Black coffee may reduce appetite. It is also really healthy in many ways and something I actually recommend for your health. Some people are worried about the cholesterol but looking at the mass of studies there is really nothing to be worried about. So without going into further detail black coffee is good for you. Just make sure to not drink coffee at least 4 hours prior to sleep.
You also mention skipping lunch. I would advice against that. When you eat breakfast you break the fast that you've been in all night. Once you break the fast, and especially if you break it with a high carbohydrate meal, you will not react well if you go without food for too long. This is normal for people who depend on carbohydrates as their main fuel source. Instead if you do want to skip meals I'd advice you to skip breakfast. This is often referred to as intermittent fasting and has shown to have many health benefits and is also very effective at reducing your total daily calories.
Since I dont know what diet you follow I cant really make more recommendations than that but based on those two things you mentioned I hope you will take this into account
Thanks for that, gives me a lot to think on. I appreciate it. I am now off to get lunch via your directions
