    I have to admit that this thread is HILARIOUS.. Asscriminal is clearly pranking everyone with his outlandish comments, just to push their buttons and get a reaction. I love his carefully crafted mix of grammar/spelling errors and pseudo-science jargon, very well done attempt.

    Thanks for the chuckle!

    This comment is great, just random typing with no experience on the method, and Assuming things about, With no scientific evidence to contradict any of it.

    Certainly you are not serious with the comical comments you are making.. If you were serious we could, for example, evaluate your "diet". I know that there are people who eat the same diet and I will bet you that they are all 300lbs+ with blood work that would scare any MD. I know many bodybuilders, including pro's, and have never met even ONE that follows such a silly diet. I know better than to take your comments as serious, and I know that you are just trying to provoke.


    Seacrest out.

    I have to eat 5-6 meals a day or I get dizzy so it's an individual preference. I do not think name calling needs to be used....I do want want to thank you for interesting reading material while at work although I do not believe most of it :) Have a good day.

    From a woman's perspective--eating before bed--I weigh myself first thing in the a.m. and so if I ate just before I went to sleep I tend to weigh more than if I ate several hours before bed and gave my body the time to digest my dinner. Eating several meals vs a few big ones imo seems like a healthier way to go because then you are less likely to feel hungry throughout the day...and this has been my experience. I've saved up calories in order to splurge on a meal out but man I am I killing myself throughout the day up until I eat and then because I am so hungry I tend to eat more than I should. So again imo I would think that several meals a day would help curb cravings and the tendancy to overeat. Furthermore on that I tend to eat carbs before a workout and protein after because carbs burn off more quickly for the workout and then the protein afterwards helps repair the muscles I've worked and gives me a slower energy burn until my next meal. So I have no idea how they affect blood sugar and whatnot but it seems to work for most people who do it...also...on the topic of starvation...I went on an 800 calorie diet in high school and lost a ton of weight however my body suffered fatigue and muscle loss because of it and as soon as I began eating "normal" all the weight piled right back on in a matter of months. People who have a gastric bipass generally have large amounts of weight to lose and huge stores of fat and I would guess that any drastic reduction in their caloric intake would result in weight loss however it's not healthy for anyone to remain on a diet with a calorie intake below what their base metobolic rate is...it just seems like a disaster waiting to happen. And people who have gastric bipass generally are learning portion control and when they reach maintenance will be eating more than 500 calories a day. No one can live on that forever. Again this is MY opinion and I am not challenging the validity of what you've studied but its funny how some of these "myths" have created many happier and healthier people :)

    I agree, well said. In the beging of my wieght loss journey I ate 5 times a day and doing this took away my sugar cravings!

    Oh, look...another thread where we'll spout completely controversial nonsense, screw up a couple hundred people's concept of safe dieting...then backpedal for 15 pages trying to explain what we meant in our initial post where we should have just kept quiet.

    You really, really don't have the experience to be bringing these things to the table and calling them utter nonsense and myths my friend. That's something you should think really, REALLY hard about before bothering to hit the 'post' button.
