Your body needs nutrition constantly throughout the day to maintain health.

No, it doesn't. From the time I go to bed to dinner the next day, its using up its glycogen store and starting to burn fat once most of the glycogen is gone.
Where weight loss is concerned, there's a huge amount of misinformation bandied about by hack nutritionists trying to reinvent the wheel so they can sell their latest weight loss book. Most of it is rubbish.

Putting your body through a prolonged period of malnutrition, then gorging at the end of the day isnt something that anyone should do to lose weight

Malnutrition happens through *prolonged* deficit. 16hrs is not prolonged on the body's metabolic timescale.
Weight loss is all about getting your calorie intake below your output. That's it. You don't have to space your meals out, you can eat after 8pm, you don't have to cut carbs or sugar.
BTW, I'm a biochemist, so I know a bit about how metabolism works...
