Probably, since most of us have been conditioned to associate weightloss with starving, or at least with eating as little as possible.
Surprise! The perfect diet for weight loss and maintenance is based on 5 or 6 sensible meals. Eat Up!

This is a good article, thanks for sharing. As I indicated before, if it works for you, the more power. I'm always a little skeptical about the motives of the person writing the article (not you personally Zebraman). Is the person that wrote this article fat, skinny, lazy, athletic, a trainer, a doctor, owner of a health food product. Everyone has their motives. Where this article and any article has fault is when you stand it up to criticism. Likewise, you mix in common sense to what you just stated, you have some serious holes to answer.
#1.) Anyone who starves themselves during the day is on the right track to losing weight. Eating less is a way to lose weight. Remember, gained weight is from what, eating too much. It’s a fact! Turning off the eating/consuming machine is one idea or philosophy.
#2.) A novel concept: if a person was to starve themselves thru-out the day, why not mix in an exercise routine to go alone with the skipped meal. This might just cause the body to burn fat even faster. I wonder why this has never been mention? Because it’s such a basic natural thing to do. I call it common sense.
#3.) Eat when your body is hungry not for the sake of eating. I am against snacking or eating 5 to 6 meals a day. This continues or feeds the eating machine mentality (don’t feed the pig). We need to get off this bandwagon. In fact, this is where I got in trouble which brings me to my next point.
#4.) Economics: Fact, people who are more successful financially tend to eat better or healthier foods because the healthier foods is more expensive. When you don’t have a lot of money and you want to snack (the feeding machine 5 to 6 times a day) you eat whatever you can get your hands on. Potato Chips, Doritos, Beer, Burger King, the list goes on. This is the problem with constant snacking. You got your body, not so much what you eat, but your body in feed me mode, it’s time to stick something in my mouth. Healthy food not available, go for the sugar or whatever’s close. My motto: Turn off the eating machine, don’t feed the pig.
#5.) 2 to 3 meals a day is all that is needed. One good high protein meal a day is good. Typically around the evening hour. Instead of snacking all day, go workout at lunch. When you stop eating and force your body to miss a meal. Your body is going to go thru a withdrawal because it wants what you are use to giving it. This is the very first stage to seriously losing weight and getting control of your eating habits. For me, I got nervous, all of a sudden a found myself so depleted, which I know that wasn’t right because I ate the night before, I was literally shaking. What I’m doing is reprogramming my stomach, my body to not crave food so much. Albeit sugar or whatever.
#6.) Having healthy foods or snacks around is essential. However, if you can curtail the need to snack at all is the best. That way, when you haven’t gone to the store or budget is low, you don’t fall back into bad routine of eating just to eat, like potato chips, cheese curls, etc. Losing weight is economics. If a drunk or alcoholic don’t have the money to get a drink. Guess what, they ain’t an alcoholic no more. They stand out there solver begging to get a dime to get a drink, but they ain’t drunk. My bet is if we didn’t have the money to buy the food, we would lose weight. Of course, that’s not the issue because we all have money, but isn’t it a wonder that something so basic, so simple like not having money to purchase a hamburger could cause you to lose weight, but you prefer fancy expensive diet programs and intelligently yet deceptive written articles to tell us how to do the same thing. Amazing…..
