Being always hungry is a lousy way to loose weight. It means my body is always trying to conserve energy, as if this was a famine.
Part of the vicious cycle is addiction to food that doesn’t make us feel full (see the Satiety Index for ideas about which foods). Remember that obesity is virtually unknown in hunter-gatherers, even when they have plenty of food available. It takes modern foods to make obesity common (see Stephan Guyenet).
Intermittent hunger can work somewhat well for weight loss, but mainly I need to eat food that’s less addictive and that makes me feel full.
