Dieting shouldn't mean ignoring actual hunger - moreover if you are serious about losing weight and KEEPING IT OFF in the long term you need to get your approach correct.
Get this "how many pounds can i lose in a week" mantraout of your head. This on its own doesn't correlate with long term weight loss and isn't the right factor to base your success on.
Learning how to eat with control - being mindful of portion sizes, choosing mainly good quality food groups, allowing yourself some deliberate flexbility and sticking with this week in week out - should be your focus.
Where is a good place to start with all of this? Putting consistent effort into your food shopping, meal preparation and cooking is a good idea.
