    have you tried eating more often but changing what you eat?

    your unlikely to put on weight eating plenty of leafy greens and fruit.

    A good ketogenic/low carb diet. They are famous for reducing appetite to the point where you have to remind yourself to eat. Cut out all the carbs except for lots of green veg and see what happens.

    On the keto diet, would you also cut out your porridge in the morning?

    Thanks/

    Normally no, but a study did find that people who ate a big breakfast with carbs like porridge, then low carb the rest of the day, lost almost as much weight as the pure low carb group. It's definitely an option for weight loss. However, if you want the hunger-curbing effect of a keto diet, I'd have eggs for breakfast (I love my mushroom omlettes) and do strict low carb for a couple of weeks. Once you have hunger and cravings under control, you can experiment with porridge for breakfast etc.
