I've lost 4 lbs in 12 days. I'm trying a new trick. I've set meal times and 2 snack times for every day. I have breakfast 300 - 400 calories then 2-3 hrs later I have an apple or an orange. I take a 300-400 calorie lunch to work and follow it up with another 100 cal snack and a 400 -500 cal dinner plus 12 oz of wine which I sip through the evening with water. I use a low cal coffee creamer at breakfast only. My one coffee at work is back. I am now reaching the point where I am only getting hungry at set times. I,m averaging 1550 cals per day on a sedentary (office) lifestyle for a 58 yr old male. By controlling portion size and eating foods that take a while to digest, I don't get that blood sugar yoyo effect that can lead to a pig-out! That's my theory, so far. I'll update this, pro or con, in a month or so.
