I second this!!!! It is important not only for what the above post mentioned but also to get the vitamins, minerals, and proteins that our bodies need. I tend to replace breakfast with a protein shake because I can't eat eggs, but dinner is my fav because I can eat a larger protein (meat choice) lol. I don't see as much of an issue with you replacing one meal with a protein shake but remember to snack on healthy things like nuts, olives, avocados... so on to get the healthy fats our bodies need! Also I believe the reason you are feeling not hungry is because of those good fats so go to long with out them and you start feeling that need to eat again (at least that's what happens to me). I follow more of what the new Atkins says combined with Dr. Atkins book (with out the bars and crap from new Atkins) and you should eat with in a certain amount of time if you are following the Atkins diet. but everyone does this lifestyle with their own mods.
How often do you eat?
