It is more efficient for your metabolism if you space your meals out by 2-3 hours, giving the previous meal time to breakdown, utilize, and digest. Besides, if you ate every half hour, your life would totally revolve around eating, and I doubt you would be able to stick to the plan as it would become stale. Heck, eating ever 2-3 hours is an enormous chore for most as is.
yeah, i can't see every 30 mins being very convenient at all.
plus if you don't eat enough, you get not enough insulin released, etc.
think of it like this: 20,000 years ago, humans were nomadic tribesman who were hunter/gatherers. Walk a few hours...then stop for 10 mins to rest, drink water, eat some berries and snack on dried meat. repeat 5 times a day, then setup camp for the night.
we really haven't evolved that much in 20,000 years...our bodies still like frequent 'grazings' of nutritious foods.
