Almost every diet/Dr/dietitian recommends the 5-6 small meals a day, pretty much a no brainier. Smaller meals=smaller stomach=fill up a lot faster.
That plus a lot of water help me feel full and not snacking on bad food.
I have gone from 200-210 to 180-185 (my goal is 175).
I was on a low carb diabetic diet, switching to the Atkins (diabetic diet was a scam/clinic and big money suck). Co-workers husband was type 2 and got his blood sugar down by sticking to the Atkins diet.
Again a no brainer, carbs=sugar=evil... but darn I miss bread/pasta/rice/white potatoes (I do cheat about once a week
)
More on point to Vash,
A) Never, never, never turn down free sushi!
B) Your friend is a freak=four pieces of sushi would not satisfy a 80 pound girl (I suspect he was just having a snack and ate before and/or after)
C) I still go out for sushi but just get the sashimi assortment/plate.
D) Back in the day it was not uncommon for me to drop $60-$80 at a sushi bar... and that was before prices went up!
E) Never turn down free sushi!
