1. Eat 4-6 small meals per day.

I stopped right there. That's what most people do and get fat: meal, snack, snack, meal, snack, snack, meal! No! (personal opinion.)

No. It's all in WHAT you eat.

Sumo wrestlers eat up to nine square meals a day...I'm thinking that eating more often would HAVE to mean eating small snacks throughout the day, as opposed to actual meals.

I had it backwards. I eat 6 splurge meals a week.

The same thing struck me! Snacking and picking are surefire weight gainers, IMO. She also forgot to mention that it doesn't hurt a lot of us to cut back on drinking if you want to lose weight. And sodas, for that matter.

The idea is to eat less than you normally would. Divide the intake from three small meals into five or six smaller meals – and eat real food, not junk. This helps prevent the person from feeling hungry and pigging out.

I don't eat 4-6 meals a day. I eat 3 with a light snack in between each one. Breakfast is usually fatfree, low cal yogurt with some whole grain granola mixed in it and about 6oz of Hot&Spicy V8 juice. Snack is a piece of fruit around 10am. Lunch varies but is kept to about 250-300 calories and is very lowfat. I sometimes have a very low cal, low fat dessert after lunch like sugar free jello or fat free pudding or something. Afternoon snack is usually some 94% fat free popcorn or some rice cakes. Dinner varies but portion control is done and I avoid high calorie or fatty foods. Usually a ton of salad, 3-4 ozs of lean meat (if any), and a low fat, low calorie side dish. I usually wait an hour or more after dinner for a low fat, low cal dessert. Calculations say my body burns over 2500 calories a day and I'm keeping my intake at less than 1500 while eating healthy. I lose, on average, about 2.5 lbs a week doing this.
