Diet sodas are high as in sodium, and the artificial sweeteners suppress immune function thymus (sucralose) and kill your good bacteria in your gut, aspartame as Dr Russel Blaylock has proven is an excito toxin meaning it kills your brain

Great point on the cheat day, I consume about 1700calories a day, when U cheat day U can max 4000 calories which is about 24 hours of straight exercise to burn off so small cheat meal each week MAX

@seinfeld11123: diet sodas are not high in sodium, unless you consider ~ 35 mg (of the ~ 2,000mg we need) high. With that being said, it is certainly ideal to avoid diet sodas.

Number two is an absolute myth. Rigidly controlled metabolic ward studies have debunked this. The idea came from TEF concept, but given isocaloric conditions, the TEF does not differ between 3 meals and 6 meals.

The "metabolic fire" nonsense needs to go.

[DrClayFitness]

@CivitasUltraAporia: "absolute myth" is a bit of a stretch. I see meal frequency having a positive effect on body composition regularly. Whether this is due to an increase in metabolism or an optimization of nutrient timing is debatable. Although I have seen multiple studies demonstrating an increase metabolic rate with increased meal frequency, but admittedly this seems to be more when going from 1 or 2 meals to 4 or so.

not sure eating so often allows your body to burn belly fat.. we should eat 3 meals a day without snacking; fatty meat fish eggs cheese salads vegetables little no grains/fruits.. Cave man would not have eaten every 2hrs..

[DrClayFitness]

@mokugin81: just because cave men didn't eat every 2 hrs (and I didn't say to eat every 2 hrs, btw), doesn't mean it's not going to improve body composition.

hey bro isnt diet soda even worse than regular soda

[DrClayFitness]

not good for you - sure. but kill you - that's a bit of a stretch.

@curlye93: although artificial sweeteners may cause some insulin secretion, they don't necessarily make one obese. There are FAR more factors!

[DrClayFitness]

@Meni69: I disagree (for the most part). I see time and time again that when people go from one or two meals per day to 4, 5, or 6 - they drop fat. Sure, going from 6 to 8 meals offers no benefit, but there is clearly a difference when going from one meal to five.

@rast123456789:  I'm not, but thanks for your concern ;)

[DrClayFitness]

@vinceperez158: you could, but that's certainly not the best option!

[vinceperez158]

hey can i just eat small meals of rice and beans every 3 hours and drink alot of water???

[rast123456789]

why are you obsessed with keeping fat away?

[Meni69]

I love Doctor Clay, (me, t-nation) but lets update

Myth: Eat frequently to "stoke the metabolic fire".

article on leansgains , limited on what i can post

Meal frequency does not affect total TEF. You cannot "trick" the body in to burning more or less calories by manipulating meal frequency
