Actually, I don't eat breakfast until 10, lunch at 1, and snack at 4. I see what you are saying though. I think the time between meals is most likely the culprit. Thanks for your feedback- I downloaded the template and will study it.

I'm on day 27, & I've been 100% compliant. While this is a tough eating plan, I've loved it. I got tiger blood about a week ago and felt amazing, but yesterday and today, horribly weak and freezing cold. I had gained about 8 pounds prior to starting, and I suspect I've now shed most of that, so that might account for the feeling cold (plus I live in frigid Iowa!) However, I'm struggling to understand and manage the weakness. I do a stretching workout for 30 minutes at 6:00 am, and then follow it up with either boot camp or my elliptical for 30-45 minutes. Then I eat breakfast- eggs, sweet potatoes, lots of veggies, bacon bits/avocado. (again-all compliant.) I normally eat lunch (meats and veggies) about 3 hours later. Then I have a fruit/nut meal around 4 because I'm conditioned not to eat after that time nor do meat and veggies appeal to me. I have done intermittent fasting for several years, and I'm wondering if the lapse of not eating for 17ish hours might be the culprit to my weakness. Any suggestions or thoughts?
