the big meal of the day

It might be working for us. Hubby have lost about 1 kg. I have also made sure to load the plate with greens so it looks really full, but really the serving size of meat and carbs are about half of what we used to have.

It is really good to know that it worked for you. My husband was able to reduce 5 pounds but again gained back the moment he was on leave and stayed at home. I guess he was able to have exercise going to office and having a little walk rather than staying home and relaxing in front of TV almost whole day.

Generally what's worked for me is to keep both breakfast and lunch the biggest of the three meals and eat just a very small portion of lean protein and some greens for dinner. I find that reasonably portioned meal earlier in the day reall help keep me going

I fall into the last meal of the day being the biggest and maybe that's where my weight gain has come from. I need to look at rearranging my meal habits.

I used to have a massive evening meal but these days have cut it out and it really is helping me to lose weight. It also makes me feel so much better in myself. I used to know someone who wouldn't eat anything after 7pm - she probably had the right idea!!

I am the same way in that my biggest meal of the day seems to be dinner. I never really thought about it having to be lunch. I have always just assumed that the biggest meal was supposed to be breakfast which to be honest is my least favorite.

My biggest meal is always dinner, too... but yes, I've heard that it's a good idea to make it lunch. That just isn't possible for my lifestyle, though. That said, I think that *late* dinners are a lot worse than earlier dinners. Because of the digestion issues and making sure to get enough exercise and moving after dinner, I've always made sure to serve it and eat before 6 p.m.

This is what I'm trying to do. But it's pretty hard when the people around you won't stop snacking!

My meals are equal to each other and my largest meal in my dinner, and I have a dessert of fruit as my last thing that I will eat if I get a little hungry.
