Trucker, are you having menstrual difficulties?

I am certainly no expert, but I tend to agree with simple calories in calories out theories. Make sure your overall intake of food is less than your output of energy and you will continue to lose. Make sure your eating right (and we can let the debate begin on those theories as well) and be satisfied. I know nothing about appetite suppressants, and won't even guess.

Have you tried Webmd or sites like that? Have you discussed this situation with your doctor or a registered dietician? No offense to anyone on this forum, but some professional advice might clarify things for you.

Oh, and "Have a happy period." (perhaps the dumbest ad catchline ever!!!!)

I'll preface this post with the admission that as a 50+BF fugitive, I've fought this battle for decades.

All those “eat less possum”, “eat more possum”, "drink more schnapps”, “drink less schnapps”, “exercise like a gazelle outrunning a cheetah”, and “meditate like the Buddha” plans, make me feel like I'm looking at broom handle in a Turkish prison while Nazis scream High German at me. The whole scene makes me hungry.

My theory is that we gain weight purely out of habit. Consider: We average blokes have easy access to the tastiest, highest calorie foods in huge abundance in all of history. We are bombarded 24-7 with imagery and advertisement that entice us to indulge in the Worst Foods Ever Poured into 55-Gallon Drums. To top it off, we have free time in abundance to contemplate the tyranny of our biological food urge. We fall into bad habits by simple cultural gravity.

In support of this theory, consider how much weight you lost on your last really active holiday, like cycling, backpacking, or even sight-seeing on foot. In addition to the physical activity, these activities often require a tight regimen of eating and make late night snacking a little more difficult. Personally, I invariably come home after an active week having lost six pounds and feeling really good. Folks, I've lost weight in Italy!!! (Mind you, it was an active holiday there.)

My personal conclusion is we need to Break the Cycle by taking a really active holiday and (this is critical) keeping up those habits on return.

A can of warmed up chicken broth, with some pepper sprinkled in works good for satisfying and keeping the hunger demon away at bedtime for me. A can is like 50 calories.

Last year I cut out simple carbs unless they were in fruit and kept my complex carbs at 40%. I found that eating more fat and protein kept me full longer.

I started eating dinner 2 hours before bed and it killed my late night cravings. Easier for me to not snack during the afternoon than at night.

@OP: I have found that if you eat the right things, you are able to keep the calories and the appetite down.
So for example for dinner I would measure 200 Cal of rice/pasta/potatoes, 150~200 Cal of lean meat (chicken or turkey breast,lean beef or fish) and add a good amount of vegetables. Together with some olive oil this gives a total of about 500 Cal that keeps you full for a long time. If you feel the need for a snack later on you can always get a piece of fruit or what also works nicely is nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashew) about 200 Cal of nuts and couple of glasses of water will keep your hunger down for a while.
