Hi. Is it Evie Ann and not Bethany? Sorry about that!!
Paul's system is very simple. Nothing to count, measure, weigh, no lists of unforbidden foods, no charts. Nothing! You can eat whatever you want. But the rules are:
1. Eat what you want, not what you think you should eat.
2. Eat consciously.
3. If you are hungry, eat.
4. When you are full, stop.
So if your tummy feels empty eat something. But try to eat slowly, really chewing your food and preferably put the knife and fork down between each mouthful and try not to watch tv but really focus on eating. Your meal can be whatever you want but as soon as you get the feeling in your tummy that you are starting to get full (even if, say, you still have food left on your plate) then go with what your body is telling you and stop eating. When you are hungry again eat again, even if it is 10 minutes later. Soon it becomes very apparent when you are hungry and it is interesting how quickly your appetite wanes and your tummy shrinks! The only thing you might want is the I Can Make You Thin book which is very, very cheap which comes with a 25 minute CD which most people listen to every day.
I hope I have made that clear for you. There are no rules, just eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. If you fancy chocolate, a takeaway or a fresh salad, go with whatever your body wants. No foods are deprived. But don't just eat for the sake of it ie. eating just because you are watching a film (unless you are hungry of course) or eating because you are happy or sad. That's emotional eating and that's where the weight gain will creep in!
