I'll have a low carb brekkie, then eat nothing more until dinner at around 7:00. That's just skipping a meal in my book, but fasting sounds a bit more, well, noble.It's partly a habit developed as a result of having too many children to look after  :roll:  but oddly I find it most sustainable if I've had a long bike ride during the day. After a few hours in the saddle, I have no appetite for quite a while.I think this is most likely due to the catabolic effect of exercise, switching the body over to burning stored fuel. Anabolism and catabolism tend not to happen simultaneously and the low insulin levels make this catabolic state easier to achieve so that cellular energy can be maintained without added dietary calories.By 7:00 it's time for insulin and anabolism once again.All the best,fergus</blockquote>
