One of the things that happens when I go to the gym while restricting calorie intake to heavy protien and high fiber is that my body is forced to burn glucose and fat because when I finally get to running and cycling from my afternoon lunch, there isn't much left to draw on. I'll run for about 30 or so minutes, and then bike for about an hour.
Once I get home I have to force myself to shower and calm down before eating, but once I get to eating its like turbo charged fork to the face. Subconsciously my body is craving food so badly it speeds up intake. It doesn't take much to satisfy though, for example a bunch of water, a can of tuna, some mayo, mushrooms, slap it into a sandwich and I'm totally fine now. But at that moment, holy crap.
I'm trying an experiment... 2 actually. One is to cut out most refined and processed carbs out of my diet. I'm also trying to get rid of any sodium spikes too. I read that insulin tolerances in bigger people need to be controlled pretty harshly for us to drop weight. Sodium is just terrible either way you slice it. So right now the only carbs I'm getting are from vegetable juices.
The book said try it for 2 weeks and see if you get rid of some of the symptoms of carb intolerance, as well as sensitivity to sodium. Bot of which are things I crave all the time. Which is pretty much the first symptom he lists. Still craving it, but there are other symptoms like hard crashes in the afternoon, feeling lazy all the time, headaches, and such. These I do get, no headaches since starting, and I have more energy in the afternoon.
Clean diet works.
Experiment 2, Cooling BAT around the nape of your neck. I read that cooling brown adipose tissue actually increases thermogenisis in your body which in turn also burns fat. While I'm not all for kook science, after reading up on it a bit, it does make sense. It also gives me a reason to throw an ice pack on the back of my neck. Which is kinda nice in its own right anyway.

Anyway, as of tonights pre gym weigh in it was 265, we'll see if that sticks.
