If you can train yourself to avoid heavier meals at night, then maybe it will help train you not to snack at night. That's just a theory. Many of our successful dieters do quite the opposite, eating several mini-meals throughout the day, each about the same in size, and find that works best for them.
I think that instead of looking for a diet plan that emphasizes some sort of gimmick, like reversing your meal patterns, that it would be better to choose a diet that focuses on balanced nutrition and your personal health needs.
It's interesting that Greene (Oprah's trainer) actually said, ON THE AIR, that we shouldn't eat after 7 PM. That's a crock! It was at that point that he lost ALL credibility with me.
