Not all weight loss “expert” advice is good

One glaringly tricky example in the current diet lore is “eating many small meals throughout the day.” One reason this advice works is that the (sub-par) quality of the food one ingests necessitates this frequency of eating.

If one was eating very nutritionally dense food, two to three times eating per day will typically be enough. Blood sugar variation (which the “6-meal a day approach” is trying to fix) is caused by a nutritionally poor, highly processed diet that is low in phytonutrients. If one was eating right in the first place, you wouldn’t have to eat six to eight small meals a day! All this does is increase metabolic rate (and therefore increase free radical formation), which in and of itself is not a health sustaining phenomenon. It just makes you age faster.
