I get asked all the time about whether certain eating patterns will result in weight loss. Skip breakfast? Eat breakfast? Eat every three hours? What about alcohol will it really stop me from losing weight? These are all theories that are reported in the popular press and it seems that most people take them to be true.
The truth is that there is not good sound research to support any of those theories. Fortunately, a team at Bowling Green State University in Ohio recently published a study to find out if skipping meals or drinking alcohol had any effect on weight loss (Appetite 51 (2008) 538-545).
