It's a genetic propensity to higher hunger drives.
The cure will probably be something that blocks the effects of ghrelin, which would actually be able to stunt appetite and therefore reduce your caloric intake. Ghrelin mimetics cause the opposite effect and make you absolutely stuff your face (e.g. GHRP-6).
Creating a 500 calorie deficit with exercise alone is very difficult. Often approaching 45 mins to an hour of steady state cardio or the StairMaster. You're talking running about 5 miles. For me this is hard and I will be panting.
Killing appetite is at first best handled by food choices but then later even with low calorie dense foods it becomes torturous. Supplements like sibutramine are helpful then. Stimulants work but you're awake for longer and tend to overeat when the effects wear off as if to compensate. I used to weigh 240 lbs untrained and am 162 rn, but every member of my family on both sides is morbidly obese and I have a similar drive and preoccupation with eating.
Sleeping aids are the best tool overall. You're not eating while you're asleep. Knocking yourself out for 12 hours when you're starving near bedtime is just about the best way to restrict calories.
