    If I ate every 2-3 hours I'd probably still be almost 400 pounds, as well as blood sugar through the roof. I lost 100 pounds on a low carb diet, just eating standard 3 meals a day, with an occasional snack. But then I stalled (with still quite a bit more to lose!). I mean a *five year* stall.

    But I figured at 100 pounds down I was still ahead of the game. But then, with no change in diet, the scale began inching up again to the tune of 25 pounds this past year.

    So this time around I'm still in the lower carb camp, but combined with intermittent fasting, only eating in a 2-5 hour window daily. Down 14 pounds this month! Also incorporating JUDDD with 500 calories or less on alternate days.

    No, it's not necessary. How could it be when people who have literally nothing to eat end up looking so skinny?

    Ya but then they say u store fats...
    Some people eat once a day and lose weight.
    As long as you eat less food than you used to eat, you will lose weight.

    Your body stores fat when you eat over your calorie limit.
    It does not care when you eat because is working for you twenty-four/seven.

    Ya but i do only dairy rich teas and coffess whole day and eat only at night...then too i m noy loosing any weiggt..i alsso do weight trainjng
    What are you putting in those 'dairy rich' beverages? Plain milk? Condensed milk? Any other kind of sugar? Those calories can really add up and could destroy your deficit if you're eating a lot in the evening as well.

    yes full fat milk and sugar
    Ok, so say you're adding roughly 1/4 cup milk and 3tsp sugar to each of your cups of tea - that's around 90 calories, which doesn't sound that much, but if you're drinking a lot of them throughout the day...
    Do you measure and log all those drinks? Fit them into your calorie allowance?

    Per the article I read in the August FitnessRX Hers, it is not necessary. How often you eat does not (according to the researchers) affect your metabolizem one way or the other. What it boils down to is personal preferance--if you're comfortable eating four to six meals a day fine or if you're comfortable eating three meals a day fine. Just make sure you are eating enough. I usually eat three meals a day with a small snack in between lunch & dinner. B)

    How can you store fats if you aren't eating any food?

    The whole thing is ridiculous.
