What I gather is that eating less = living longer, and living better. Skipping lunch "feels hard" only at first, supposedly. Friends have been doing the no lunch thing for other reasons and report that after several weeks you just don't feel the need to lunch at all. For me that sounds like a little bit of hardship now, for a big gain afterwards. I get the time to think about / prepare lunch back, and can now enjoy my dinners way more, as I don't need to really think and restrain myself on how much I eat then. Obviously I wouldn't trade feeling bad for the rest of my life for a longer life, but it seems that's not what's happening, hopefully. It's more like "invest a bit of pain now, gain a lot of pleasure later" kinda dynamic. But I'm in the middle of this thing though so we'll see :)
