Please help me!

You really only need to eat about 2 meals a day. Also, your body is slow to signal to your brain that it's full (I've heard it takes 30 mins.), so you could continue eating for a half an hour after you've already had enough food. Take lots of bites; this will slow you down and it's healthier. Eat a small amount of something about 30 mins. before dinner so you won't feel the need to scarf everything down.

I lost 20lbs. just by eating less (I'm now at the ideal weight for my height), and I've been holding that weight by continuing to eat that same amount. It's uncomfortable to cut back at first because your body is use to eating more, but it will get used to it.. in the meantime just tell yourself that if your body REALLY needs to eat more, it can use its own fat. I'm sure exercise is also effective, but if you prefer not to excercise more, just eat less, it's the lazy man's diet... I also don't have the motivation to count calories or carbs or follow a diet of certain foods; so eating less in general worked for me.

Oh, people just need one meal. It starts when they wake up, and ends when they go to bad.

Well, It is true that some people are better off eating many small snack throughout the day as opposed to three or two big structured meals.

And one should avoid large meals right before bed because you don't metabolize the food the same while sleeping
 
Or nachos!

I miss the good ol' nachos thread. I look back at it from time to time and it never fails to make me hungry. Larry should stay clear of it.
 
Comparing the lifestyles of people around here (Czech rep., Poland) -- quite similar, maybe a little bit less riding everywhere by car and more walking. People here are eating a lot of fast food junk food too -- and the percentage of young people having problems with overweight here and in USA one could assume, that there must be something wrong with your (american) food. I mean beef-cattle and other meat-animals and poultry. I've read that in the USA it is not forbidden to add some amount of growth and other hormones to the pasture of those animals. This might be a cause of the problem. Lack of movement and eating too much takes its toll of course as well.

I'm willing to give the look-how-European-we-are! jerks this one, on the logic that it also makes them wholly responsible for concepts like war and slavery.

Eh, I don't see why you'd get offended over this one in the first place. It's not in the least bit arrogant for us to claim that people in Poland or the Czech Republic (or Eastern Europe in general) are thinner than Americans. It certainly is true... but it's also not any achievement that we'd be proud of. It's simply what we get from fifty years of communism with all of its usual benefits (empty store shelves, food rationing, etc.). So, it's not because we're better or more health-conscious, but simply because you guys had a far better government and access to better food.
 
That isn't what he claimed -- he said he's *fat* because of Americans.

Your one would be reasonable, different lifestyles and all that. Our friend here, however, is part of the grand internet belief that everything is wrong because Americans are out to get him.
 
It's true that the use of grwoth hormones may have something to do with obesity and even early puberty on some western nations. It's certainly not something exclusive to the US, the usage of hormones is widespread. It's this way on the major cattle-producing countries like US, Brazil and Argentina, and probably on others. Europeans countires probably use hormones too, but it doesn't even matter, because otherwise they import meat from countris that do.

Some do, some don't. At least in Austria you could not sell cattle that was raised with hormones if the buyer is aware of it (but I guess there is a reasonably sized black marked ;-) ). Even the local McDonalds here promises to only use meat from local farmers, which has a fairly low degree of industrialisation.
