Isn't science always going to be split on such issues until it starts, or is able, to distinguish between the individuals trying to lose weight? Surely until we better understand how people differ in terms of their genotype and how that genotype interacts with the environment (i.e. lifestyle), it is futile to say that this or that does or doesn't work?

In the end, it will probably be a case of this works for this person with this type of genetic predisposition and that works for that person with a different type of genes. For example, some people are resistant to calorie restriction but respond to exercise and vice versa. Similarly, some people respond to low-carb diets, other to low-fat diets.

Nutrigentics and nutrigenomics are perhaps a little way off, but I feel that is worthwhile for people to look into body types. Sheldon's body types are particularly useful to the average person attempting weight loss, as it allows them to identify with a group who had the same problems and goals. It also allows them to set realistic weight loss goals.

Yes it works. It is much better than eating large meals a couple times a day.
