This does actually work. Continuous starvation actually conditions the body to store additional fat. A good breakfast also helps to provide fuel to your brain, which burns a lot of glucose. Eating regularly conditions your body to burn what takes in, because it doesn't have to save for later, so instead of storing calories in fat, it builds other things like muscle. One of my friends went on a plan to lose one pound per week or thereabouts while he was training for a long, difficult bike tour in the French Alps, and calculated that he would have to consume around 4100 calories per day.
