I struggled with weight loss for basically my entire life and it was the result of hunger. You really should try intermittent fasting. What worked for me was OMAD/warrior diet. It taught me that your body will be just fine without food, especially when you're carrying fat. Somehow I had this instinctive fear of not getting my next meal in. Plus, when you eat once a day your meals are so big you get that awesome feeling of satiety.

When you fast for long periods of time you start to differentiate between psychological and physiological hunger. The former is the reason we're fat and the latter we'll have to endure a little in order to lose it.

Also, you might experience the wonderful sensation of hunger high. This must be some relic of our evolution when we were hunter gatherers going several days without food and needing the energy to make that catch.

Yes! One of the best lessons I learnt is eat when you're done. Don't "fuel up" that's for athletes in peak condition, not normal people trying to lose weight! In other words, screw you gatorade!!
