Hey Bop,
You might want to try a veggi diet, you can eat more (if you avoid sugar and sweeteners) to get the "full" fealing without nearly as many calories. It tends to be cheaper and is better for you and the planet they say. Idk but I gradually took it up during my starving student days (also smoking

which may skew the results) and am still the same wieght as I was in highschool. Just a thought, good luck.
