I've been mostly doing this, I typically skip breakfast and lunch and eat dinner with my family. The first week or so I was really hungry between meals but it's not so bad anymore. When I get a craving a sip of water usually helps and I like to chew gum to help as well. The weight isn't falling off but I was losing about a pound a week. It's slowed down a bit to maybe a pound every two weeks but at the same time, I'm keeping a consistent weight without having to go to the gym and only walking about 3 miles (sometimes more) a day

Chewing gum triggers digestive processes which expect food. It fills your stomach with acid, enzymes, etc which then have nothing to do. I don’t think it’s a useful habit.

Yeah, it's apparently more useful to skip dinner, but I've found that for social purposes it's much easier to skip breakfast instead.
