Appetizer
Eat MORE often. In an effort to lose weight, or because they’re distracted with work or another activity, many people wait until they’re absolutely famished before they eat. This is a surefire way to unconsiously add on the pounds.
Main Course
While our cultural eating habits have traditionally been based around 3 square meals a day, most experts now agree that eating smaller meals more frequently is a better way to go. By feeding your body a small meal of proteins, carbs (and sometimes veggies) every 3 hours or so, you will keep your metabolism revving.
Spreading your calorie intake out across the whole day will not only keep you feeling energized, you will not have to worry about bingeing when you finally do get your hands on some food because your body will never be in starvation mode.
Dessert
While I usually do not promote one eating plan over another, I do recommend that you check out the Body For Life website for many great tips on frequent eating. This plan recommends that you take in 6 small meals a day, and I’ve found that the meal recommendations and recipes provided on the site to be very helpful for folks trying to make this change.
