Replace 2 meals with high fiber, low sugar cereal. When you need a snack, eat a small bowl. Make sure the cereal has 5 or more grams of fiber and try to stay less than 5 grams of sugar. I have to have a little sugar in mine, or I won't eat it. I started this a week before Christmas and lost about 5 pounds... then Christmas hit. The candy threw me off, but I started the cereal thing because I knew it would. Now I'm back to my starting weight, still having a bit of trouble with the dark chocolate... mmm dark chocolate.... but I'm getting there. It's something to try. If you can't stand cereal, try replacing 2 of your meals a day with something else, like a turkey sandwich on highfiber bread with veggies and no cheese. They say that eliminating your choices as much as possible for at least one meal a day helps. I chose cereal because it gives me a lot of energy and keeps me full for quite a while.
