There is some effect at work here though, individual experiences may differ. If I eat one meal per day after that meal I will feel lazy and quite tired.

So if I finally ate at 6pm, hours later than 6pm I would feel like sleeping.

If I finally eat any later than 6pm I will start getting weak/shaky beyond 6pm.

This isn't a result of lack of acclimation. I've done fasting for 4+ month stretches multiple times in the past 6 years and have even experimented with 24+ hour fasts on a regular basis.

It takes some days/weeks (dependending on the individual) for your body to switch from carbs-only to carbs & fat burning so when you feel lazy and tired it is because your body is not properly burning fat to supply you with the energy required thus asks for food always that it depletes carbs of easy access.

Yup! I feel the same. I eat 8-9pm and around 11pm I sleep like a baby. Win-win.

> This isn't a result of lack of acclimation.

Now this is a point difficult to prove.

I've done keto for many months, so I'm quite used to the switch-over you describe.
