5. Watch your protein, 500 calories of pure protein is like 250 calories of carbohydrate. Carbs are twice as bad as protein, but protein is bad too. Choose fatty meats. Fat is the one thing that doesn't raise insulin badly.
6. Try eating INFREQUENT meals. People are being lied to. Man has never eatin 3 meals per day. Shoot for once a day (unless your diabedic). The drops in insulin through this forces weight right off you, and when it is raised, you maintain.

I must take issue with some of this, Tecaddict. Because something does not work for you does not make it un-scientific.
Eating 100 times your body weight is not something we advise; eating 10 times is; and it is scientific. You must satisfy your basal metabolic functioning if you are to remain healthy. Restricting calories lowers metabolism. Restricting calories and exercising (aerobic) will keep your metabolism lowered and promote loss of lean body mass
Protein in combination with carbs will raise insulin; excess protein in the abscence of carbs will be converted to glucose and released slowly w/o causing an insulin spike .
Eating raises metabolism (roughy 10% every time) and helps diffuse drops in blood sugar and the resulting rise in insulin after a meal; eating 6 smaller meals in place of 3 larger ones will keep blood sugar level. The idea is to manage insulin and heal insulin sensitivity .

Research is clear that the best way to keep your blood sugar stable is to eat small, frequent meals, containing both protein and carbohydrate (and even a limited amount of fat, particularly "good" fats such as fish oil). In general, you want to fuel your body roughly every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. That works out to about 5-6 small meals daily. There are several reasons to eat this frequently. It's been demonstrated that athletes who eat 6 times a day have significantly lower levels of bodyfat than those who eat 3 larger meals a day. This is because frequent meals even out your blood sugar, so you don't have the peaks and valleys that cause your body to defend fat. As you'll see below, the body doesn't "store" amino acids, so the frequent meals are also essential to ensure that the building blocks for muscle are present when they are actually needed.
