on the weight loss. Well.. 90 days and 50 pounds later and im still counting calories and zero bindge eating. I treat myself to things i like every day and just add up everything i eat into the my fitness pal app on my iphone. Im on quite a roll and hope to be down close to 300 by years end. And my long term goal is to get under 200 pounds.

Damn sounds like you are making major progress.  I blew out my knee awhile back and never went to doctor but it eventually healed.  I noticed major difference in way knee felt once I lost like 70 lbs to get to my normal weight.  Well three years later after drinking tons put some of the weight on but now I'm only about 25 lbs from my goal.  I'm sure your knees are already thanking you. 

Never had too much problem binge eating except maybe when smoke weed and get munchies.  Beer was my major problem but going on 15 days not a single drop.

Binge eating is quite natural to us and is likely what we have done for millions of years before the 5-meals a day modern routine. One trick is to avoid hyperpalatable processed food (cake, sandwiches, etc.) and only binge on whole foods (steak, eggs, nothing sugary) followed by a 24h fast. You can have your binge if you do the fasting too.

A side problem of long-term calorie counting is that your body will adapt and reduce metabolic rate and burn fewer calories. Binging+fasting is much better for fat loss than calorie counting.

Recently, a second trial directly compared zero-calorie alternate-day fasting and daily caloric restriction in obese adults. The Caloric Reduction as Primary (CRaP) strategy was designed to subtract 400 calories per day from the estimated energy requirements of participants. The ADF group ate normally on eating days, but ate zero calories every other day. The study lasted 24 weeks.

What were the conclusions? First, the most important conclusion was that this was a safe and effective therapy that anybody could reasonably follow. In terms of weight lost, fasting did better, but only marginally. This is consistent with most studies, where, in the short term, any decent diet produces weight loss. However, the devil is in the details. The truncal fat loss, which reflects the more dangerous visceral fat, was almost twice as good with fasting as opposed to CRaP. In fat mass %, there is almost 6 times (!) the amount of loss of fat using fasting.

The though part is to keep doing it - losing weight for a week or two, or even a month sometimes may not be too hard, but trying to keep it going through life can be hard (it depends a lot on your character, and how you like your new diet, or how you loved what you had before).

Did you really cite the Bible as a fact for fasting being a good way to heal? Please take that books advice and don't eat for the next 40 days, I'll check back into this thread in a months time to see how you're getting on. You should be really spiritually renewed, and also obviously dead.
