Fundamentally, losing weight is extremely simple: eat less than you spend. No diet can side-step this fundamental fact. If you eat a lot less than you spend, you’ll probably lose weight in an unhealthy way (your body will eat through your muscle tissue and even your organs if you push it hard enough – even if you still have fat left). If you eat a little less than you spend, you will lose weight in a slow and relatively predictable fashion.
That’s what the entire dieting thing is about, weird particular food diets aside. The rest of his article is about psyching yourself to stay on the path of eating less, together with an interesting tip about how it takes much fewer calories to fill you at breakfast than at dinner. There’s probably a bit of psychology on top of the biology that can explain that, which might be fodder for other biology- and mind-manipulating tactics..
I actually tend to eat quite lightly during the morning (6.30am) and the day thanks to having lunch anytime from 9am to 4pm, but once I get home I snack a lot on biscuits and stuff if it’s not late enough for dinner.
No, I’m not dieting, I just have very messed up eating patterns.
