Story on CNN about woman who lost 235 pounds:

When I read that story I was intrigued by the simplicity of her "diet":

1. Eat every three hours a max of 8oz.

2. No sugar drinks

3. Do not skip meals

4. Don't tell anyone.

That doctor hit the nail on the head for two reasons: simplicity and discipline.

Simplicity: there are many reason why people are overweight. One is certainly due to the grazing habit. For example taking a trip to the fridge for no reason at all due to jaw movement boredom. Setting a timer to go off every three hours keeps your subconscious feeding impulse in check. It works! This leads me to discipline. It is not complicated to be disciplined about food intake quantity when you must eat every three hours when the timer goes off.

So set your timer :-).
FYI 1 oz is similar to 30 grams.
