• Take daily food allowances in 3 regular meals with breakfast as heaviest and supper, the lightest.
• Omit super but not breakfast if ever skipping a meal is desired! allow a 5-hour interval between meals, and no less than 3 hours from the last meal to bedtime.
• Never snack just before bedtime.  It is a major offense.
• Drink from 6 to 8 glasses of pure water every day. Drink in between meals.
