I second that.  I make breakfast and lunch at the same time (lunch goes
to work with me), takes about 30 minutes or so.  I typically make a
stir-fry -- they're fast, easy, and tasty.  Dinner usually takes a
similar amount of time, so all told that's an hour a day.

Some days it's considerably less -- if I'm in a hurry I'll grab a bunch
of raw veggies and fruits, some nuts, and call it good.

I don't know about the adrenal issue, but I do know that intermittent
fasting is natural and not harmful to a healthy person.  It's not like
paleo man had a supermarket he could run to if he was hungry.  Some days
the hunt was good, some days he went home empty handed.
