I have just accepted being hungry all the time. Lost 61 pounds in 6 months, still got 44 to go before reaching my ideal weight. Being hungry all the time became normal after 2 months. It was difficult, still is.

So, my diet plan was - eat less. And of that which I eat, avoid sugar like poison and avoid carbohydrates as much as possible, while still having at least some daily intake split between meals.

And regular blood tests and monitoring by doctors (endocrinologist, GP, cardiologist).

This worked for me. I lost 20 pounds in 30 days, which was my goal. Calories per day 808 average, 645 median. Persistent minor hunger in the afternoon, reduced with lots of carbonated drinks, sugar free jello, and a pickle or two.
How?
Not GP, and I've never done such aggressive diets, but I've found that eating * a lot* of protein really helps with not feeling too hungry.

Sure, it's still there, but I find it much easier to deal with than if I'm eating too much sugar.
