Researchers at Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center spent a
full year following a group of 123 women who were trying to lose weight.
One of their happiest discoveries: Going hungry does nothing for you.
People who reported skipping meals lost nearly eight pounds less than
women who ate regularly. "It may be that they became too hungry by their
next meal and overdid it," says lead study author Anne McTiernan, M.D.
Another theory: Habitual meal-skippers might also be the same sort of
people who spend less time planning and preparing meals.
