I do think that works for some people but not all. For some it would be a
license to overeat because they can not stop themselves and limit to small
portions. I couldn't do it myself because of the slowed digestion. Most
days I eat two meals and a snack. If I have to eat my breakfast much
earlier than usual like I will tomorrow, I will try to eat a small snack in
between that and dinner. But that doesn't always work for me and often I am
just not at all hungry come dinner time.
