100% agreed, this is indeed true.

Hmm, no. It causes the state in which hunger is never properly satisfied, you end up eating frequently trying to catch up with it and tend to overeat as a result. It may sound strange but diet with longer intervals (something like 16:8 diet, sometimes called intermittent fasting) does
not cause hunger at all, actually it suppresses it. Supposedly it is especially good for persons with type 2 diabetes as it apparently helps to control blood sugar and reduces insulin resistance. You need to have a significant amount of fat and protein in your food in order for this to work properly, carbs burn way too fast (and cause hunger).
