Well, yes, that's the definition of Jet-Lag...

Doesn't work. It's pretty much what I've done for most of my recent 
long-haul flights: I usually don't eat breakfast, so there's no decent 
meal before most of my flights.

Best thing for me, so far, has been: Force yourself quickly into the new 
rhythm, try to get some decent sleep, ease back on the alcohol 
(especially during the flight - dehydration is an issue). That doesn't 
stop the jet-lag from happening, but I managed quite well.
