    try icewater with some crystal light hunger satisfaction (strawberry/bananna or peach rasberry). This provides more fiber to make you feel full, and very few calories.

    Best snacks I've found for dealing with the hungers: oatmeal (I keep packets at work), or a small handful of mixed nuts (I also keep a can at work).

    If you have just eaten and are sure you are not actually hungry, try water. Not because it is a diet trick. Thirst can manifest itself as hunger. We get a lot of water from the foods that we eat, so if you are thirsty your body may signal to you to eat more. A more water filled snack may work for you, or have your snack with extra water. I just ate my lunch, and my stomach is telling me to eat more, but I can almost guarantee that a cup of water will satisfy it. Food and water just go together.

    I sometimes do well with a small glass of V-8 and a low cal cheese stick.

    try chewing your food very slowly - 60 chews per bite! later, drink lots of water through the day - much of the times, hunger is just thirst in disguise
