I wholeheartedly agree. Eating less for some people with strong hunger pains can be almost impossible. I was one of them. Skipping breakfast would make me irrationally angry, and the pain of having an empty stomach was too much to bear. I could not concentrate even if I had mild hunger. I'm going to plug in a program that changed my life, even though I have never done that, and I don't really agree with their business model, but their methodology for training yourself to eat less is top-notch and incredibly simple. The program is called Naturally Slim, and many insurance companies cover it. I think their $50/month fee for non-insured people is a bit outrageous because the principles are simple: * Eat really slowly and stop eating when you're not hungry anymore (not full, just not hungry). Throw away the rest of the food or store it for later. * Only eat when you're really hungry. * Drink diluted orange juice at a 1:8 ratio throughout the day to maintain a steady glucose level and prevent hunger. * Your meals should consist of about 1/3 vegetable or animal protein to keep hunger away. * Instead of having breakfast, drink plenty of water or the diluted orange juice. Most people aren't really hungry in the morning. The beauty is that as your body weight drops, your caloric requirements drop, and if you're following the first rule, you're eating less every week. Probably that's how anorexia sufferers get to eat so little without feeling devastating hunger.
