Your initial post was a simple denigration of my assessment that snacking on healthy alternatives and eating smaller meals throughout the day was a better way to go. You provided no scientific evidence to the contrary, and you provided no alternatives to my assessment.

Then you proceeded to attack me as someone who is unhappy and wants to make others unhappy through smart eating. For what it’s worth, I’m happier now than I ever have been. Junk food is a crutch. It’s a temporary “feel good.” It spikes your insulin, you feel a little better, then you crash wanting more. Science backs this up. This isn’t personal opinion.

Eating 3 larger meals? The body goes into a “panic” mode when you pack it in. It assumes that meal will be the last one for a while, and as a result, it stores fat instead of utilizing for energy. This is ingrained in the DNA of every human being on this planet. It’s not pseudo-science, it’s proven. Several articles I just posted discuss this in detail, if you’re interested.

Your initial post was a cherry-picked lambasting of my personal experience and success with this type of eating habit. It’s worked for me, it’s worked for people in overeater’s anonymous, it’s worked for people in Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers. You don’t have to spend money every month on special food. You don’t have to have someone tell you what to eat every day. Once you can make smart choices about your food, you can conquer any craving and avoid junk food permanently. You are simply trying to justify bad eating as normal, and, sir, makes you part of the problem.

In my personal opinion, you, sir, are a bully.

My first post to you was addressing a lie.

No matter how many words you write until you actually address it it nothing has changed.

To tell people to eat six meals a day and their cravings for junk food will magically disappear is as stupid as telling an alcoholic a few glasses of kool-aid will make their cravings for booze disappear.

A lie is a lie is a lie.

The rest may be accurate but when built upon the initial lie it is meaningless.
