Richard,

I'm considering trying a warrior-style paleo.  The people I work with
are constantly complaining about the smell of my food or making
comments about the food I eat.  I suspect it's because they eat garbage
all day and have forgotten what meat even looks like.  I generally eat
mince with a bit of cooked veg, such as onions, broccoli or
cauliflower- and it never smells unpleasant to me.

I work 9-5.30.  It would be a bit of a rush to eat after work but I
could manage it.  (I am very busy in the evenings.)  I've noticed that
since I started skipping breakfast I get a hunger pang around 10am
which then subsides.  I get very gradually more hungry as the day goes
on.  If I start fasting until 6pm will my daytime hunger disappear?  I
don't want to be distracted all day because I'm starving.  Ideally, I
wish I could go all day without thinking about food, and only eat at 6
because I know I'd be hungry later, and not because I am hungry then.
I eat more than enough calories (and mostly as fat too), but my body is
always asking for more.

I've taken to drinking green tea, usually 2-4 cups small during the
day.  Is this a good idea or not?  I don't know what the effect of
caffeine on BG levels is.  I am suspect I have quite severe insulin
resistance despite being stick-thin, and don't want to aggravate my
system.
