Lunch between 12:30PM and 13:30PM
Nutrious snack between 15:30PM and 16:30PM
Dinner around 18:30PM, but never ever later than 9PM
No more snacking after 9PM (double calories !)

* This is what happens every day of the weekend and during holidays. But it doesn't really matter, because I usually get up around 10 and go straight to the snack after waking up.

So basically you eat something every 3 hours. Works like a charm. If you don't eat approximately every 3 hours, you're body will start to store fat, like Astra said.

And also: lots and lots of water. I used to drink very little a couple of years ago, basically 2 glasses of water a day. My dietitian said: you will never lose weight if you don't start drinking at least 1,5 liters of water a day. I didn't believe her, I didn't lose much weight. I started drinking a bottle of water a day, and started losing weight. Weird huh
OMG, and I just hate drinking. I drink 2 half cups of cold Arabica-coffee a day. In the weekends 1 wine with water as well.
Even on holidays in a dry country I don't drink much water. My half liter-water bottle lasts me a whole day.
I think I'm a desert-kind or person.
I would like to loose the few kilo's I gained after I stopped running each day. but drinking that much....................I don't know.
