I thought I would give my two cents here. Like the reader who posed the question about breakfast increasing hunger, I can attest I have the same issue. No matter what I eat in the morning, wheter it is a piece of toast or 10 eggs with no starches it will do nothing but make me hungrier the rest of the day, even a few hours after  that meal. However if I only drink coffee with a bit of cream, my appetite is greatly reduced thru the day to a normal one. And being hungry all day is not fun. By avoiding breakfast eating, I lost a lot of weight via its reduction of my hunger. It still of courses comes down to eating below your BMR. There is no getting around that fact. In my experience, eating breakfast makes it very difficult to win this battle of reducing calories, one because it adds calories right off the bat and more importantly with some people it stokes their hunger. If you are hungry all day, diet adherence is very tough. I highly recommend trying to skip it, it takes about 3 weeks to get used to, but I don't miss it and the steady weight loss I now have to show for it is worth it. I'd rather enjoy my calories at dinner anyway when I'm not at work. Just my two cents.
