For thousands of years, most Indians(as in from India) ate twice a day. The 1st meal was usually between 10 am to 1 pm. The 2nd meal was before 7 pm(sunset).
I used to be overweight(my eating window was about 14 hours) and then I switched to a strict 2 meals a day diet(8 hr eating window) -- the 1st meal at 10 am and the second before 7 pm. Add a lil bit yoga and walking, I lost about 10 kg in 6 weeks.
Indian Ayurveda books talk about not eating/consuming any food after sunset.
Older folks (presumably retired) can get away with eating a whole lot less. Piety probably provides the means and structure to keep the 1/day in place.
