Lets face it, you eat too much
If you are significantly overweight there is a fact that you will eventually have to come to terms with: You eat too much.
Changing the types of food you eat and exercise are really important in assuring that your body is lean and healthy, but the truth is that no one has ever become seriously obese without overeating. Sadly most diet plans overlook this.
The important question then is how do you eat less? The answer is to gradually train your body to expect less food and adjust your habits to pick up less every time you eat.
The best way to do this is to eat smaller portions more often. Many people eat 2 or 3 times a day. Each time they eat they they are ravenous because they have not eaten for several hours. This causes them to grab a large portion of food and consume it very quickly. This is a very bad idea.
What you want to do is eat 6 times a day and cut your portions in half. This will cause you to get in the habit of eating smaller portions without making you hungry. You will also be less likely to overeat because you will be less hungry each time you sit down.
After a few weeks when you have become accustomed to eating smaller portions start cutting back to eating 5 times a day. Stick with that for a few weeks. Then go down to 4 and eventually to 3 times a day. If you do this properly your body will not react to the reduction in food, you will not go into starvation mode and your weight will naturally drop to a more healthy level.
