In short, replace carbohydrates with animal fats.
I still get hungry if I don't eat all day, and it can still have some negative impact, but it's an order of magnitude less of a problem.
It took a little while for my body to adapt to the changes. I didn't actually take notes, and it was sort of a gradual transition for me, so I'm not sure how long everything took. I'd expect a lot of the benefits to come after the first meal, but by a month or so I think most things stabilized and my tastes adjusted to fit my diet better.
If anyone wants to know more details, I'm more than happy to share, but I'm not sure exactly which parts would be interesting. Just PM me and we can chat.
Done that myself. It fixes a lot of problems: more energy, easier to stay full for longer on less food, the only "diet" I've ever tried that worked.
It's strange that something so "unnatural" seems to be good for the body along a variety of dimensions. (It's unnatural in the sense that animal products are expensive, and require a lot of biomass input, and so it's weird to make them a dietary staple whereas most of the world lives on grains.)
It's natural in the sense that it seems to be closer to the pre-agricultural diet of hunter gatherers which represents a much larger period of time in our evolutionary history than the relatively recent rise of agriculture. That's the idea underlying the Paleolithic Diet which I've had a lot of success with.
