 The body gets used to the frequent washing and can take awhile to adapt when it's suddenly stopped. Amazing what the body is capable of!

Food is a similar example - we don't need nearly as much as we think. My friend only eats/drinks in a 1-hour window each day, and has been doing that for years while running a landscaping company he does the majority of the manual labor for.

 Thanks for the sats, ive still not got used to zapping yet. It feels abit odd, but I do love the appreciation. Thank you. 👍
The eating once a day, I've done this for extended periods a few years ago. You are correct,  after body has adapted, don't get hunger pangs at all, and I've even done strenuous out door work on full energy. Yes, experience tells me 💯 spot on. It was surprising that my energy / mood was more constant rather than ups and down having multiple meals. I have 2 meals currently. No snacks.
When I read your message on the non wash no shower really got my attention because I vividly remember at the end of the 2nd week smelling myself, and there was no smell. But then I did a search online and there were all these scare stories that you would get ill and all sorts and I just gave in had a shower. There was a feeling of freshness after the shower which felt nice. And then I just carried on showering after that. 

How long have you been do no wash no shower, washing 5 times a  year? Do you wash your hair / beard more often?

I do believe you when you say you smell better than most, because at the end of my 2nd week experiment, I didn't smell either. And this was confirmed by my other half and she said I smelled fine, no BO at all. She thought I'd had a shower. Lol.

Thanks for sharing this, its very inspiring and fascinating to hear what you've done.

 I've been doing 5 washes (more like 1 or 2) a year for over three years. I've also lived outdoors that whole time.

I don't wash my hair any more frequently. In fact, it needs washing the least. 

In truth, those infrequent washings aren't even necessary. I could go years without even 1 washing.

 Thats quite amazing Cahlen, your skin, hair, beard, looks very clean, and young. Although you have some grey hair its very apparant you look considerably younger than you are. Extremely impressive. 

Will check out more of your videos. You are a very fascinating man. A real modern day wizard. 🪄

Cheers,
