I can attest that practicing low protein for first half of the day feels as good if not better than my old glory days of intermittent fasting (before the stress from that took its toll). I find if I avoid protein until lunch I feel best. I have been following this plan for about 6 months and think it has reversed the kidney pain I was having near the start of my ‘peating’ early on this year. I am not experiencing the same weight loss like I did from I.F. - but my energy in the morning is greatly improved when I avoid protein. High protein breakfasts knock me out, so much that all I feel like doing is sleeping immediately after. I am not exactly sure why I react this way, but I think the load a high protein diet puts on the kidneys must have something to do with it.
