I've been doing for years and it took about a month

- Wake up 6 - 6:15am - Espresso shot around 8am - Regular sized but healthy meal at 11:30am with a small pastry walk 12:30pm - Regular sized but healthy meal at 5:30pm - Little dessert 7pm - Sleep at ~11 - 11:30pm

Highly recommend, as OP have had essentially nothing but positives including preliminary weight loss, easy weight management, higher energy, etc

I was really reluctant to skip breakfast. I was one of those people who if I missed my breakfast I'd be starving by lunch. What I started off doing was eating a mid morning snack, say sliced apples and 2 Tbsp of peanut butter. That held me over until lunch. After a while the peanut butter was dropped and it was just an apple, then later the apple was dropped altogether. Now I get to lunch and it's like, huh, I'm not all that hungry. So the amount I eat for lunch has been diminishing.

All along this journey a thing that's been going on is while I'm eating less and less, I have to be careful to eat better and better food. I simply don't eat enough to waste much eating "crap." By eating less and less "crap" and needing to focus on nutrient-dense food I've basically stumbled into what is called the MIND diet.

I've alternated on and off eating breakfast a few times in my life almost entirely by accident. Once I go a few days without breakfast, assuming I am eating enough around dinner time, I stop getting my morning hunger. I'm back to eating breakfast, but I'm confident I could switch off again if I made the conscience decision to eat a bit more for dinner and take my lunch a bit earlier (I normally eat lunch around 2pm and dinner around 6-7pm).

Not the parent commenter, but as someone who skips breakfast, it's actually not that difficult, particularly if you drink coffee (which IIRC has recognized appetite-suppressing properties). Just drink it black, and be sure to drink water as well. (Tea might be an option too, but especially in black teas, the tannins in it may make your stomach queasy absent some milk or carbohydrates -- which would defeat the purpose of skipping breakfast.)
