It works for me anyway, when I don't eat for 8-10 hours I get real hungrey and wind up eating a huge meal. Now that I am doing portions, I am never hungry and eat less and I never feel starved.

i hear ya, not trying to mess with what works for you. keep up the good work.
actually, keeping food in your stomach has been shown to be counter-productive to fat loss. in a nutshell, your body is in either a fed or fast state at any one time. while in the fed state, your body constantly produces insulin, and other hormones. research has shown that you are not in fat burning mode when insulin is being produced and in the bloodstream.
that being said, i think that is secondary to the total amount of cals consumed. eat less than maintenance and weight loss occurs. once you get to the point where you literally have <5 lbs to lose, things like the above help, eating fatty acids. etc.
