Healthy eating requires insulin to drop. Eating all your calories within a short time allows this drop to occur. The same calories spread over a day and into the night keep your insulin levels up and this is not what our bodies like, long term. I was a skeptic of Dr Ekberg and the other holisitic doc's, but I needed to try something, and boy oh boy are they on to something. It's only a matter of time before constant snacking is viewed as dangerous to your long-term health as smoking.
