BS or not?

So, then, no food for 12 hours at night, no heavy meals, and 5 hours

meals/day.
Let me get this straight, you eat three meals a day, five hours apart,
and
then take off 12 hours. So we're talking 27 hour days. Or... three meals
every 2.5 days on Jupiter, or one meal a day and a half if you rotate
around
Uranus.

6AM: Wake Up
7AM: Eat Breakfast
+5 hours
12:30: Eat Lunch
+5 hours
6PM: Eat Dinner
+4 hours
10 PM: Bed
Sleep 8 hours
Wash rinse repeat

This adds, even without instantaneous meals. Your calculator isn't
working, Mike.


TGIF!

Hmmm... Lyle is a big fan of leptin, but based on his writings, I'd
guess he'd say most of what you referenced is BS. I think the only
"key" to a leptin-aware plan is the refeed schedule, which
periodically kicks your leptin production up.

For 99% of the people, losing weight happens by: (1) maintaining a
proper caloric deficit over time, either through diet, exercise, or a
combination of the two, and (2) getting the right mix of protein,
EFAs, and other macronutrients.

No amount of juggling is going to make a significant difference
without changes to the above items.

I think pretty much what you do. The "leptin diet" to me means -- go
lowcarb for a while until your metabolism tanks and then stoke it up
again with cinnamon rolls.

But this nonsense is what's out there on the search term " leptin
diet" -- Lyle's old research seems to be lost at sea somewhere. Is it
that most people are never going to get a concept as complex as the
refeed, but they'll drop twenty bucks on a book that tells them to eat
three meals a day?

how confused are we really?

I think the goal is to make eating so complicated that most simple
people will eventually give up and stop eating because it is so confusing.

Or, like SPAM, the goal is to make some fame and money at the expense of
others.
