If you skip breakfast and lunch to save calories for dinner, restricting your body's daily calorie intake that much will actually slow down your metabolism, making it harder for you to lose weight. This is different that practicing intermittent fasting (IF), which Dr. Gioffre is a huge fan of.
When you're doing IF, you still consume all your daily calories, you just do it in a shorter eating window, such as eight hours (noon until 8 p.m.). When your body is in this fasted state, it first uses up all its glucose for energy, then moves to your fat. Insulin levels are also kept low, which triggers your body to use your stored fat for fuel.
