It's gotten even worse now with many fitness gurus strongly advocating 6 small meals a day.

  It's what works best for fat-loss, because that way you keep down the blood sugar spikes after every meal. I don't do it though because it's too much of a hassle - instead, you can also keep to foods which don't spike sugar levels much in general.

    > It's what works best for fat-loss, because that way you keep down the blood sugar spikes after every meal. That's a hypothesis that afaik no study was able to support (e.g. http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/truth-about-6-meals-day-weight-loss http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/truth-about-6-meals-day-w... about some studies. I don't have more references right now, but in the past I was looking for a study that supports it, and only found negatives) > instead, you can also keep to foods which don't spike sugar levels much in general. Google "bulletproof diet". I think you'll like it.

      The other issue with people like me who chronically over eat, is that asking me to eat 6 small meals a day is like asking an alcoholic to go to a bar 6 times a day but only order pepsi.
