This concept contradicts what a lot of people think - that you have to eat less to lose weight. But this diet concept is part of the popular Three Hour Diet, which Tyra Banks publicized last year, and it's also one of the steps in the 30 Day Jumpstart going on right now at AOL.

I always thought it sounded too good to be true, until I tried it. Like this article explains, it's not only how often you eat, but what you eat during those meals. So you can't just eat pizza every few hours and expect to lose weight. Instead, you eat small, frequent meals of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The idea is to stabilize your blood sugar and insulin levels, which helps to prevent cravings and massive swings in your blood sugar. And you know what - it works! Sure, it was hard for the first few weeks to give up french fries and cookies, but after that, I wasn't hungry and I wasn't craving sugar and I stopped wanting things like cookies. I lost fifteen pounds, and the healthy habits I learned help keep it off today.
