Read the Atkins chapter on plateaus. It means don't eat more protein than you need close to bedtime (4 hours) so that your body can burn the fat while you sleep.....
Make lunch your larger meal - and cut back on dinner a little!!! IT WORKS!!!
Protein is negative calories (meaning it uses more calories to burn it off than it has in it) so you are burning the calories - which is good, but most fat loss occurs at night.
So by not protein loading at night you are making your body rely more on your fat stores than it does during the day.
At - lease this is what I have been taught - all I can say is that it works for me.....
