For most patients, small frequent feedings don’t work. It’s always easier to eat nothing at all, than to eat a little. As soon as you start to eat, insulin is released, and insulin makes you more hungry. The less you eat, the faster you are going to lose weight. So when in doubt, don’t eat. The idea of eating before you get hungry is nonsense, because eating is going to make you hungry. I can’t say it enough. If you’re not hungry, don’t eat.
