If you're overweight, I'd recommend learning to fast. Lookup up the research in Russia and now some cancer research from UCSD to ensure you comfortable with the process and idea. Once you get the monkey off your back, the one that is always urging you to eat (for a variety of reasons - stress, food ads, etc...), it's easier to say no to food. When you've committed to not eating, you don't get to rationalize or fool yourself about some "snack" you're having. After 3 days, the physical hunger goes away, though the psychological desires have not completely faded. You'll learn about how much time you devote to food satiation. Some of that mental clutter will fade away as you fast. I've gone for 3 days, but am looking to do 5 in the future. Our bodies are amazing and designed to survive these calorie droughts - our ancestors evolved this adaptive ability to sustain our life through hardship. Observe this hardship, rather than reacting to it. Keep observing and see what you find about the nature of your body and this life. You are now halfway through, might be time ask some tough questions.
