Thanks for link, will read & come back to share my thoughts.

I'm STILL eating only 2 big meals a day... and, loving it. Skipping breakfast in favor of a cup of coffee with HWC and coconut oil works better than I could have dreamed. I do not get hungry between meals! In fact, some of my meals, even dinner, are small, without affecting my appetite.

It's my own theory that my pancreas works by dumping a truckload of insulin when it gets the call from my stomach. After years of expecting lotsa carbs when that phone rings, I'm not surprised

So when the tanker car of insulin arrives, it finds a big meal to work on; but it also does not need a second delivery, as it would with a high carb meal. So it keeps me "even" and lies low until the big meal six or more hours later. I routinely IF from 7 pm to noon the next day... a 19 hour stretch. On long weekends, I find I can shut the window to 5 hours, but this doesn't work on weekdays.

AND I continued this pattern over the holidays, with occasional gluten free indulgences, and still maintained!

I share my thoughts in this thread, which helped many:
