I firmly believe that there are two types of people, grazers and predators. For the grazer a series of small meals may work. For me, and other predators, all a small meal does is prime the appetite for a larger meal.
I've found that if I eat one large meal a day at suppertime And exercise and drink water I drop about 2 lbs a week. If I eat small meals starting early in the day (the dreaded breakfast) I gain more than 2 lbs per week as each day is constant hand to mouth.
The second problem I have with most diets (ever notice that every diet begins with 'die'?) is that if you eat the food they prescribe you could live for ever, but why would you want to live forever eating the garbage they want you to choke down.
Man was made to eat meat. That's why we have fangs.
The key is to not over eat on a daily or routine basis
Fangs! You, sir, are KILLING me!!!
I eat meat; lots of it. In fact, it's mainly what I eat.
