Those meals should consist of a palm size portion of protien(chicken breast, egg whites seafood or fish...these are the ones low in fat) along with complex carbohydrates( fruits and vegetables). Absolutely no sugar...this drops your metabolism real fast. This also keeps your body from thinking its starving causing it to drops your metabolism to protect itself. You MUST drink plenty of water as well."

Could you write down exactly what you eat in a day? I think this way of eating may help me but I tend to get carried away and eat way too much. I also think it can be hard to tell when you are "really" hungry, after so many years of unhealthy eating habbits. I know I've become out of sync."

Darren said: "I've heard the same thing, but it's tough to do, IMHO. When you aren't hungry, eating is the last thing you want to do. Although the argument for eating 6 times a day is compelling to me, I've never been able to implement it."

helplesscase said: "Personally, I dont think you should eat unless your hungry."

helplesscase said: "Yeah, just go by what your body is telling you."
