CARBS

You have to find things that are good for you.   A lot of people avoid carbs - grains because eating them make them crave more and more. 
I am one of those people. My body processes the carbs in grains differently that someone else might.
Carbs will cause ea spike in my blood sugar, making it high. Then my insulin will kick in, and too much of it, so my blood sugar will drop like crazy, making me so..so hungry... that I have to eat again, and I have to eat carbs.  It took me 2 years to learn how mu body react to different carbs. Which one I can eat and which I need to avoid like there are a poison to me.

If eating carbs makes you want more carbs, and makes you hungry - then those carbs affect you like they did me.   So maybe you can revise how you getting you carbs,

i.e. some fruits makes me really hungry, but some - like berries - not so much. 
Milk, bread, pasta, etc, - makes my blood sugar fluctuate so badly - that the only way to avoid that is to avoid that foods. 

Thats why it si so importnat to keep journal and report what you eat - and report any reaction you are getting from the food.  That's how you learn what is good for YOU and Only YOU.

I can only second what some of the others have said about needing to find balance and find what works for you and then tell you what I believe and what works for ME. 

Carbs are NOT intrinsically evil... your body NEEDS them and was designed to UTILIZE them... but not all carbs are created euqal (any more than all calories are created equal... your body gets a lot more nutrition from 250 calories of grilled chicken than it gets from 250 calories of chocolate).  There is a BIG difference between eating fresh fruits and vegetables and in eating a lot of refined white flour products like pasta or pretzels or crackers.  All of them are carbs, but clearly the fruits and veggies are better for your body because they offer fiber and nutrients that a plate of spaghetti or a handful of pretzels don't. Part of the reason that some people have so much trouble with constipation is that they don't get enough fiber because they refuse to eat the fruits and veggies because they want to keep the carbs down to some extremely low number. 

I am an "everything in moderation" person. I try to avoid the "white" carbs (but still occasionally eat some pretzels wbhile watching a movie or a ballgame), but allow myself a reasonable amount of any fruit or veggie or whole grain that I want.  I do not have cookies other than RF Nilla Wafers in the house EVER, however, because I have no self control with them... but I still occasionally eat pizza (only 2 bites with the crust, then I pull the toppings off and just eat those) and full fat ice cream (1/4-1/2 C only).  Since, if I really want something, I eat it (just in a smaller amount), I do NOT feel as if I am on a diet.  I will be 4 years out next week, and it took me 20 months to get all 185 pounds off (my rate of loss dropped drastically after a year and it took forever to get the last 30 pounds off), but I am maintaining my weight at 5-7 pounds over my goal weight (and with only a minimal amount of physical activity)... so the way I am eating works for me.
