Weightlifting is a useful adjunct to a well thought out diet as it encourages the body to retain muscle and drop fat.<p>Ideally you'd add in some decent lifting with free weights three times a week with the standard compound exercises (bench press, squats, deadlifts, overhead press and pullups/chins).<p>Additionally, as far as dealing with hunger there's a few things you can do:<p>1) Prepare a whole lot of salads and other calorically sparse things.  The volume of food will displace more energy rich foods.  One particularly easy implementation of this I've seen includes eating three apples each day.<p>2) You can stave off hunger by chewing ice chips or drinking water (even just chewing with an empty mouth seems to promote satiety).<p>3) Find more interesting distractions.  Often it's hard to avoid eating food because there's not much else around to occupy yourself with.  If you find something better/more interesting you can often go much longer without eating.
