Welcome! It's a nice group, I think you'll like it here.
Everyone has different takes on this, but my take is:
be easy on yourself. Unless you have done fasting before,
take Bert's advice: move back your breakfast by half an hour
a day.
Also, be sure to get plenty of protein. Don't combine this diet
with others, esp. not at first. Just eat according to what you want,
but go for the "good foods" (protein, vegies) before the high glycemic
stuff. Don't beat yourself up if you feel like you are "eating too much",
esp. in the first month. Things settle out after a bit.
If you need to take medications etc. with food outside your window,
taking them with some fiber (konjac, celery, a raw carrot) can
allow your stomach to be happy without messing up your insulin
levels.
Hot water with a little lemon juice is useful for the occasional
hunger pang.
Otherwise, there really isn't much to it. It's kind of a no-brainer,
which makes people think "I must be missing something".
