Truth be told, the trick is many small, healthy meals through the deal plus moderate exercise. I eat a light breakfast in the morning (egg whites or yogurt)then go to work and eat a light meal every 1.5 to 2 hours (peach/other fruit, tuna or chicken, cooked veggies or salad with lemon juice, handful of almonds, etc.). This way by the end of the day my blood sugar hasn’t been spiking or dropping and I can eat a light dinner in the mid to late afternoon before sleeping a few hours later. The perks of this are that I’m really never hungry nor am I overly full and sluggish. Moreover, I don’t actually feel like I’m dieting and my metabolism remains where it should be.
“B’derech she’adam rotzei lailaich bah, molichin oto” Hashem should lead you all on the road to healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives. Hatzlacha Rabbah!
