For whatever reason, this has worked for me when nothing else has. Of course we go out to dinner with friends, etc., and I just do something different on those days. We've always eaten lunch out more than we do dinner, but following this regime does not mean you can ne.)ver go out to dinner again!
I came across this method accidentally when I was on pain medication last summer for an injury, and the dinnertime dose was upsetting my stomach. I lost ten pounds in two months. (That's how slow my metabolism is, although I was no longer exercising.) I now feel better and have started eating more calories but am maintaining the loss.
