OK, I know this is a slow response but better late than never. The thing about not eating in between meals is not so much that I don't eat at all, but my in between meals eating was sometimes another 2 or 3 full blown meals. When I eat in between meals now, it is usually a banana or an apple. I also drink a lot of water to keep from feeling hungry all the time. I agree though, each of us will find what works best for them. Nothing worse than someone assuming that because their plan worked for them that it MUST work for you! For example, I know that a lot of carbs isn't the answer but to get myself kickstarted I was eating a ton of breakfast cereal (Cheerios, Special K, Rice Chex etc.) sometimes for breakfast ADN lunch, two bowls per meal with 1% milk. After losing weight it occurred to me that I needed to get a little more balanced for the long haul, so I did. I still eat breakfast cereal but I balance it out with protein and of course we are excercising! So far so good!

Great thread, tons of good ideas!!
