You should separate out the need to spend willpower to limit superstimula foods, with that required to reduce your total caloric consumption to where you are always hungry. Any sane eating plan for humans requires the former, whereas a diet requiring the latter is probably doomed to fail.
{Edited in response to below.}
Reasonable, but a fair number of people seem to be able to eat at least some superstimulus foods in moderation, and it might be more sensible to include the possibility of limiting superstimuli rather than eliminating them.
Agreed and edited.
I've never had a problem with weight loss, but on reading on the issue, one insight I've gained is that if you are always hungry on a diet that maintains a healty weight, that is strong evidence that something is misaligned hormonally, be it due to food you are now eating, genetics, some past syndrome developed by diet or exercise, etc.
