From my understanding, and this NOT my field of expertise, I think the argument misses the vital point of metabolic rate- If you starve yourself, ie- miss meals, have the usual cr@p, but in micro servings, dont eat the right things at all, then yes, your metabolism will slow down. Eating meals, the same calories over an equal period of time equals the same result is fair, I'd agree. Ok, so a few months back, I was at my Endocrinologist, as my Thyroid levels were out, as my med dosage was too low. I was training regularly, and i admit, not following the cleanest of diets, but trying, yet i was still packing on the kg's. Long story short, your thyroid controls your metabolism, I dont have one (thanks Cancer), so i need artificial drugs to produce the hormone that controls the metabolism (again simplified, but thats how i understand it). the Doctor and I discussed this, and upped my dosage in line with what the Bloods showed. I have found it a lot easier to loose weight, by eating cleaner, and yes, smaller portions These drugs (tertroxin)boost the metabolism, and when you eat less, and your metabolism wants to slow, these drugs over ride that tendency, and keep it boosting. If ya want to look, go and look at some of the fat burners, and how they can eff up your thyroid, as the contain a part (micro amount of the drug), then your working thyroid becomes dependent the artificial hormone to activate the metabolism, once off the fat burners your thyroid is stuffed. When my dosage is too high, you proper get the jitters, and become edgy, as you would on some fat burners, not nice at all. So thats what i know, use, loose it. Cheers
