Yep, this is the way I've always seen it too. You need to avoid the eat/crash/eat/crash cycle. For me the best fit is to eat breakfast, then don't eat anything until dinner. For others it's skipping a day. For others it's only eating in a 6 hour window. It really does look like an addiction and it is helpful to frame it that way. The key element in all of these is that you need to force your body off of blood-sugar, and the only way to do so is to be off of it for a long enough time that half-life diminishes to nothing. This needs to be normal and your body needs to be used to this.
