My understanding is that it doesn't work the same way for everyone. My theory is just that if you're insulin sensitive, then concentrating your eating to one small part of the day levels your blood sugar and hormones out for the rest of the day. My experience is: once I start eating during a day, I will be hungry for the rest of the day. If I just don't eat, I basically don't ever get hungry: I'll know it's time to eat when I start getting headaches and dizziness.

Same experience for me. I wake up late in the morning and it's common for me to fast all day until the evening. I find that if I have breakfast or lunch, then I'm hungry throughout the day, and require several more meals to feel satiated. If I wake up and have only coffee, then I feel OK until the evening meal.

Strange how the body works.

I'm in this boat as well. Usually awake for ~6 hours before eating, and do not ever feel hungry in the morning, ever. That's not to say I can't wolf down a big breakfast, though...

Ever try bulletproof coffee? I had a pretty good experience with it. Especially because I don't like coffee black, and with bulletproof I was able to have coffee and still not add any sugars.

That's why you shouldn't skip breakfast entirely when you're dieting (at least that's what I've read). The stomach 'wakes up' when you first eat something, and uses more energy from that point on. If you eat something small, you'll feel hungry for more of the morning - because the extra activity from your stomach puts you in energy debt.

Huh - I feel that way with regards to food, in that once I eat I keep wanting to the rest of the day. Maybe I'll give this a shot...
