Nyhasla, first things first
I've only just begun again and joined Weight Watchers and there is point counting involved. Also, I'm going to stay at the meetings heard that's really important.
Reading over SusanB reply to you makes sense. Maybe try to change a few things around and then you will find the right fit for you.
I also heard and read in the Prevention: Healthy Woman Special Lose-Weight Edition book example from the book:
That eating 6 mini meals a day is much better and that just eating 3 square meals a day, you're creating terrific imbalances in your energy levels. Researchers had found in a study that the people in the group that added the three snacks a day to three regular meals balanced their energy better, lost fat and increased lean body mass [as well as increased their power and endurance]. There is science to support the fact the more meals work, but the reason it works is because it does something that many diets don't do: It keeps you more full and satisfied, which will reduce the likelihood of a diet-binge.
For scheduling purposes, alternate your larger meals with smaller snacks. Eat two of your snacks roughly 2 hours before lunch and dinner, and one snack roughly 2 hours after dinner.
Sample Time Schedule
8 am
Breakfast
11 am
light snack
1 pm
Lunch
4 pm
light snack
6 pm
Dinner
8 pm
light snack.
Plus
Exercise of course
Take note also that breakast skippers are 4.5 times more likely to be overweight. Missing your morning meal causes blood sugar to dip, leaving you over hungry and quadrupling your chance of overeating.
I'm fairly new to 3fatchicks forum and I have found all the people on 3FC have been very helpful and seem like great people. I usually go into the 300+ group and now I think I will also come into the Support Group too!
All the best and good luck.
