It is small changes made consistently over time not large changes all at once that will have the biggest effect on your weight loss.

I'm not sure that I can say I eat six little meals but I do find that I need to have the 3 smaller portioned meals and 2 snacks during the day. On the days that I don't do that I find myself ravenous by the time it comes to a meal, I don't eat eat properly and I end up feeling terrible. I need to keep that blood sugar in line.

I pack my snacks to work with me and fortunately with the type of job that I have it's usually not to difficult to fit those snacks in. I usually do have some almonds and raisins with me and recently I've started drinking a glass of skim milk with my lunch and incorporating a piece of fruit in when I get the after lunch munchies. Mid afternoon I usually have some low fat yogart and throw some sliced strawberries in with it.

I don't think there's a set way for anyone. It's what works for you. I'll never be one to completely give up what I love to eat but there's just a lot less of it and certainly not as often. Deprivation has never worked for me.

Thanks everyone for your input and thoughts.


I really like the idea of maybe something aerobic between sets.

Hi Ginger,


I don't say this too much, but I am also a certified personal trainer.
