    The most effective method to weight loss is to keep it simple.

    Find the meal timing that keeps you most satiated and go with that.

    Over complicating a procedurally simple thing will likely decrease your chances for success.

    Typical day: one coffee in morning, a light lunch between 2 and 5pm. Then, dinner around 8. Done.

    I try to keep it super simple. I eat when I am hungry and do not eat when i am not. Since I worked 1845 - 0715 for many many years I have different eating times than most. I am not usually that hungry in the mornings but am very hungry about 1 AM. I just let my body tell me when I need food.

    I'd be dead if I eat like that. I get hungry every 2 to 3 hours I don't worry about food my body tells me when it wants food. I floss and brush every night and brush in the morning. Don't you have anything else to do other than worrying about brushing your teeth all days?

    You underestimate your body's survivalbility. I would brush all day if I snacked on cheetos, beef jerky, ice cream (notorious for cavity) etc. throughout the day, but i don't. :)

    Like everyone else is saying, do what works for you.
    I find if I eat 500-700 calories through the day then 1300-1000 at night I hardly feel hungry.

    Nah I just don't like feeling hungry all the time if I go 5 hours with no food then that's all I'm gonna be worrying/thinking is food then that 2k Cal limit I have is out the window

    Proves the point that everyone is different and that there's no one best way of doing things.
