Try intermittent fasting. It's very easy to start and after a couple weeks you won't even get hungry in the morning. Water/coffee/vitamins can keep you going with full energy for physical work, tradesman here, until around 2-3pm. Every dinner becomes AWESOME.
No - I've been doing OMAD (One Meal a Day) since November and I feel better than ever, better mental clarity, more energy - I also low carb with my OMAD.
If you jump right into a day long fast it'll prob be pretty rough but you'll live. Best to work into it slowly.
For much of human existence and for animals in the wild our bodies adapted with the knowledge that meals were never guaranteed. This is why we store excess energy as fat to begin with, because if your body gets extra energy it knows it might need it later to survive.
Only in our modern world do we have this problem where we have the ability to constantly and I mean constantly "graze". Snacks, fast foods, frozen dinners. Even poor people are fat.
Fasting is great cuz it reminds you don't NEED to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner to survive. A really overweight person could probably go for a month or more without ever eating a bite and be perfectly healthy/ healthier obviously at the end of the fast.
What if you feel like shit the day after not eating though?

I've been eating once a day for many years, but I also snack afterwards. It's probably also my environment.
