[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1916897, member: 93179"] I'd also suggest breakfast, or as a poor second, dinner, as either of these may well give you the longest fasting period. Breakfast is probably also the easiest to skip time and preparation wise, but its really a matter of what schedule best suits [B]you[/B], and what [B]you[/B]'ll find easiest to stick to. Breakfast is the one meal I'm most used to going without, as I've never been a breakfast eater for most of my life. But I currently work on the principle that I don't eat if I'm not hungry whatever meal this might be, and it's far easier to think "[I]I don't want to eat now" [/I]rather than[I] [/I]having to accept that [I]"I'm not allowed to eat now"! [/I]And while this may not be "structured" fasting, those options do at least give give my pancreas a welcome (approx) 12 hour break. I've found if I've cut meals out over several days, then my glucose levels do go up a little but will come down again, and I assume it's just my liver trying to do its job and thinking my throats been cut, so maybe being a little over enthusiastic.
