I can't take it anymore...

Honestly, if you want my take, just try eating smaller portions more frequently... honestly, skipping everything after 5 PM isn't going to do squat for you. It’s really about *what* you put on your plate—stick to lean proteins like chicken, turkey, or a nice lean cut of beef or pork... and I'd say just cut way back on the carbs, maybe even nix them entirely
Your whole diet should basically revolve around protein—think of it as a high-protein lifestyle... because if you aren't burning off those carbs through movement, they're just gonna sit there and make you gain weight (so get moving! walk, run, hit the gym, go cycling, rollerblade, whatever! just get up from that couch and chair!)
Instead of trying to cram three big meals in before 5 PM, I’d totally spread things out into five smaller meals until about 8 PM... the trick is not to overstuff yourself, or rather, keeping your meals light but frequent so your body stays fueled and gets all the nutrients it needs
Steer clear of greasy foods, sugar, and pretty much any other heavy carbs (except fruit!), so maybe skip the potatoes... and most importantly—you've gotta move your body!!!!
You have to tailor your diet to how you actually live; if you're super active and constantly on the go, you can eat more since you're burning it all off... but if you're more of a homebody, you've gotta scale back the intake, otherwise it just builds up and stays on you
Take my boyfriend, for example—the guy can polish off two chocolate bars a day... and he always makes sure to have half a pizza at least once a day! He eats everything and he eats A LOT... but he's built like an athlete and is strong as an ox! The secret is he runs, hits the weights occasionally, and goes cycling... he'll go for a 1-2 hour run every other day, and we go biking on the weekends.
Just get moving!
It’s simple logic, really—if you don't drive your car, you don't burn gas... it's just common sense!
