Probably. We can screw up our hunger signals and our metabolims by not eating. The Schwarzbein book says that eating so often will take some getting used to (basically it's the same schedule that BTD listed), but it's necessary to balance the bodies chemicals and heal your metabolism. That, and if you don't eat very often, your body goes into starvation mode and won't burn any calories.
