i eat 4 medium sized meals per day and don't eat after 6:30. With plenty of water, I'm never ravenous. The only rule I have is to not let myself go more than 4 hours without eating something.
The breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack plan never worked for me. i always just ended up eating way too much and even when all of the food was on plan, I just wasn't losing because it defied the laws of physics to do so.
I really love SB concepts, but think that some parts of it need to be tailored to fit each person on it. This is one of those things. Not starving yourself IS important, it might cut the numbers on the scale for a bit, but it is doing detrimental damage to your metabolism and your body. Eat when you're hungry, but keep tabs on the clock to make sure you're not going too long.
