    No you don't have to eat in the morning if you do not want too. I have always just had my coffee and that was it for me. Most of the time I just like to wait until lunch. Just recently I started eating a bowl of cereal or yogurt, but not until around 11 am. I eat when I am hungry and that is it. Do what you want, eat when you want and if its only lunch and dinner than so be it. That's fine.

    Look up Dr. Mercola and his views on intermittent fasting! this is basically what you are doing.
    if it works for you, then go for it!

    Thanks for the tip! I researched this and I find it very interesting. Thanks!

    Oh dear. Just a heads up, Dr. Mercola is widely considered a quack. While I don't disagree with intermittent fasting or anything, he has some pretty wild ideas in other areas. I suggest taking what he says with a very large grain of salt.

    Thanks for that tip! Looks like I will be doing some more of my own research. :)

    Just read that Dr. Oz promoted Dr. Mercola, and now Mercola is dead to me too. LOL Thanks.

    Breakfast is the most important meal of the day when it's eaten at dinner time and includes bacon and pancakes and eggs and syrup and butter.
    When I was growing up, my mother used to surprise us once in awhile with a full breakfast at dinner time. It was certainly a treat.
