You can still be getting too many calories a day, eating hardly nothing if you are eating the wrong things. Not discounting the soy whey protein, the tomato diet, the cabbage soup and apple banana split diets either... just that less calories in/more calories burned = weightloss. People that drop 200 pounds with gastric bypass surgery do so because they are not able eat as many calories. People that lose weight on weightwatchers do so because they are not eating as many calories. Eating less, exercising more leads to weightloss = fact.
I know the feeling of thinking that things wont work because they are inconvienient and that if there was a way to just sprinkle some fish oil on my waffles and magically drop 20 pounds I would have went that route too. But the thing is you can enjoy all kinds of foods, just less of them. And yes eating too little at the wrong times and the wrong foods can lead to weight gain.
If you are not eating all day then having a huge meal and going to bed your metabolism will come to a hault, You have to fuel your body often and carefully.
