I have AOL also, and it sends the email back with this message...

So I'll just tell you here. I have lost almost four pounds since last Sunday, doing absolutely no exercise what-so-ever and going out to eat twice. The diet I am on is the easiest, most enjoyable one I've ever done, and I haven't had to give up any of the foods I enjoy. Here's what I do...
I eat 8 ounces (or less) every three hours. I am a huge snacker, and eating so often helps me to not feel hungry or like I want to munch inbetween meals. I also heard that eating often helps regulate blood sugar and increases your metabolism. If you do a google search for 'eating every three hours' you'll find articles that explain the benefits and why it works.

I also no longer use dinner plates. Instead I use 7-inch paper party plates that you buy for birthday parties (a tea-cup saucer would also work). This gives me the illusion that I'm eating a full plate. Lol. When I eat crackers, cookies, etc, I don't eat 8 ounces. Instead I eat one serving only, possibly two depending on what it is. I also drink mostly water, except for an occasional soda when we go out to a restaurant. If eating out, I ask for a to-go box when ordering, then when the food arrives, I put 2/3 of the meal in the box and eat the remaining 1/3.
It isn't altering what you eat, counting calories, or relying on magic pills. Instead it is teaching your stomach the correct portion to eat, which will hopefully become a lifelong habit. I refuse to cut out carbs or anything else I enjoy. That seems like a recipe for failure to me. Instead, I eat what I want in moderation and also "when" I'm supposed to.
If you do a search on "Anita Mills", you can see a wonderful example of how this way of eating works. She also has a facebook page if you're interested (you don't need a facebook account to view it).

Just thought I'd let you know what is working for me.
