Like I said in another post I just sent, I'm a definite anti-grazer!
Since I read about intermittent fasting I've decided that it's
definitely a more natural way to eat, and has "proven" (a word I always
use lightly) health benefits- providing you are otherwise healthy and
can take the physical stress.

I used to eat breakfast, an 11ish snack, dinner, an afternoon snack,
tea, an evening snack, and something before bed.  Now I eat "breakfast"
at 6pm and dinner at 10pm.  If it wasn't for my awkward schedule I'd
merge them into one meal around 7pm.  Maybe in a few years time I will
extend this even more, and have alternate feeding/fasting days (my
fasting days might include a few veg).  But my body isn't read for that
yet.
