When I first went ZC from vegetarian, I was eating 3 times a day. That fell to two, with me eating at about 1ish and then about 9 ish before bed. Then I found that I kept pushing my first meal later. It got to 2, then 3, then 4. Finally, it did not make sense to bring food to work anymore. I now eat only in the window and feel fabulous. You can read more about this in my first journal post. I also have fasting research in there.
I drink mugs of hot water and green/white tea during the day, but no food until the window opens. On days I work out after work, like today, I consume a small beef meal (I'm ZC, meat only) at 5 when the window opens and lift, then eat my meal at 9 as I do normally. On a non-work out day like yesterday, I do not eat until 9. So I always eat in the window, but I don't like to lift weights completely fasted, so I eat about .5lb. of ground beef before going.
What I would suggest, jellysoda, is continuing to push your first meal forward. Do it one hour at a time, and hold for a week or so until you feel ready to move on.
It is easier the lower carb you are. I like the Warrior Diet e-book, but I ignore the nutrition advice in there. I like the information about how we were meant to undereat during the day and overeat at night. You can download it online.
