[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What works well for me is 3 good meals a day.  They can be a pretty good range of anything I want (not 6 pizzas of course but not a salad with grilled chicken no dressing either)  but absolutely nothing till the next meal.  I aim for 5+ hours between meals.  There is tons of differing nutrition info out there but I reads something about insulin response and meal spacing that made sense to me.  I like being able to eat good meals with my family and not restrict.  No rice for Mommy.  No ice cream for Mommy.[/quote]
OP here: I’m really aiming for this! I want to eat three normal meals per day, no snacks, just like my grandparents and great-grandparents did before me. Regular food, no dieting. I feel like a decade of dieting has really messed my mind up, to where the food focus and body chatter is never-ending. I’ve noticed my grandparents have a really normal view of food and accurate hunger signals, and I’m trying to get back to that. Eating when I’m hungry and stopping at satiety like a normal human being, not a piece of toast in the morning with the constant “am I full? maybe I’m full. was that too much?” and then six cookies when I give up at 4 pm. Just be normal![/quote]

So do that.  Stop dieting for a while.  Just eat three meals a day.  Drink lots of water.  Include plenty of fruits and vegetables.  Make sure there is some protein, fiber, and healthy fats, all of which will keep you satisfied longer.  Don't have third and big desserts or anything, but stop restricting your food and get yourself on a three-meals-a-day routine.  [/quote]
