There is a lot here I agree with. And a lot that is, well...
While I do it myself, I agree that skipping lunch (or breakfast) is a bad idea. But his proposal to start with two cups of lettuce? TWO CUPS?!!? OK, maybe he meant two leaves?
"Obese people consume significantly more calories at dinner than slimmer people." Uh, SOME do. But something like 80% do not.
Anecdote: I have been obese all my life. A few years back, I was hospitalized for over two weeks. Eating what all patients did, when they did, no going back for second helpings, no snacks, etc.
Uh, yuck.
