I find I lose weight better when I focus on adequate nourishment.  If I eat a good variety of fruits, vetable, protein, dairy, etc at most meals, I don't seem to feel as hungry.  When I stray from a well rounded meal, then I seem to get in trouble.

It's almost as if my body knows when it has eaten good things and is satisfied.  The hunger is less during those times and my blood sugar seems to stay more "even". When I eat, say, a meal that is mostly carbs, etc, then I get hungry a little while later.  The body needs nourishment, as opposed to food, and I think I don't get the vitamins and minerals I need from my food, then I start feeling more hungry.

I'm focusing now on reducing stress too.  I think that will help me lose weight as I tend to snack more when I am feeling down or stressed out.
