Restricting eating is just very hard. It’s very hard to not eat when you’re hungry. I would say, be physically active and have a diet filled with foods that have high fiber, high protein and have a low calorie density. I have a very active lifestyle and used to count my calories everyday and had to restrict the amount I ate. Since a few years ago I’ve been switching my foods to high fiber or low fat versions and increasing the amount of vegetables in my meals. It’s honestly been such a positive change. I end up full every meal, don’t snack, I don’t have to cut anything out of my diet and I don’t remember the last time I had to count my calories.

In my experience, intermittent fasting works much better in this regard than generic caloric restriction with smaller portions but same amount of meals per day. Feelings of hunger tend to go away after a few days.

  I’m not talking about caloric restriction or smaller portion though. If anything bigger portions. Just food with less calories per gram, more fiber and more protein. All 3 make a given portion of a certain amount of calories way more satiating. Keeping you more full, for longer and harder to overeat.

In my experience, it is easy to eat just the necessary as long as you restrict carbohydrates. Low fat is high sugar, which completely makes me feel like crap. I prefer pork belly.
