Subject: I have a question.....

I bought a magazine today because anytime I see a new diet I just have to read about it. The funny thing, is that no matter what diet it is whether it be Dr. Atkins or any other low carb diet, weight watchers, slim fast, etc. they all have a few major things in common. That you should eat a lot of vegetables, salads, stay away from junk food and sweets, drink plenty of water and exercise. I'm also finding that more and more diets in different magazines are leaning towards MORE PROTEIN and less carbohydrates. I think these people are finally learning!!! I know I always preach to my family and friends that if they want to lose weight they have to cut out the sugar and flour! Sugar has no good use and it only harms your body!

Here's my question.... the diet I was reading about today suggested that you eat 5-6 small meals per day instead of 3 large meals per day. They were saying that this will help your metabolism and your body will burn fat much faster this way. Does anyone agree that if you constantly eat all day that your body will be a fat burning machine? I was thinking that if I did this and ate all legal foods on Atkins that it could really work. Does anyone have any advice on this?

I was also wondering how many hours should my last meal be before I go to bed at night? I try to make sure I let my food digest for 2-3 hours before bedtime,but sometimes I just have to have some low carb dessert right before bed and I'm afraid that that stalls my weight loss sometimes. I was wondering if anyone ever eats right before bed and still loses weight, or if you really have to eat a few hours before bedtime.
