Seriously DCUM, this is getting monotonous bordering on plain stupid posting behavior. [/quote]

Not everyone lives on this board to the point where threads get monotonous.

OP, the only thing that worked for me was a kind of modified intermittent fasting.  I was a decent high protein breakfast shortly after I wake up, then nothing but coffee and water until dinner.  I eat a normal sized dinner of whatever my family is having and I feel free to have some popcorn or a small dessert or something afterward if I still feel hungry.  This was hard for a week or two but once I settled in it became second nature.  I don’t count calories - I know my breakfast is ~300 cal and then at dinner I eat until I’m full.  This results in a deficit for me without actually counting.  I lost 30 lbs this way, taking breaks of 1-3 weeks of maintenance where I would eat a samll-medium lunch as well.  I’ve in a maintenance phase now and will go back to losing to get the last 5 lbs off after the holidays.

It took a lot of trial and error for me to find the right system for me, but once I did it truly felt easy.  Counting calories works for a lot of people but for me it drove me insane, so I worked on finding something that would naturally put me in a deficit without counting.  Try to find what works for you.  Pay attention to your body’s patterns and cravings.  What makes you feel satiated? What makes you want to eat? Work around those cues until something clicks.[/quote]
