Default Re: "Don't eat if you aren't hungry" vs. nutrition

Thanks for your replies. It can get very confusing when you listen to all the different "versions" of this diet out there.

I'm reading DANDR over and over to try and be very clear of doing it "by the book".

I did a diet called "Weigh Down" which strongly advocated to NOT eat if you were not hungry and basically "most" people ended up eating ONE meal a day. Then there was the diet scam of recent that had people eating less than 500 calories a day. Then there were the "voices" about eating something every 3 to 4 hours. I think I even ran across a "fasting" diet where you ONLY ate for 5 hours during the day. hahahaha And round and round it goes!! I often refer to all of these as "diet schizophrenia".

SO BOTTOM LINE ... DON'T EAT IF YOU AREN'T HUNGRY BUT MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GO MORE THAN 6 HOURS WITHOUT SOME FUEL (PROTEIN/FAT).

Thanks again.
