The plan I'm on suggests eating 6 meals a day, spaced out ever 2-3 hours. It's low calorie (800-1000/day), low carb (approx. 80g/day), low fat, and high protein. The prepackaged food is high in other nutrients to ensure you get everything you need for a healthy diet. Because the calories are so low, it works very fast, but remarkably you don't feel hungry very often, if at all. The first 3 days are hell, but after your body goes into ketosis (fat burning state), it's a piece of cake, no pun intended.
One key to losing weight is to burn more calories than you take in.
