when you binge for a half-hour every few days do you purge afterwards? What much do you eat in that half-hour? I need to know more about these binges to tell you if they can be helped by tweaking your diet (which looks ok) or by some other means. some details please.

In the bigger picture, you generally want to eat 5-6 small meals / day. Are you hungry during the day or feel tired? I guess you are close to that w/ the above diet schedule. Peronally I would toss the protein bars & get in more real food. Also are you taking a good multivitamin? And also do you give yourself at least 1 cheat meal / week?

As far as the 1/2 hour, it takes a little bit of discipline to get into the swing of a tight diet. Yes I KNOW it can get REALLY BORING sometimes, but that's where it helps to look forward to a good cheat meal and also get creative with your meals. I found the South Beach Diet book has a bunch of great recipes that will fit a diet. There's also a bunch of recipes / food suggestions in the food section of EF. And finally do you have any quicky snack stuff like sugar free ice pops or sugar free jello? The ice pops work for me. Another option (keeping in mind its an acquired taste...), you can get some tofu & mix in some protein mix. It makes sort of a pudding, but its good if you have a taste for chocolate / vanilla / whatever.

Another thing I needed when I was dieting was a really tight schedule so I was too busy to worry about getting the munchies. This has, at times, included posting on EF until the hunger is gone.

Hope that helps a little.

i have been doing ver well acutally...latelly..thank you. The tight scheadual works for me too the zone bar that i eat is like 210casl..adn is 40%carbs 30% fat (including omega...) and 30% protein. It coems in greta flavours and i use that as my treat.....it keeps me sane...and its good for before my workout.....i hate protein bars..btu i eat them occasionally....i also take and iron and multi-vitamin in teh morning with my breakfast.
