My experience with a fasting/feasting schedule has actually improved my
craving resistance. Typically, if I eat breakfast, I find myself hungry by
lunchtime or famished by dinner... with cravings to match. If I fast all day
until dinner time, I have almost zero cravings and any cravings I do
experience are slight and easily manageable. And, FWIW, my energy levels
throughout the day remain high since switching to this fasting/feasting
schedule. When eating throughout the day, I often found myself dragging by
midday. The only thing I have to be careful about is getting enough to eat
at dinner time... it wouldn't do well for my body to go into a starvation
mode and ruin my results to date.
