No, that title is not a typo.

One of the things that makes people not get the weight loss results that they want is that they may occassionally be starving their bodies.

There are two basic ways that this can happen. One is for it to be done inadvertently—like when you just get busy and forget to eat.

Another is when you purpose deprive your body of food to try and “speed up” your results.

Regardless of how it happens, either scenario in this case is equally damaging. Although you will decrease the calories that you take in which may lead to some short-term weight loss, the kicker here is that you will be slowing down your metabolism.

What this means is that after the starving is over, your body will hold onto the next meal you eat for dear life, expecting be be starved again.

If you allow starvation to become a habit, you will actually be contributing to your own weight gain in the future.

Therefore, make sure that you are keeping your meals no more than 4 hours apart. As long as you do this, you will be supporting the healthy metabolism that you’ll need to lose the kind of weight that you’ve committed to.

Complete nonsense. Starvation mode doesn't set in after 4 hours. Not even after 4 days. There is no need at all to every 4 hours, unless that is what works for you to keep you satisfied. Overall calories are what counts.
 
Since most of us sleep for over 4 hours - the OP would clearly imagine virtually the whole planet going into starvation mode in the middle of the night every night...
 
It was equal nonsense when it was posted on other forums including our sister "training" forum which was posted on 9th July - when it needed a link removed by the mod there...

I am currently trying to work out whether it is one person posting in both these places - or a number of people posting (often badly written) articles which I can see offered on the internet to people who want to make postings but have nothing to say...

Maybe lopm would care to comment on their motivations and whether they posted on our sister site under the username ybousnasre
