Slow and steady wins the race lol but nope, as long as you eat 5-6 small meals a day it don't matter. I mean obviously you wont eat huge meal 10 mins before bed...... I eat every 2-3 hours and 6 small meals a day and i"m doing great and don't feel hungry.

What does it matter if you eat 1-3 meals versus 5-6? And what is wrong with eating right before bed?

the reason for this method of madness lol is eating smaller portions more frequently speeds up your metabolism which in turn assists in weight loss. Also by eating more frequently your less likely to binge......

But it doesn't speed up your metabolism...:huh:

Have you tried it?

Carbs after 4pm? lol what happens at/after 4pm?

Whatever it is, I hope it involves me and you. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I don't have an appetite for at least an hour or so after waking up. I enjoy my food, forcing myself to eat when I don't feel hungry would seem like a waste of calories.

I believe that there is some misconception that people are promoting a diet of garbage food, that is a big exageration.

In my opinion eating in the morning has helped my weight loss and has also got rid of my chronic heatburn which I have had for over 10 years!!

Breakfast is called it for a reason Break fast you have been fast whilst asleep and you are breaking that fast.

Yes if you keep under your cals etc you will lose weight but there is a healthy way and an unhealthy way to do it.

I do get annoyed with alot of **** people post on here about you can eat crap as long as you keep under your cals etc I tend to listen to my doctor and PT who are qualified. Eat breakfast, lower carbs in the evening, try not to eat white carbs (it does spike your insulin levels) and drink lots of water.

The only time I have issues is when I don't follow these simple rules.

ummm so what?

It is impossible to have high levels of insulin in your system while burning fat at the same time. If you eat a meal that has too high of a Glycemic Index, your blood sugar will spike, causing a large release in insulin. During this period of time your body cannot use fat for fuel (even if you are operating under a calorie deficit and even if you workout like crazy). You can get everything else right and not make good progress if you allow your insulin levels to get out of whack.

FTA:
"Out to help repair insulin’s reputation is obesity researcher Stephan Guyenet, Ph.D., of the University of Washington, who studies regulation of body fat by the brain. He downplays insulin as a primary regulator of long-term fat storage calling it a misrepresentation and oversimplification of what the hormone’s role really is. “There has been a lot of confusion about the role of insulin in the regulation of fat tissue,” Guyenet comments.

“Insulin is a critical coordinator of dynamic fatty acid flux on a meal-to-meal basis,” Guyenet clarifies. Through coordination, insulin is the main hormone that, essentially, tells the body what to do with the food energy just eaten. For example, when carbohydrate or protein is eaten, insulin directs the body to burn the carbohydrate or protein instead of using fat. And when mostly fat is eaten, the lack of an insulin response directs the body to burn the fat just eaten.

“Either way, you burn what you eat, and when that runs out, you go back to burning stored fat,” according to Guyenet. “This process is easily misinterpreted because one of insulin’s main functions following a meal is to shut down fat release from fat cells while the body burns carbohydrate and protein.

From Guyenet’s explanation, it sounds more as if insulin’s role is really that of a traffic cop— signaling where nutrients should go (carbs, protein, and fat) just after meals.Overall, however, insulin does not promote fat accumulation in the long run. Keep in mind that insulin also promotes the transport of glucose and amino acid into muscle for synthesis of glycogen and proteins after meals.

“At the end of the day, the total 24-hour ‘flux’ of fat in and out of fat cells does not appear to depend on these insulin spikes,” Guyenet comments.
