I'll forget the 3rd person for this....most of the time anyway.
3 meals a day are really going to have you craving junk throughout the day. If it's working for you that's good, but I know I'd be craving all the time. I guess you could say I diet, but I'm not really on any plan. I just watch what I eat most of the time.
There is one thing I do that makes it easier though. Most people that know what they're talking about will tell you that the body will adapt to the amount of calories you give it. This means that over time your body will refuse to let you lose more weight easily. When this happens people will restrict their diet even more to lose weight. This is counter productive since you'll always have to do it. When you try and go off the diet your body will remember the starvation you had it in and really pack on the pounds fast. How many peope do you know that were on a diet and lost a bunch of weight only to put on more when they went off it? Well, this is why.
The way to help avoid this is to have a "cheat day". Big Gunns day is Sunday. On Sunday BG pigs out. He loves his pizza with football.Big Gunns will eat everything he was craving all week. This puts you in a much better mood all week since you know that day is coming. It's much easier to diet this way and in the long run it works. You can't have 2 "cheat days" though. You must pick a day and stick with it.
I don't want to tell you to change what's working, but this works for me. It puts you in a much better frame of mind also. When you're done pigging out that day you won't want to see another cookie for a week. hahaha
