Title: Based on Faulty Premise?
Review: This book is based on a dubious premise: that if you don't eat every 3 hours your body launches a "starvation protection mechanism (SPM)" in which it saves fat and cannibalizes muscle, keeping you fat. But what about all the men in prisoner-of-war camps who were starved? Their bodies didn't slow down their metabolisms and keep them fat; they ended up looking like skeletons. Also, Cruise states that you shouldn't eat 3 hours before going to sleep--that, plus 8 hours of sleep equals 11 hours, almost half a day, when you are not eating at all, much less every 3 hours, so isn't SPM already working against you for almost half a day? I find if I don't have milk and cookies just before retiring to bed that my stomach gets all acid and growls during the night, waking me up. I think the every 3 hours bit is just another diet gimmick.
