Ok, sweetie - know this problem well - Here's the solution as I see it:

You need a plan.

Choose when you're going to eat - it has to fit in with your daily routine - best earlier in the day rather than later. In fact when I lost my post-pregnancy fat I had a cut-off time of about 5pm which worked great. After that I would drink water and wait for breakfast the next day!

Next -think of all the healthy foods that you just love to eat. Work out which foods you'll eat when. For example, I would have toast for breakfast with a healthy spread and then stay off the bread for the rest of the day - salad and soup for lunch (which I ate when I was hungry after breakfast - sometimes even 11am) and then when I was hungry again I had my tea which was usually corn flakes (love them!). At each meal I would eat as much as I wanted because the aim was to fill me up til the next meal. And I tried to stick to just one thing for each meal and not take in too many different tastes or foods in one meal.

So there you go! Don't know if this will be of help but it worked for me - but them I'm a woman. Maybe it's different for you men! I expect you'll need a few more carbs and meat than I had! But I think having a plan is good - otherwise any food is fair game at any time of day.

Let me know what you think!
