Most of us are familiar with the Japanese Sumo wrestlers who weigh a TON, but recently I read how they become grossly obese and thought I'd pass it on.
They fast during the day, then gorge themselves at night and go to sleep!
So take note--it's really true that to lose weight we should eat breakfast, and then eat small meals during the day, and AVOID night eating. Easier said than done, as many of us get our worst cravings at night, or our worst anxiety.
If we don't eat enough during the day, our bodies go into starvation panic, and when a load of food comes late in the day, the body hoards it as FAT. So if you don't want to buy your clothes at the Sumo Wrestlers Boutique, regulate your eating schedule!

Gotta Lova You!
Please research intermittent fasting. There are MANY benefits of IF including weight loss.
It is completely FALSE that we go into starvation mode after just a few hours.
How am I losing my weight? Via IF, and I'm averaging over 2 lbs loss a week. I pretty much do everything you say not to! Lol.
Thus, your post is riddled with generalizations that on the outset seem true but under scrutiny just don't hold up. There's a hell of a lot more to how sumo wrestlers gain weight than what you're saying.
