<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I realize this is a little late but I have also had to start eating about 6 much smaller meals, and/or about every 3 hours. I at least have to keep some protein in my stomach or I'm in big trouble. Over the past 2 years I have gone from a size 16 to less than a size 12 and with the 14 down in the past year - without trying. This recently landing me in the hospital for a week and out of work on disability for the next 2 months. In watching pbs shows and other nutritional related shows (not sales type), the 6 small meals is the way we're supposed to be eating anyway. I have found that forcing myself to at least eat 2 pieces of cheese, or something of substance whether I'm hungry or not, has done great. Weight is coming back, things have "solidified", and I don't get nauseous (sp). Either way it's working. Jerri
