Some advice if you find it hard to skip meals - you can drink things like coffee, tea or water. Skip the sugar of course, but it helps your stomach feel less empty to have liquids.

Many people are accustomed to having their stomach full all the time and associate the feeling of an empty stomach with something being wrong. I had a friend who couldn't go three hours without eating and said she would feel faint. It's kind of like how some people feel dirty for not showering every morning even if they aren't actually that dirty. But you can learn to stop associating these things. I have been intermittent fasting for years and don't even notice an empty stomach now.
