I've been skipping breakfast for about 2 years now, and I don't get hungry until noon most of the time. The only exception is if I drink alcohol the night before. If the girlfriend and I drink beers on Saturday night, I'm usually starving the next morning.

I suppose people are different, but intermittent fasting has worked great for me. I should mention that I do a mostly low carb diet. I know fasting puts people in a ketogenic state. So, maybe those two go hand in hand?

Same here, I always wondered why it was the case that I felt hungry in the morning after drink a few beers the previous night, as in general I don’t feel any hunger till noon.

Cut out carbs and you’ll get to noon without feeling hungry at all.

So this counts as fasting too? I do this for years (ignore breakfast), and since I am more health counsious nowadays I avoid snacking after dinner. After doing this for some time I don't feel hungry most days.

Maybe this is why I am losing weight nowadays (the fact that I am going to the work by foot probably helps too), who knows.

Breakfast means break - fast. You fast while you’re sleeping. Not eating until noon lengthens your fast.

I find that my hunger level during fasting depends greatly on my level of hydration. And learning to like black coffee and plain tea helps a lot since they can feel more “substantial” than plain water.

Coffee and herbal teas may not be as beneficial during fasting, because as you said, they may be more "substantial".

I was watching a compilation clip about intermittent fasting [0] recently. According to Dr. Rhonda Patrick, coffee and other drinks than just plain water (and maybe vitamins and supplements as well?) break the fast by starting up some metabolic enzymes [1][2].

I guess there goes my round the clock tea gulping. :|
