Stop playing games about timing and which foods you eat. It's all about eating less calories although I have personally have found the easiest way to do that is limit your food to only cooked hamburger. Or only tuna fish. Those fill you up in such a way that you don't get hungry even though you eat tiny amounts. And also you have to eat a multivitamin otherwise you'll get cravings from the trace minerals and other vitamins that you're missing. You'll just get random cravings. So I take a multivitamin. Beyond that eat 500 calories a day in a hamburger only. Cook a bunch of hamburger have the patties cooked and ready and your refrigerator put some salt on them and eat them when you get a little hungry but do the math and make sure you only eat one or two or three a day. After the first day it gets a lot easier your stomach shrinks down you don't get hungry and if you're taking a multivitamin you won't get cravings. And obviously you can't be drinking stuff that have even the trace of a car in it or sugar. It's got to be diet Coke or it's got to be lemon and water and some saccharine or it's got to be unsweetened and uncreamed coffee or just plain water. But let me tell you if you only one or two hamburger patties a day and you only drink water or unsweetened coffee or diet Coke you're absolutely positively going to lose weight. And it doesn't matter what time of day you eat it or whether you go a stretch without eating or any of that nonsense you're going to lose weight. So stop playing with timing and just restrict your calories.
