[QUOTE="cold ethyl, post: 652378, member: 107467"] Ally, lots of good advice here. I had a lot of weight to lose initially ( over half gone now) so decided that calorie counting and carb control had to be a two pronged attack- I try not to have more than 1200 cals a day on average and I weigh out high calorie foods like cheese and oils. Fats are very energy dense and you don't actually need a big portion of them to replace the missing carbs. I can understand how if you have been used to big portions that you are continuing to eat them and the danger is that your plate may now have even more calories on than before if you are filling it with fats. Try to use a smaller plate( I quite often serve my stews or curries in a bowl rather than a plate as it looks more but holds less) and make over half your plate low carb veg like cauli or cabbage or salady stuff. I can't remember if you are on Metformin but it acts as an appetite suppressant in part, so you could ask to try it as a helping hand? I've certainly found it dulled my once voracious appetite.
