You can cut down on carbs, but don't cut them out altogether. You need to eat things such as porridge, potatoe and some rice. These are complex and slow release carbs, so they even out your blood sugar during the day and by doing this, you will get less hungry if you blood sugar remains stable.

Also, the secret is also to eat little and often, rather than eating a lot at one sitting. If you eat a lot at one sitting, then this promotes a higher insulin production and a quicker dip in blood sugar. Have lots of little low fat snack during the day of fruit or cereal bars to help keep your blood sugar up. Even something like a banana sandwich and fruit would be good. This will fill you up for longer.

You could look at the amount of fat that you consume and try and cut down on this, but you just need to be eating a good healthy and well balanced diet with plenty of fish, chicken, fruit and veg, with some carbs to keep your blood sugar stable. Also, try and eat less and ensure that you get some kind of aerobic exercise for at least 30 mins three times a week. To lose weight, you need to take in less energy than you expend.

Hope this helps?
