Eating more frequently will keep you from getting too hungry.

So Start moving. Skip TV and the computer and take anywhere form 15 to 30 minutes a day to walk. Grab your MP3 or buy one for 50 bucks. Walk around the block and listen to your favorite tunes. If it’s raining or snowing, walk around the house or just walk in place. Then, slowly rid your house of the junk food and substitute fruit, veggies, and nuts. Eat a healthy breakfast and try not to snack. Once again, there is no simple cure or way to beat the system. If you don’t do this, you will live a shortened life. It’s just about guaranteed, regardless of your genes. This is your body and your only shot at life.
