Yes, as I note in my article, there are multiple reasons why the mini-meal approach may be the best choice for you, and you underscore same. Will address in a future article, too. And you are so right about adrenals! I appreciate your report - and congrats on the 18 lbs gone! Lani Carrie,

I read your post with great interest- as I started implementing the concept of mini meals in my own life three months ago, and through doing so, melted off-rather effortlessly and to my profound joy- the 18 pounds that had accumulated over the last three years. The results have been amazing for me- and my Mom, though in thinking about the whys and hows of the results, I have a different theory as to why mini meals bring about the rather amazing weight loss results they do for many women. My problem has been hypoglycemia-exacerbated by peri menopause and exhausted adrenal glands. By eating mini meals, I've been able to regulate my blood sugar levels, and thus rest my over-worked adrenals-which has led me to lose that fatty layer around the middle that so often accumulates due to spiking cortisol levels. I also have felt that by implementing smaller meals more often, my body has become more efficient in handling digestion, etc. My Mom has experienced the same phenomenon. I'm sure you are quite correct re: the metabolism theory but this blood sugar/adrenal concept just might be something to consider when debating this issue further. The Adrenals play a huge role in women's health and I think are often so very overlooked, and underestimated. Just a thought! Keep up the great work!
