I do eat every 2-3 hrs.  Sometimes when I think I am hungry - I am acctually thirsty.  I drink - then the hunger goes away for 30 -60 min.    Now - please remember about calories and proteins..
Too many carbs - makes me more hungry... and eating just carbs - (with no fat or proteins) will make me eat and eat and eat.  Be aware of that.

 I plan my meals and snacks for every 2-3 hours.  I try never to miss one as it disrupts my schedule for the rest of the day.  I even eat if I am not hungry because I know by missing one of these snacks, it will throw me into a tailspin later in the day and I won't be able to get enough food in to satisify my overwhelming hungry at that point.  For around 1000-1100 calories a day, I have 6-7 mini meals with about 80-95 grams of protein and less than 100 grams of carbs a day.  It definitely can be done, it just needs to be planned.  Look on Cafe & Cardio and see what I eat during the day.

I eat no sooner than every 4 hours otherwise it's hard to get all my fluids in
because of waiting half and hour to an hour after eating before I can drink
anything. Otherwise you're just going to flush your food out of your pouch
and be hungry too soon.

Hi ncgirl! Why do you love the results? what difference has it made?
I´m doing the every 2 hour thing trying to keep blood sugar stable but I´d love to hear how your method works for you.
Do you feel hungry between meals?
I´m usually starving at 3 hours...
what do you eat, for instance?

long question, huh?
