I don't fast for 24 hours ever but, i follow a diet created by Martin Berkhan at leangains.com; i fast for 16hrs and feed for 8hrs. basically taking in about 1800-2000 calories in that 8 hour period. I work out hard and use reverse pyramid training with only 7 different exercises i do total and i have gained 5lbs in lean muscle and went down from 36 pants to 34 in two weeks.

I think that is the biggest key to lasting results (enjoying how and what you eat). Well said Douglas, especially about enjoying simple foods more often.

Skip meals regularly, and eat only when you get good and hungry. You stay healthier and enjoy simple food much more.

I feel better, my blood pressure is lower, I am more aware of what I am putting into my mouth and my digestion is noticably different. Had never heard of IF until after I started, but it seems to be putting me on track to the life I deserve to lead. I haven't been hungry since day 5 and I have lost 20 pounds!

Yes, I meant IF. Oh yes...the familiar-sounding blood sugar argument. Perhaps the "eat more in the AM" idea developed in the first place after grains and refined carbs took over as dietary staples...leading to very crabby sluggish people in the morning. In truth, until half a year ago I used to always be light-headed and listless in the morning despite a good sleep. That was still the time I was following conventional wisdom about low-fat, lots of grain etc. I gradually busted my fear of fat, switched to being lacto-primal, and it's been working wonders for weight loss and toning with some light resistance exercises. Now I've been on a plateau for over a month, and since I'm probably more conditioned to fast after cutting out the grains and refined sugar, it was probably time to bust my fear of skipping a meals and eater slightly larger, infrequent meals. Had my last meal at 7pm yesterday and as I'm typing this morning I'm having just my daily coconut oil in herb tea instead of a heavy breakfast, and I'll see how far I last (at max until lunch for now I think). So far I feel focused enough to type English :) Thanks for your reply, and keep up the great website! Oops my inner geek slipped out. Yes, I meant IF.

Honestly the whole "eat more in the AM" is a modern concept....as people over the past centuries ate light (if at all in the AM) and then rewarded a hard days work with a larger family style dinner. The "research" on breakfast being so important is usually based around people who may have low blood sugar issues (which even stress can do that), and/or those who end up rebound binge eating later. Everyone is different, but a healthy person with a healthy glucose metabolism and non-high stress lifestyle should be OK with going a bit without needing food to balance blood sugar. Many have a bit of coffee/tea in the AM as well. Try IF once and a while and see how you react at first, then you will really know for sure. Most people say they have more mental focus and energy when they eat very light or not at all.
