So I am getting better at the six meal per day methodology. Right now it it mainly the replacement meals, but I am expecting more of a reliable process with real foods after I transition out of this program. The reason I am feeling good about this is that I have been cheating regularly. Last night I had a blueberry muffin from the Cheesecake factory about three hours after my meal, and then another meal around 9:30 that night. What is different is that in the past I would have eaten dessert right with the meal, creating a barrage of calories right then, and then wait five hours and take a hit of cookies or something right before bed. Binging and crashing were the norm. Now I can wait on the dessert until three hours after dinner, helping my body continue to trust that I am going to eat again. This keeps me in fat burning mode, and even though I am not losing that day, I am still experiencing a consistent process.
I remember when I would eat a sugary cereal, and even though it was not a lot of calories, the sugar/carb combo caused a crash around 10, and I would eat another breakfast then. Now I get a more balanced breakfast, and when I eat at 10, it is a light meal of only 100 calories or so. Basically I eat all the time, but am watching the content better.
When I reach my goal weight, I can then spread 11 times my weight across the six meals or so each day.
