Eat More Regular Meals & Keep Portion Sizes in Check

Chugson did not follow any particular diet plan, but started eating regular meals throughout the day, i.e. breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. She focuses more on the portions than the type of food, but shift balance from carb-heavy to a protein/carb balance. Additionally, she avoids carbs in the evening as they make her feel bloated; however, she doesn't ditch them altogether for the day as she tends to feel hungry.
