Not to take anything away from you bro, nor take the wind out of your sails, but that's not a tip. 
That's common knowledge in the world of dieting. Even the beginning fitness enthusiast has read/heard/spoken with someone about 5-6 meals per day, evenly spaced, etc.
Just a thought.......if you want people to read your daily tips/tricks/etc., I feel those that are not mainstream concepts would probably create more of an interest. Not a flame, just constructive criticism. The pm's I've received about this are quite amusing.
Carry on!

No offense taken at all. As a matter of fact, challenges to my "tips" is what makes this thread interesting (as least to me).
Look at it this way: 99% of dieting advice is already out there and should be readily known. You will see the most basic of questions being asked on this diet board by individuals who are viewed as being very knowledgeable by others.
My point is this: never assume that the basic essentials of dieting are known and therefore should not be explained. This point may be proved by asking whether most individuals are following these basics of dieting. Most will probably say "yes, for the most part." I believe most are not - this is the reason obesity is so widespread.
You can delve into higher concepts such as nutrient timing but you have to realize who exactly your audience is. Most on here have a difficult time merely attempting to "get into shape" and/or maintaining an aesthetically appealing physique. Not everyone can have the body of SC.

I am also getting a TON of PM's concerning this.........no way can I answer them all, so in a blanket statement, I have no idea of the poster's credentials. All I know is what you guys have seen him post, so I can't and won't give him a referal.
As for SC, he's been around and knows his stuff. His website and pics (mags, etc.) speak for itself.

I'm not looking for a referral. In fact, I've received emails about personal training and specific diet advice (as opposed to general) and have always nicely declined. I always just refer them to SC. Either my book makes it to the best sellers list or it will not sell at all. In either case, I would never attempt to "hawk" it on an internet bulletin board. lol My regular work pays much too well for that.

Well, you SHOULD be looking for positive referals. Not too many go out (or very few) and purchase books (which usually aren't cheap) from a jo-schmo that no one has ever heard of or reccomends.......best sellers make it because people say "hey, go buy this book or that book, good info, reputable author, etc." that or you are familiar with other works by the same writer.....NJRipped said:I'm not looking for a referral.

Maybe you're right, I think I did read something about the authors of Atkins, SouthBeach, the Zone, etc hawking their wares on internet bulletin boards first. lol Do you think they started as "Jo-Schmo" or did they have celebrity status at birth. I am on boards such as Elite for entertainment value only.

Nope, and I never claimed you had to be a celeb...all I said was one needs "referrals" or people who have read the material, implemented the info., and have positive feedback. Let me explain in laymens terms.
John purchased Atkins book. John lost 30lbs in 6 weeks. Joan asked John how he lost so much weight. John told her to read Atkins. Joan bought atkins and lost 20lbs. Jill asked joan.............following???
You'll get far with a book on general knowledge in this day and age.....good idea. Hey, seriously good luck.
