Eat every 2-3 hours (5-6 times per day) never starve yourself for the big meal.This is a crucial step in curving cravings, and getting your body back on the path to wellness. This is not the time to start restricting calories to the point where you are so hungry you are eating as much as an elephant eats in one lump setting. If you eat a little all day you will not give into the temptation of all those grains, and high sugar foods that will sabotage your healthy diet.
