I would recommend what my daughter settled on. Keep healthy food handy, eat often but only until the hunger ends, even if that's only three bites. Do not worry about "meals" per se, eat the salad as one "meal" and the vegies as the other, and the meat as the other, and so on, avoiding carbs is the only thing she restricts, though honestly she does not have her mother's sweet tooth so in no way does she consume the quantity of sugar that I do.
