I have a simple system that works for ME. Basically I eat once a day. I have a full lunch and that's it for the day. I do not fell hungry,specially in the morning where for some reason I just can't eat.

I did the inverse - just stopped having lunch - and that works for me. I also don't feel hungry.

For me, lunch was usually some low quality food grabbed in a hurry, and so it was the easiest meal to cut out. But the main reason to cut lunch was that I always got sleepy mid afternoon, and falling asleep in meetings isn't really acceptable. Not having lunch makes my afternoons much more effective, which is great as I'm not really a morning person.

This is casually referred to as the snake diet.

Theravada monks also follow this approach, but not for weight-loss reasons, obviously
