Often obese people are advised to eat more often and with smaller portions, considering the weight loss process. However, a new study shows that this approach is just a myth and that it is in no way beneficial for losing extra pounds.
Australian nutritionists have applied the method among 179 obese patients. Some of them ate 3 times a day, and for another part three additional snacks were added in order to speed up the metabolism. No weight loss was registered.
It obviously doesn't matter how often or how regularly a person eats, says Michelle Palmer, a nutritionist in New Castle. A correction in the type of food is also needed. Tim Crowe of Deacon University in Melbourne explains that one has to focus on the amount and time one consumes it.
