I skip breakfast as well. I only eat one meal per day, which is the double dinner in the late evening - except for occasional "social eating". I also semi-regularly skip 2-3 days of eating to let the system repair itself (usually increases mental focus and well-being even more). It took about 3 weeks to get over the withdrawal effect of sugar and what you might call detox (I was the biggest sugar junkie in the world - and had an attention span of 15 minutes tops). That stuff was rough. When the cravings stopped it took about a month or two before the benefits really started to show. After six months / a year it was second nature. Been doing it for 6+ years now. The benefits are so great that I would never consider going back. It's important to note that you'll have to eat a fat-focused diet (paleo / keto). No sugar, low on carbs. Otherwise you won't get the benefit of not thinking about food, which is essential. After a certain amount of carbs your body will drop out of ketosis and you will get cravings - and that requires will, which drains resources. If you're successful at that your body will after a while get really good at leveraging fat as its main fuel, resulting in even keel energy. I do this for mental clarity, focus and other health benefits, so I have no experience with the weight loss part. I've been 75kg since I was 17 (30 now) and my weight has never fluctuated more than 1-2kg, regardless of how much I eat. People would say that I eat a lot though. I also rarely exercise (at least hard). Edit: typo
