Hey Wrangell and Steve-
Good posts...and I do appreciate your comments on the frequent meal issue. I was attempting to get a simple point across, that frequent meals can aid in
weight loss.
I know what the studies say and I know about digestive metabolism, but I guess I'm talking about a NET effect on metabolism. If you want to be picky, I suppose small frequent meals do not officially "boost" metabolism. However, if you look at the effect on insulin (the classic "anti-metabolite"), eating small frequent meals (effectively decreasing insulin spikes) can help you to prevent a slowing of your metabolism.
I do agree that even a small net increase in one's metabolism is worth employing.
And, I also agree that weight lifting is the real secret weapon.
