Not sure what you mean by this. If you are saying that eating many times a day works for you, I never claimed that it can't work. I am disputing the idea that it works because it "raises metabolism", or that it necessarily works better than eating the same amounts divided among fewer meals. If one can better manage their total consumption & hunger eating much smaller amounts more frequently, great, do what works. But it's not necessary, and it doesn't raise metabolism. Some of us prefer more substantial meals, less often. So if you don't like eating six times per day, you don't have to in order to lose weight. You just have to find a way to eat less than you did before, that you can sustain long term.
