Grazin' Study Shows: Increased Eating Frequency Bad For Obese and Lean Men. Reduced Diet-Induced Thermogenesis and Blunted Lipolysis Could Promote Future Weight Gain
Grazing not allowed! Usually, I don't do this in the introduction of an article, but in this case, it fits so nicely that I just can't resist to prepend todays SuppVersity article with a citation from the conclusion of a recent paper in Pyschology and Behavior, a journal of which I believe that it covers the true reasons of the obesity pandemic... but I am digressing, here's your quote (Allroit. 2014): "Even if subjective and physiological data suggest a beneficial effect of frequent eating on appetite in obese men, no effect was demonstrated on energy intake. Moreover, the decrease in diet induced thermogenesis and lipolysis, reflected by NEFA profiles, could be deleterious on energy balance in the long run." What? Grazing ain't good for me? But my doctor (Oz?) said so! If you are still in the "I believe every word my doctor" says phase of your development as a free-thinking individual, it's probably a waste of time to read the rest...
