I do similarly for many years, my no_calories window is between 10pm and 12-noon. This is very simple, just avoid any breakfast and drink some water instead.

Also important to quit coffee, I find it improves a lot of things (after a week of withdrawal symptoms).

What improvements have you noticed after quitting coffee? I ask, because I drink coffee in the morning during the fast. From everything I've read, it doesn't break the fast.

Btw, I don't use coffee as a sleep substitute. I wake up every morning without an alarm. I drink coffee for the taste. I simply love it.

Better mood and feeling more energized through the day. Better vision. The latest is quite strange, but I can really see better, probably a side effect of improved concentration and calmness.

Hmm, I always heard to do the opposite, to eat breakfast even when not too hungry (which I never am in the morning).

Possibly an idea promoted by breakfast cereal manufacturers. Dietary recommendations are corrupted by industry.
