Would some of you mind sharing WHEN you eat your packets? I feel like I eat them too close to meals, I'm just wondering how others spread out their packets....Also, am I the only person here doing 4 packets?

I did four packets until I got under 200.

8:00 Bfast - packet/coffee
12:30 ish lunch - packet and 2 cups veggies
3:30 snack packet
6:30 dinner
9:00 snack

I get up around 7 and go to bed late at 11:30 or 12 so this worked for me. You could adjust earlier if you get up earlier. I also usually can work in the morning without noticing any signs of hunger, but by afternoon I was hungry for something and could not make it to dinner, so gad my snack then. If you get hungrier mid-morning, have a snack then and move lunch a little later.

Thanks, JLUS- I never wake up hungry and put off breakfast as long as possible (usually a drink of some kind) but once I have that drink the hunger begins. So, I have breakfast at 930 (getting up 645) then lunch around 1130, snack around 1 then dinner around 6 and I'm hungry then.... I need to figure out a way to delay that afternoon snack..but it's the worst time of day for me between 1-3.

Literari, I've only ever done 3 packets, but I have done a few things to stretch my food out during the day on my hungry days. Typically, I have breakfast around 7:30, lunch at 12 or 12:30, snack at 3:30 and dinner around 7. If I feel like it's a hungry day, I'll have a more filling packet for lunch (chips or chocolate shake) and save my veggies for around 2 pm. You could also split your dinner protein to make a more substantial lunch, which may help you hold out for that snack. It is important to distinguish between what's true hunger and what's boredom though, so if I get the hungries during that dreaded afternoon stretch, I'll take a break from my desk and go for a walk to distract myself. If my tummy is still rumbling, I have a pickle jar stashed in my work fridge that I'll take a couple spears from. I also recognized I had a problem with craving those afternoon bars...it was all my sweet tooth talking, not real hunger. Now I have restricteds for breakfast only so I'm not tempted to eat something when I don't really need it. Sorry this is probably a longer answer than you wanted!

Most coaches will insist you eat with in 30-60 minutes of waking up. It is important to literally break your fast and get your body working again. Try to move Bfast up... a light fruity drink at that time.

You are having 4 packets, right? You only listed three.

Maybe try...
Bfast. 7:30
Lunch. 11:30
Snack. 3:00
Dinner. 6:30
Snack. 8:30
