Old ideology. This'll bring you up to speed, specifically the first 3 points:
Top Ten Fasting Myths Debunked (Major Update Nov 4th) | Intermittent fasting diet for fat loss, muscle gain and health
Also, application matters with stims. Caffeine/coffee during a fast (typically mornings) =
Yea not to shyt on you bruh but youre spitting a lot of old debunked shyt
Frequent eating = higher insulin sensitivity = more "feeling hungry" (more severe hunger pangs + less stable blood sugar) = higher likelihood of overeating. Snacks like almonds etc are damn near impossible to track calories on accurately, unless you walk around w/a digital scale
And like I said, I have heard from folks who know + have seen myself caffeine works best in the context of weight loss as a breakfast replacement. 2 cups (i.e. 16 oz) of black coffee + some sugar is perfect. Coffee for dinner or even lunch
Not trying to disrespect at all, just trying to save you wasted time w/strategies that don't work. We went through that, so you wouldn't have to do that
Coffee is a good way to jump start your metabolism in the morning, the acidic nature + the caffeine as an appetite suppressant, but like others said, you don't need to be drinking a ton of cups a day.
You'd be better off just drinking a lot more water throughout the day

How did I know the Lean Gains link would be posted here? My brother is doing IF right now and this is what I hear all day.
SATIL stated that frequent snacking would get someone fatter. I refuted that by stating that it wouldn't, and frequency doesn't matter as long as the end caloric amount is the same. The studies in your link @Spliff supports that. If there are other legit and well done studies that show eating the same calories spread out frequently is making me fatter, please educate me. I'm an eager student and don't mind doing controlled experiments on myself.
Frequently eating, menstruating, rebuilding tissue, etc- any of these processes does raise your metabolism while being conducted. So does digesting large meals. I never stated that smaller/frequent meals increased your metabolism MORE than larger ones. I actually never did a comparison at all. I also didn't state the coffee was bad and I showed how timing is important.
A productive way for me (and other bb females) to prevent overeating is meal planning ahead and not leaving it up to cravings/hunger pangs/desire to lead the way. Many jumped on the paleo bandwagon, and now all I hear about is IF - do what works for you, but before we do the typical online forum comparisons, you must acknowledge that nutrition studies for the most part are small and done for short periods, applied subjectively, and lack deep historical data. Random references to how we lived as cavemen or how your racial ancestors evolved always get thrown in and that's usually when I stop listening. I'm not even going to throw in female hormones in the mix. For every small or short term test that one person brings up, there are several that support the opposite stance.
@She Agree That I'm Looney, you are saying no one carries around a digital scale with them and it is "impossible" to track your nutrition, but many folks do meal prep ahead (look up instagrams or blogs of bb competitors) - which entails pre-measuring our food before putting them into storage containers. I cook often, so now I can eyeball what 6 ounces of oddly shaped chicken and 100 calories of almonds look like. If ya'll don't learn to measure your foods, how do you calc your macros?
I eat a filling breakfast and drink my caffeine clear and straight. I keep protein snacking at the office, and drinking my 80+ oz of h20 throughout the day and come lunch time, I still feel kinda full (which isn't a set time due to my work environment). How do you not feel full drinking all this water? I can't fathom getting in 140 grams of protein a day in just 3 meals. The only time I feel actual hunger pangs is usually after a heavy workout, but being on a mild-ketosis diet probably helps with my lack of hunger pangs. I remember that caffeine during my fatter days did nothing for my appetite.
I am a female, have hashimotos among other auto-immune disorders (so my weightloss/muslce gain is slower than healthy people) but I have still lost a significant % of fat doing meal prep and staying full throughout the day + lifting heavy. I'm still losing an average of 1-2 lbs a week consistently. My brother started IF-ing the same time as I started, and he weighed 100 more pounds than I did. I have lost more pounds than him. I'm not saying IF sucks, that he is doing it properly, or that it doesn't work. I'm sure it works, just like Paleo works, but they aren't the only way.

It's the standard response to what you posted as a rebuttal to low meal frequency. Quicker than going back and forth. I see where you're coming from though. Low frequency just doesn't work for you.
Rest of your post is preaching to the choir here.
@ Paleo
I'm not even going to......
IF isnt the only way but in the majority of people I know whove used it its the easiest + fastest way
My first cut on IF was the one where I made the most progress and retained the most lean mass
Like everything, if what youre doing isn't working, won't hurt to try something different. Maybe that eating 8-10 times a day works for you HH, but for most people it doesn't. I will bet your brother's macros and cal counts are off, more than IF not being the way for him.

I eat about 6 times a day, or continue one of my unfinished meals since I'm a slow eater. I have seen IF work wonders on men who do it correctly, not so much on women IRL. I'm not saying IF does NOT work, quite the opposite, but you came at me telling me that I'll get fatter by breaking up those same 1700 calories, and I don't see how. I never started the comparison.
, good discussion in hereYes coffee helps in losing weight as coffee promotes digestive system. Coffee is great for health so must drink 3/4 cups of coffee daily. Coffee reduce muscles pain, boost immune system and reduce the risk of skin cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
