Yeah, I'm going to wake up and keep cooking my usual two egg breakfast, but I'm going to leave off the toast or biscuit and replace it with a banana or some fruit, if I'm still hungry. For dinners, I usually eat at work, so I will probably start packing my own food again. I need some healthy work meal ideas. I do have a fridge and microwave that I can use at my workplace. Any help with that would be awesome.
For suppers, I have a tendency to eat and eat and eat until I get satiated. Not necessarily full, but satisfied. I'll keep eating and eating until I get satisfied, even though I am full. I don't know how else to describe it. It doesn't happen at breakfast or dinner - just supper. So, I'm going to have to think of something to get past that. Due to my work schedules and stuff, I can't just take a break and eat a snack mid morning and mid afternoon. Doesn't happen and can't happen. So, the five meals a day thing is out.
I'm sure that since I am not gaining any weight and not loosing any weight that just by me getting regular exercise six days a week will really help get my weight down. If I get to the point where exercise won't do it anymore, then I'll keep modifying my diet.
I would really like to loose all this fat and get some muscle definition, but I have no idea how feasible that is going to be. Anyways, I guess I'm going to find out this year!
As we age, our metabolism naturally slows down. Eventually, traveler and rg will realize this. Obesity is such a huge problem in this country and taking a stimulant to curb appetite and increase metabolism is worth it to drop weight that will definitely cause health problems as we age.
You don't have to stop for a meal. Keep a couple low carb protein bars with you (in your desk, in your toolbox, etc) to eat every couple hours in between meals. It will keep your metabolism up in between meals...especially if you have a low impact desk job.
Increasing protein intake help keep your body from going catabolic as you decrease overall calories and increase exercise. Your body will actually use muscle for fuel instead of fat if you don't do something to stop it. Same thing happens if we skip breakfast. Upping protein actually triggers your body to use more fat as fuel.

It is not "poison" and can accelerate fat loss when used with proper diet and exercise. It can also help the "last meal" binge eating that is so common. We tend to starve ourselves all day and decide to give up at dinner time. I fight it, too. Water before meals helps, but only lasts so long. See if you can find one thing that is very satisfying for you and eat some in moderation after dinner. "Cheating" on a diet is a good thing and can be controlled. It's the lack of being able to eat what we like and want that makes it so easy to quit altogether. I have entire cheat days where I don't watch anything I eat. It helps curb the feeling of being deprived of foods I love to eat. It may even make those foods more enjoyable by making them a real treat....a reward, if you will. The last meal needs to be low carb and curbed (amount of food and calories) more than earlier meals. This is the one that stays with you all night. If your body has been deprived of calories all day, then you overeat, your body will be in panic mode and will store this last meal as fat. We can't get around that unless we have the metabolism of a 16 year old. (most of us don't)
