I feel I'm moving quite naturally towards 'one meal a day' in the early evening. Apart from that, I take just water or black coffee. I've heard a couple of people (I think Jason Fung, Caryn Zinn) mention the idea that if you get into too much of a routine, the body may adapt by lowering the metabolic rate. Jason Fung presents evidence to say that fasting, as opposed to, say, three smaller meals a day, doesn't have this effect, though I doubt that the evidence-base is very strong due to a lack of research. Caryn Zinn suggests that it may be an idea to 'keep the body guessing' a bit, by varying eating and fasting patterns (within the context of a low-carb diet) so that there isn't a normal, stable state for the body to adapt to.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas/experiences to share here, or can point towards any interesting research.
