Fabulous research, Lauren Jane. i met someone once who did the Breatharian Det. When he eventually came back down to earth, he discovered that he put on a lot of weight even eating a lettuce leaf. I still think dieting (the sort where you restrict intake) makes you fat. It makes perfect sense to me that if you go hungry, your body thinks it as at risk of famine, so the very next time it gets any calories it will convert as many to FAT for future famines. I think there as many perfect eating regimes as their are people. We are all so different. Little and often works for me. One huge meal once a day works better for my husband. Ain't life grand?
