Lea, The 1 hour for breakfast starts is the time your feet hit the floor.

Fasting is not recommended on this program. You could eat fruit for dinner (depends on what step you are on) but I know for me if I was to eat fruit for dinner it would have the save affect as eating candy for dinner. It is sugar only in a different form.

Good luck and keep us posted. I was on step 1 for a very long time.
