[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,

Thanks for the feedback. I already sort of knew what I needed to work on, but seeing it in writing really helped as a sort of kick in the butt. And yeas, as someone mentioned, I was able to maintain a lower weight when I was younger essentially eating the same way I do now, but age has a way of changing things.

Thanks again.[/quote]

I'm the pp who posted about lowering carbs overall. I was the same way - in high school I was underweight and wouldn't gain weight no matter how much I ate. It's a huge adjustment for me since I never had to watch my weight in my teens or 20s. I'm now in my 40s and looking to lose 35lbs.

One other thing I didnt' add is that I was basically a diet soda addict until I read more about how diet soda can spike your insulin levels despite being sugar free. This causes your body to release less leptin, which tells your body when you feel full. Thinking back over the last couple years I do think my diet soda consumption contributed to my continuous hunger. I've cut diet soda out completely and so far (a whole week, haha) I've been able to stop snacking between meals completely. I just have black coffee or green tea if I feel the need for something between meals.[/quote]
