Question - How important are the snacks. I have found that I am not really hungry between meals alot of the time so I just skip them.

I'm the same way, e6uawfa. I really don't eat snacks unless I have some lunch leftovers or something... I'm thinking its fine so long as it doesn't lead to huge meals, but I am kinda nervous about not following the system by the book.

The snacks really do two things for me -
1) they control the low blood sugar in between meals and
2) they make sure I am getting all my servings of things in - dairy, fats, veggies, protein.

Personally, I know I need the snacks to keep myself from over-eating at lunch and dinner. As an aside, it is also good to be sure you are getting enough CALORIES - you do not want your body to go into "starvation mode" and refuse to drop the pounds . . .

Just my two cents!
Be well -

snacks are pretty important. consistent intake means consistent fueling for the metabolism machine. i don't have a morning snack because I don't have enough time between breakfast, gym and lunch, but I do have a mid-afternoon snack. If I'm not hungry, it isn't a big one, just something to keep my body fueled.
