There is a thread in the General LC forum and I believe a thread in the Buddies, Countdowns & Challenges Forum.

I'm basically doing informal IFing with Atkins. I fast approx 18 hours and eat for approx 6 hours. I break my fast around noon each day, and eat dinner around 6 pm. If I get hungry in between I eat, but usually I don't. I really like it. It meets all my needs:

-I'm not hungry in the AM anyway, so I don't eat
-I like eating bigger meals, so I get to eat 2 bigger meals per day, instead of 3 smaller ones.

Someday, I would like to eat just one large meal a day, but I can't do that right now. I need the emotional release of a lunch. I know it sounds weird, but with 3 little kids, getting to eat to a nice lunch makes me feel better! Maybe when they all get in school, I will strive for 1 large dinner a day.

Anyway, check out those threads.
