Thanks. That's a very good question. Lots to say, but the most practical change was: switching from carbs to fat for energy makes me far less hungry. This is common, because the rollercoaster ride of insulin levels/blood sugar on a carb-heavy diet make it more difficult to eat less. For example: some days I have to make myself eat, because I just don't feel hungry. Fasting also plays a role here; with more satiating, high-fat/protein food, my body just wants less food. My family was supportive, but not participative. The most helpful thing was to simply start very small and having daily habits and 'go to' foods.
