Nope, skipping meals is never a good idea. Even if you think it will help you lose weight, it actually does the opposite because it switches your metabolism into "starvation mode": your body starts to build and conserve fat reserves as a way to insure your survival during periods of starvation. Your metabolism slows, also to conserve calories and energy, and it can be very difficult to stimulate your metabolism back up into the healthy, fat-burning non-starvation mode. I don't mean to sound critical...but as a person who has gone through periods of starvation, both as a neglected child, and in self-imposed anorexic food rejection...skipping a few meals is an unhealthy, and potentially damaging approach to weight loss.
