One more side note, while unrealistic and over-publicized, the whole 6 small meals a day is spot on. Having SIX or SEVEN 250 calorie meals a day does work.

The theory is, and it does work is humans were designed to be "hunter / gathers" in that they grabbed what they could, ate, and moved on. This is why people 10,000 years ago humans were not fat.

Due to Human Traditions, we came across this 3 Meal a day thing, where we overeat at each meal. I was at IHOP the other day and had like a 500 calorie breakfast: Two Eggs, two strips of turkey Bacon and ONE piece of toast. Not good, but not bad. But I was not hungry when I left.

Over next to me, I saw this huge fat woman and her chubby daughter devouring pancakes drenched in syrup with sausage and bacon, with a pile of hash browns. There was probably 3,500 calories on that table. I left, and given the Mom's obesity, I am sure lunch was a cheeseburger and dinner was some type of fried meat with lots of bread.

People wonder why they are so fucking fat.

COUNT CALORIES. 1,750 a day. As a side note, evening are the worst. Get a bag of carrots and celery and 30 calorie dressing. That works most nights and is my snack of choice. When you slip, make sure its a Healthy Choice desert. They are not bad.
