Hi Amanda, glad you could join us.
Many of us have had great success in losing weight without hunger by following low-carb principles. It's not a diet in the way that such things are sold these days, more a few basic rules to bear in mind whenever you eat.
In short, fat doesn't make you fat, carbohydrates make you fat.
Therefore eliminate the main sources of carbohydrates from your diet, in particular bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and in fact anything made from refined flour or sugar.
Instead, base your meals around healthy foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy foods, vegetables and nuts. It's not nearly as restrictive as it sounds and you can enjoy an endless variety of meals using these ingredients.
The purpose is to reduce your blood sugar which, due to elevated insulin levels, will cause you to gain weight and make weight loss almost impossible.
There are many low-carb recipe books on the market, any of which will help you.
Good luck, and keep in touch.
All the best,
fergus
