Allow yourself 100 calories (or your personal hourly burn rate - see "How To Follow" instructions) for every waking hour. For example if you normally wake before 7am and go to bed after 11pm. This gives you 1600 calories for each day. An important feature of this method is that you must always EARN your next meal by doing without food for a number of hours equal to the caloric value of your last meal. Therefore; if you eat 300 calories at 7am you can not even consider putting another thing in your mouth until after 10am. The same is true for lunch... If you eat 600 calories at 12pm you can not eat another thing until after 6pm. The tricky part is the evening meal. If you eat at 7pm and the meal is 800 calories, you have to do without food for eight waking hours; so that would be four hours before bed and four hours after you wake at 7am. Therefore you will not be able to eat anything until 11am the next day.
