I was into natural body building for over 30 years and experimented with just about every diet I could find. I read scientific studies and researched what other cultures ate that had lower body fat. What I found to work every time was eating one meal a day. I could eat anything I wanted but had to keep the total calorie count under 1,500. I found eating small meals kept my insulin up too long and insulin blocks fat burning as it is used for fat storage. I also felt hungrier after small meals.

I quit body building but I still go back to one meal a day to drop weight and I found I don't need to exercise to lose weight. It helps though.

The one thing that I had to get used to was being hungry and excepting it as a normal, healthy sensation. It goes away after about an hour or so and returns when I would normally eat. I tell myself that it's like getting wet when it rains, you get used to it. When I would ride my bike up to 14 hours a day I had to deal with rain, being sweaty and uncomfortable on the bike. I just had to except it.

I've had people tell me they don't want to be hungry and they feel they can just eat their way thin. They just made bad choices and good choices will cause a weightloss. They end up gaining more weight because they treat the new choices as an all you can eat buffet.

Good luck
