I have been on the eating-once-per-day diet for about 2 years now and do 
very well with it. I will "cheat" fairly often for social reasons or on 
vacation but basically stick to it. I think your body learns how to 
control its own blood sugar without food and maintains more sensitivity 
to insulin.

I think there is evidence that estrogen can increased insulin resistance 
and it is logical that women would respond differently to this type of 
diet. I also think that eating more frequently have been more paleo for 
hunter-gatherer women than it was for men.
