It's a hard thing for me to keep up for months at a time.

Right now my basic strategy has been to try to eliminate excessive sugars, which seems to have evened out my hunger signals (ie. I don't get ravenously hungry by 11:00), and just trying to be a little hungry for most of the day. So far I think it's a workable strategy for the long-term. If I can lose 1 lb a week, I'll be in good shape by June-ish.
