Intermittent Fasting + Ketogenic Diet is awesome, fully recommend it. It is like having an internal source of energy that just goes on and on forever!
Cereal and toast means a blood sugar crash a few hours later, no thanks!

Well, you could try eating like an adult and see how it works for you.
I have a protein shake every morning. Milk, banana, peanut butter and chocolate protein powder. Works great: it's filling, delicious, healthy and it doesn't cause a sugar crash.
IF provides unique benefits, not saying it is the only way, but it is a comfortable way.
My lack of energy in the morning is more due to my internal clock being shifted about 8 hours forward. My natural hours would be to take at ~1pm and be up until ~4am.
Separate issue. :)
I think the Wikipedia page on night-owls explains in greater detail the exacts of what is essentially a genetic predisposition, the sources hold up too.
Anecdotally, I've tried many diets, I thought I had insomnia at one point and the doctors did not disagree, taking pills does not make it easier- you feel more disconnected and my usual grumpy demenour is more apathetic.
As with most things YMMV
1. it makes it hard to function in society; and
2. it can be treated or mediated somehow, so there's a point to having a name for it.
Basically, a "disorder" is a node connecting "symptoms" to "treatments."
He didn't say "Lucky Charms" and "toast loaded with grape jelly".
I eat a low carb meals also, and I totally get not wanting a sugar crash due to eating a carb-loaded breakfast. But sheesh "Well, you could try eating like an adult" just sounds terribly condescending to me.
Plenty of adults eat cereal and toast for breakfast and are just fine doing so.
fasting for a longer time can be dangerous...
your body in the morning needs energie its like a engine...
I don't eat after 7:30 PM I can't sleep with a full belly
