The primary benefit of fasting is decreases IGF-I. And sleep counts as fasting.
So.. what if one simply skipped breakfast and delayed lunch to the afternoon?

AFAIK, skipping breakfast is a good predictor of cardiovascular disease (skipping breakfast --> higher chance of stroke, higher blood pressure etc.).

That's likely true for the kind of people who skip breakfast then overeat later. Unlikely to be applicable to the type of disciplined individual on these forums.

Well breakfast by its very nature is 'breaking a fast', that's why its called 'break fast'. So if you don't eat breakfast then you're delaying the break of the fast. It may not be 24 hours but its still a fast, albeit a bit short.
There are some caveats of the study to be found here: http://www.nbcnews.c...mple-6C10710530
Also, *published in the American heart association journal.
This study is a bit odd. It says:
"The men who reported not eating breakfast were younger than those who did, and were more likely to be smokers, employed full time, unmarried, less physically active and drank more alcohol."
So is it really to do with the skipping breakfast or the fact they smoke and drink a lot and don't exercise??

Intermittent fasting is at least 12 hours of fasting
But intermittent fasting is supposed to be different from a normal eating pattern. I've recently became interested in fasting but prior to that I never considered myself to be fasting but my usual eating pattern was to eat my last meal of the day ie dinner at between 5-7pm and then I would eat breakfast the following day between 8-10am. That's already between 13-17 hours. Surely you have to at least take it to lunch time to consider it anything other than a normal fast that anyone undertakes while they sleep.
Even if you eat a bit later 7-8pm and then in the morning you eat earlier at 7-8am its still a 12 hour fast. I think if you're doing a 12 hour fast every day its hardly worth mentioning it to anyone since so many other people must be already doing at least that in their normal diet routine.

Considering I'm not really into the whole CR lifestyle (I lift weights, CR and building muscle do not go hand in hand alas), I try to mimic it to a certain extent by doing IF for 18-20 hours, hoping it'll lead to some benefit. Been doing this for 2 years now, loving it.

Many people find it has little effect and most of the posts in this thread are along those lines.
However some diabetics, usually children, can't cope with a fast even as short as 12 hours and have to take slow release calories when they go to bed. People with metabolic disorder too may find an overnight fast without breakfast to be so long that it causes their symptoms.
The name breakfast itself tells you it breaks a fast.
