This was suggested to me - eat more often, but have smaller meals.....I thought it was absolute crap till I tried it.
I have breakfast at 7:00am, smoko at 10:00am, lunch at 1:00pm, an afternoon snack at 4:00pm, tea at 7:00pm and maybe a snack at 10:00pm.
I feel that I am always eating, so it never once feels as though I am on a diet or anything. I never crave for anything (don't really go for 'health foods' just smaller meals) and I have lost weight constantly. This, combined with regular exercise (1 hour every 2-3 days) has been great for me. As with the majority of people in this thread, I don't want to look like Arnie, just lose some fat and tone up a bit. I don't do it so that other people will say 'gee you look good', I do it so that I think 'gee I feel good'.
My only regret is that I didn't find out this sort of information when I was 18.
