Here's what works for me:

• When we eat to appetite, I find I naturally vary my intake.
• No snacking -- I do two big meals, and nothing else.
• Supplement: Everybody needs D3 and more C. You could get some help with Chromium picolinate, the cravings killer!
• ONLY important carbs: I only eat my favorite vegetables, the darkest chocolate, the best meat I can afford.
• I don't consider myself deprived. What I lack in food I get back in HEALTH.
