Hey everyone so recently I read online somewhere that If you eat 3x a day with snacks in between, then your insulin levels remain high and this prevents fat loss... is this true? So far I have lost 47lbs on CICO method but now that I'm nearing my target, and my WL is reaaaaaaly slow if not, non existent right now I was wondering whether it was this that was causing it?! Thank you!

    Meal numbers/ timing still irrelevant. My advice would be stop reading online woo! Follow the chart on your other post.

    I have no problem losing on 3 meals a day with snack between lunch & dinner. Problems come in and insulin issues when I eat refined grains and sugar. As long as you are eating balanced meals and lower glycemic index foods, your blood sugar and insulin should remain stable.
