Wow!  This is the answer I've been looking for for so long!  I used to
think there was something wrong with me for needing breakfast, but
recently I noticed if I deliberately go without food I can last from
waking (between 6-7am) to dinner time (about 12-1pm).  I get a short
sharp pang in the morning that disappears after about 15mins,
especially if I have a warm drink (gingseng is my current morning
pick-me-up).

I often feel like a piece of fruit in the morning, so maybe it is
having fruit right before bed that does it for me.  I've taken to
rhubarb stewed with pears or wild apples as a late snack.  My problem
is I love fruit, although since I've cut down I've gained a lot more
self-control about eating the stuff.

I wish it was easy to tell what you can and can't eat, but after 6
months of paleo I still haven't got it sussed.
