When I started at first I had some difficulty. I didn't stop eating all
at once. I would eat some nuts or a piece of fruit in the afternoon. The
adjustment period took maybe a week or 10 days.

I wouldn't want to eat in the morning. I get sleepy when I do eat.
Hofmekler says this is a natural time to eat a lot and indeed, it is my
experience that it works best to eat my main meal at night.
