Where in the book does he say you should only eat once a day? Where does he even day he does that?

  > CHAPTER: How many meals, and when? > I eat basically one meal a day, about 7 or 8 hours after I awake. Before that he says it doesn't matter, but he based many thing on his own experience which is given above. This is entirely wrong: > Only total calories per day count. For the most part it doesn't matter when you eat them or how you spread them around the day, so long as your schedule stays pretty much the same, day in and day out Lets say I eat every hour. That is going to be enormous stress to the liver for one. If you eat carbs you will basically simulate diabetes entire day... you may be thin depending on how much you starve, but you will still be candidate for insulin resistance. WRONG. We know better now, nutrition science progressed since the book was written.

    As far as I know all respected research on the subject shows that for weight loss caloric deficit is indeed all that counts, do you have sources that say otherwise? Of course many ways to achieve the caloric deficit will have side effects that may be detrimental in other ways, as the example you gave of liver stress, but that's a separate question from whether you lose fat mass or not. The Hacker Diet is focused on losing weight, not on achieving perfect health. I'm still skeptical on meal schedule can have such a big impact on the liver to the point of causing insulin resistance. Is there any study comparing say IF with 8 meals a day with the same overall macronutrient intake?
