Why Diets Should be History (article)
Something I found in the international edition of USA Today this morning:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion...2-forum1_x.htm It's not rocket science, but I found this bit interesting (no source for study provided): "But in truth, people who skip breakfast are 450% more likely to be overweight or obese. They are training their bodies to store fat, the way you are if you skip meals regularly." S t a c i |

Not eating breakfast doesn't cause fat-storage any more than the oft-touted advice to not eat anything in the evening does. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

It's somebody's voodoo self-justification for eating too much too often. Nobody ever got fat by not eating. The quote had no scientific data to back it up, and it is stated the article was written as an "opinion." The guy who wrote the article is a moron and is perpetuating an old myth -- because it's what he's always been told. His advocating eating constantly all day long is the same anti-thinking as the ADA that has contributed to thousands of diabetics getting fatter and fatter and their blood sugar levels getting more and more out of control. The key to weight loss as we all know, is eating less and eating less starches and sugars. The resulting ketosis provides us witn a steady source of fuel 24/7 and makes specific meals irrelevant. Many of never eat breakfast. I never have, and think it makes no sense at all to add another meal and more calories to my day in order to lose weight. -- Peter 270/215/180 Before/Current Pix: http://users.thelink.net/marengo/wei...htlosspix.html |

You opinion doesn't have much support among qualified professionals Staci. The way most often suggested for ideal meal planning is to eat up to six small meals per day. That's suggested mainly because most people dieting on low-fat high-carb need to eat that frequently to limit carb rebound hunger from the blood sugar going up and down. It's not necessary on LC. Skipping breakfast isn't "not eating" it is messing with the metabolism. If you put your body into a "famine or feast" routine, it will respond by trying to take advantage of the feast and store energy (as fat) for the next famine. As the time period between feast and famine is too small to allow the use of the stored fat, the fat builds up. Like it or not, believe it or not, that is the way it works. Not eating a few more hours a day doesn't trigger a famine response in anybody's metabolism. There's a huge difference between fasting and having 2 meals daily instead of 3. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

Except that neither of these jive with what I'm experiencing. I still like to eat about 6 meals a day and eat low carb. I find it very hard not to eat at least 4 meals a day, especially when exercising (and where a "meal" can be a raw cucumber). -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |
