and the benefits of eating at regular times. Many women I see are caught in fairly chaotic eating patterns, from trying to live on 1200 calories a day, to skipping meals, to not eating with the family such as making wonderful nutritious meals for the kids and not eating them themselves.

Some women are very in tune with themselves and can navigate eating at irregular times quite well, eating nutritious food when they feel true hunger signals. But generally speaking, I find its very common for women to try and manipulate their eating to lose weight, often starving themselves in the morning when willpower is the strongest, which often backfires later in the day.
