After many diets and lifestyles that I have tried during the past 20 years I have come up with something that really works. I will go into more detial for the reasons behind this life style, but for now, here is how it goes:
1. You eat three times a day, but you eat really well, so don't worry. After the first few days it will be really easy to keep.
2. Wait 5 hours between each meal. Try to eat the last meal by 21:00 o'clock.
3. Breakfast is carbohydrates only, lunch is normal (i.e. mixed), dinner is proteins only.
4. Beans and legumes count as proteins.
5. Try to eat only one type of protein per meal and each meal some other protein.
6. If your BMI is 30 or more you eat 100gr carbohydrates, if it is under 30 you should eat 75gr per meal. Use a cal table that is widely available, but I will post in the near future some general data so that it will be easier for you. One cal table that is quite good and fairly easy to use is http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/carbcounter.shtml
7. Try to eat around 20gr of healthy oils, such as olive or avocado oil, nuts and seeds, each meal. Per day you shouldn't eat less then 30gr, but not less then that, as your body needs this minimum amount.
