I think the most important things you can do are to limit carbs and especially sugar and instead get satisfied with more fat and protein. A lower-carb diet helps keep insulin levels lower, which also reduces cravings and leads to less binge eating. If you are fighting hunger all the time that's a losing battle. It depends too much on will-power, which just can't be sustained.

I lost 60 lbs. with lower-carb eating and I like it because it doesn't require calorie counting and I eat until I'm satisfied. I've written a bunch of blog posts about it, and they're linked from this page where I suggest how I would do it if I were starting over again. Maybe you'll find it helpful as several of my friends have http://social-media-university-global.org/bodybabysteps-2/
