[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start intermittent fasting. It will help you lose weight, but more importantly, it teaches you how to handle hunger. Once your body gets used to longer fasts, it's like your brain rewires how it handles hunger. Years ago, before I started intermittent fasting, I used to get uncontrollable hunger which often led to overeating and constantly thinking about food. Now I can easily skip a meal, if I need to. I will probably be hungry, but it's like I don't care as much as I used. Fasting taught me that it will be okay if I don't eat for a while.

You also need to go to the doctor to make sure nothing else is going on that is making you hold onto the weight. If you go in and let them know that you are ready to make a change they won't give you a hard time. As other have said, increasing fiber, protein, and healthy fats with also help a lot.[/quote]

One thing for anyone who is going to try IF, is that you should be aware that it is not unusual for someone to lose weight, sometimes even a significant amount of weight, from IF, but then to plateau and not be able to lose additional weight.  I've known several people who did IF, lose weight, felt great, then got frustrated when they hit that plateau and the weight loss stopped.  They didn't gain back, but they stopped losing before they had gotten to their target weight.[/quote]
