any ideas

Options
I am really struggling since yesterday. I am eating properly but all of a sudden I have that starving feeling. My body just won't get satisfied for some reason. I have been drinking lots of water to help but it is not. Any thoughts. Help!

    For some reason water just makes me feel really empty. I try to bring lots of snacks with me that I can munch on all day. Like

    Banana
    Apple
    Orange
    Grapes
    Strawberries

    They are all super low in Calories, so it doesn't hurt to eat them :)

    Hi,

    I drink approx 8-14 glasses of water per day and it does not curb my hunger. I drink before, during and after eating...same effect, nothing!
    I, too, am sometimes starving...I don't know why. I've read to have a cup of peppermint, oolong or green tea and that helps curb appetite. I've tried it, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
    The best answer I have and what I try to do is avoid it. Focus your mind on something else...read, exercise, play on computer, sleep, etc.

    I figure it must be psychological with the hunger, it's kind of like an addiction. Let's take drug/alcohol addicts...when they quit, it must be a gazillion times harder than what we are going thru. So, if they can do it, we can sure as hell do it right!!!

    HI,
    I had that same feeling yesterday and I found something that took that craving away. I had a tablespoon of peanut butter. It was very satisfying.
