Highlights:
- Eating small meals frequently will not increase your metabolism, nor will it keep you significantly full. That being said, it's okay to skip a meal.
- Blood sugar levels aren't enormously impacted by eating small meals.
- Fasting for short periods of time (up to sixty hours) does not put one into 'starvation mode.' On the contrary, one's metabolism is increased by 3.6%-10% after 36-48 hours of fasting.
- Eating protein every 2-3 hours is silly (I'm not going to elaborate, because I doubt that any of us eat every 2-3 hours).
- Fasting does not cause muscle loss. Only prolonged fasting can wrought this sort of chaos.
- Skipping breakfast is perfectly fine. It will not lower your metabolism, nor will eating it give you a substantial metabolic 'boost.'
- Short-term fasting does not effect cortisol levels.
- Eating a large breakfast; a smaller lunch; and then a very small dinner, doesn't effect weight loss nor gain.
Note: My post on starvation mode is accurate. The 'starvation mode' that the above author touches on, is one that is falsely rumored to kick in after a short period of time without food (which is, of course, utter nonsense).
