[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2450868, member: 506169"] [USER=23898]@pinkfoot[/USER] When considering time restricted eating or moving to 2 or 2 meal per day, its important to find something that works for you and your circumstances . Some just postpone breakfast a few hours to make for a 14 hr fat or more. Some eat breakfast and lunch only, thus extending the fast from the other side. But as with carbs, only do what your body finds comfortable. I didn't start skipping breakfast until I was confident that I was fully 'fat adapted'. I realised that I had been eating breakfast just because I was used to eating breakfast rather than doing it because I was actually hungry. By that time my HbA1C was already back inside the pre-diabetic range (without medication) and I was feely good on my low carb way of eating. So it was a simple step to try waiting until I was hungry before eating - which generally turned out to be between 14:00 and 16:00 But this doesn't fit in very well on weekdays, so I eat 2 meals per day with lunch at 12:30 on weekdays, but only one meal per day at around 15:00 on weekends.
