Start smoking cigarettes, JK,JK, I think exerciser is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. Just go for a walk anytime you feel like eating.

You filled yourself up with a bunch of carbs with very little fat or protein. Switch that up and you won't be as hungry. ETA- Zucchini is like the hardest fucking word to spell.

And eat the entire egg as it's the most nutritious part and does NOT cause high cholesterol. I lost 30 pounds eating 6 eggs with about 2-3 cups of spinach nearly every day. Meat and nuts is another winner here. |

Determine about how many calories you would like to consume in a day in order to lose say a pound a week or so. Divide result by 5 or 6.
In other words, eat 5 or 6 small meals every few hours (let's say you sleep 8 hours = awake 16 hours/6 = a meal every 2-3 hours). Make those meals something like yogurt, milk, nuts, protein, etc. and a) you will not be hungry and b) you will lose weight. |

It's very annoying always in a state of ready to chew my arm off. The other night I was so hungry I went crazy. I ate a half pan of beans and cornbread. Then ate a whole package of muffins my wife baked for her kids for preparation for taks testing. |

Start powerlifting and eat more.
In all seriousness, eat more protein. My breakfast almost every day is a two scoop protein shake with milk, coffee, and creatine and an occasional banana. During the week that is ingested at about 6:30AM with lunch not following until 12:30 at the earliest, usually more like 1:30. |

If he is taking Levothyroxine for his thyroid, which is the same meds I take. It recommends that you take the pill first thing then wait 30-60 minutes before eating because food affects the absorbtion rate. OP I was having thyroid issues and found a speciallist that helped me out a bunch. I will send you a link later with some info. He finally diagnosed my problem as not enough iodine in my diet. How mich iodine to you consume? If not bery mich look at kelp tablets, they are very cheap. He has me take 600-800 mcg/day of iodine. It cut my thyroid meds in half and i feel better. The way he found the issue was having me take my temp first thing upon waking nefore i got out of bed. It shound be 97.3 or higher. Then mid afternoon it should be at least 98.6 before exercise. If you are not reaching those temps check iodine. Edit OP also dont consume calcium, iron, high fiber food or coffee within an hour of taking the pill as it affects absorbtion. My doctor actually switch my medication at bedtime. Do some research on thyroid meds at bedtime. There are a bunch for research that shows it is better. Read them print them and discuss with your doc. |

Get a small, thick sided ceramic bowl. Melt a pat of butter in the bowl in the microwave (or use a dab of vegetable oil). Break two eggs in the bowl. Add a tiny bit of salt, and some fresh cracked pepper. Cover the bowl and nuke the eggs for about 1:20. If that is not enough, nuke a thick slice of lean ham to go with it. Dump the eggs on top of the ham. No carbs, medium fat, high protein. You won't get hungry before noon, and it takes less than 5 minutes. Oh, and get up earlier. Funny how you have more time that way.

I've been fighting this battle (and losing) for years but I did finally figure out a breakfast that works. I buy a 1 lbs package of the breakfast sausage that our grocer makes and form it into roughly 1/4 pound patties and then cook them. After they cool, they go in the fridge.
In the morning, I put some butter in a green ceramic skillet, heat it up, crack in two eggs, put on a lid and then get a sausage patty and nuke it for about 30 seconds. I then wait a few minutes for the eggs to finish and then just slide them right from the skillet to the plate and add the sausage patty. It might take 10-15 minutes but it does keep me satisfied until lunch. |

Chewing gum, caffeine, diet soda and/or artificially sweetened sports drinks, baby carrots. If you've already made the commitment to cutting calories, don't worry about all the dogmatic bullshit about what your macros should be. The biggest battle is creating the deficit... not on paper, but in your appetite. Use whatever method you want to curb hunger. You can adjust the make-up of your diet within the limits of your deficit once you've stuck it out for a few weeks or months.

i get to work at 7:30. eat lunch at 11.
the best combination for me to not be hungry in between. 3-4 eggs in the morning either hardboiled or scrambled etc + 3-4 turkey/ pork sausage when i don't have sausage i eat 2 slices of ezekiel break and butter/ strawberry jam + 2 scoops of Met RX protein and oats on the way out. |

I used to be able to suppress pretty much all hunger with Copenhagen. I'd eat dinner, and breakfast every other morning and be fine at work with just chew.
Decided that Copenhagen wasn't that healthy for me, so now I pretty much do the same thing with nicotine gum. Healthy? Probably not the best way to do it, but it has helped me loose about 30 pounds in the last 8 or 9 months. |

This is how I get through my day. I've been losing 1-2 pounds a week for the past 3 months while adding muscle and strength.
05:30 4 eggs (5 on lifting day) blended with ice water and 2 scoops gold standard chocolate whey. 1 cup of geek yogurt on side sometimes with fruit, add 1/4 oatmeal on lifting day. Off day 520 calories, 75ish grams protein, 10g carbs. lifting day 900-1000 calories, 90ish grams protein, 60ish g carbs 09:30 - can of tuna/chicken or protein bar. 100 calories 15g protein or 200 cals/20g protein 12:00 - 8oz meat with rice/pasta/spinach 400 calories, 50 grams protein. 45g carbs sometimes add in more tuna/protein bar/anything else if I'm still hungry 16:00 home from work. find roughly 200 calories/25 grams of protein from various stuff in the fridge. 20:00 home from gym protein shake 240 calories/50 grams protein 21:00 dinner. 8oz-12oz meat and rice/pasta/veggies. 600-1000 calories, 50-75g protein Off day: Roughly 1800 calories, 215 g protein, 100-125g carbs Lift day (4x a week) roughly 2500-3000 + calories, 285-310 protein, 150-200gr carbs. It's pretty basic. Off day, limit carbs, eat less. On day more carbs, more protein, more everything. I don't drink soda/energy drinks, I don't eat much fruit ever either and no junk like candy. When in doubt eat more protein and drink more water, some days you are just going to be hungry, you can throw in some cheat days but make sure you follow it up with some heavy deadlifts or something
Right now I'm #230, was #260 1/1/15. The first #20 came off in 8 weeks. I plateaued at #240 but started real training 12 weeks ago and have lost #10 more with out really trying, just lifting and trying to eat clean. |
