“…Although the importance of regular mealtimes is consistently advocated in obesity treatment (Wing et al, 1996;NIH, 1998;DPP, 2002;SBU, 2002;Wadden and Stunkard, 2002;Elfhag and Rossner, 2005), the role of eating frequency in obesity is unclear (WHO, 2003) and there is no clear evidence of the impact of in-between meal snacking and frequent eating patterns on energy balance and weight loss (Drummond et al, 1996;Kirk, 2000;Booth et al, 2004;Jebb, 2005). …”

Objective: To study the effect to recommend no snacks vs three snacks per day on 1-year weight loss. The hypothesis was that it is easier to control energy intake and lose weight if snacks in between meals are omitted. Subjects/Method: In total 140 patients (36 men, 104 women), aged 18-60 years and body mass index430 kg/m 2 were randomized and 93 patients (27 men, 66 women) completed the study. A 1-year randomized intervention trial was conducted with two treatment arms with different eating frequencies; 3 meals/day (3M) or 3 meals and 3 snacks/day (3 þ 3M). The patients received regular and individualized counseling by dieticians. Information on eating patterns, dietary intake, weight and metabolic variables was collected at baseline and after 1 year. Results: Over 1 year the 3M group reported a decrease in the number of snacks whereas the 3 þ 3M group reported an increase (À1.1 vs þ 0.4 snacks/day, respectively, Po0.0001). Both groups decreased energy intake and E% (energy percent) fat and increased E% protein and fiber intake but there was no differences between the groups. Both groups lost weight, but there was no significant difference in weight loss after 1 year of treatment (3M vs 3 þ 3M ¼ À4.176.1 vs À5.979.4 kg; P ¼ 0.31). Changes in metabolic variables did not differ between the groups, except for high-density lipoprotein that increased in the 3M group but not in 3 þ 3M group (Po0.033 for group difference). Conclusion: Recommending snacks or not between meals does not influence 1-year weight loss.

“…Keep off" cannot be justified, unlike the message that smoking causes death on cigarette packs. Indeed there remains no firm evidence that sugars are any more fattening than other sources of energy, although the timing of sugar sodas between meals may be a problem (Booth, 1988;Booth et al, 2004). Fats are liable to be more fattening than carbohydrates or proteins, calories for calorie, but there is still no measure how much weight is lost from reduction in frequency of eating any particular higher-fat option (French, Jeffery & Murray, 1999;Laguna Camacho & Booth, under review).…”

“…Both obesity and ideal points for sweetness come from eating habits. Whether or not a particular habit is fattening is a further question that has yet to be adequately addressed for any common pattern of eating or drinking, including one majoring on sweet materials (Booth, Blair, Lewis & Baek, 2004;Laguna Camacho & Booth, under review).…”
