    Hunger comes in waves. People will say that if you do this or that, it will go away in 20-30 minutes, but it will go away in 20-30 minutes if you do nothing.

    Just wait it out.

    If you have no access to food I am not sure what you want people to suggest??

    I HATE when that happens. I usually try to scrounge something up in the office. See if someone has a few veggies or grab a serving of pretzels that we have out for anyone to eat. Not a fan of pretzels (taste or nutrition) but I'd rather eat a little something if possible than go home "starving" and eat too much. Try drinking some water too. Or I always keep some sugar free gum at my desk for when I get the bored munchies.....

    Definitely drink water if you are able to, but another suggestion might be to keep as busy as possible. I'm not sure what kind of job you have, but I find if I'm on the slower side my thoughts often wander to food. Even busy work so that you're doing something to keep your mind off eating and from watching the clock! :)

    Usually if I have to wait to get food, then I will drink a lot of water, coffee or tea. That usually holds me off for a bit. I know sometimes we forget our lunch at home and it happens.

    Drink water and stay busy to keep your mind off of it.
