    i'll probably end up eating candy or any leftovers in the fridge lol
  • Yea I agree with the nuts thing. They say to basically eat 5 meals a day: Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner. That way your body doesn't freak out and get super hungry (and you overeat). I did that for a while when I was on a diet simliar to the South Beach Diet (my doctor suggested it) ..and that really worked :) Plus, drinks lots of water! That way your body doesn't "store" the water ..which adds on the pounds!
  • There are a lot of mean comments on this post! So much for a place of support. :ohwell:
  • Fruit or veggies, they fill you up and you know you are being healthy.

    Those people don't represent this place as a whole, just focus on the good advice you got.
  • I DO go to the grocery store when I'm hungry. I look at fruits and veggies and think, "that looks so delicious!" Since I have a cart full of yummy food, I can pass up junk food.

    I'm really hungry everyday after my workout. I like a huge plate of quickly sautéed veggies, some grains if I have some cooked, and a fried egg. Or I like a tuna pouch and half an avocado.

    I just experienced a sudden wave of intense hunger...to the point of feeling shaky and wanting to throw up.
    (I was feeling a little hungry earlier, but just kept ignoring it.)

    I found this through Google, read through the thread, tried drinking a full glass of water, then ate a few pieces of sliced almonds, but stopped because it only made me feel worse.
    Usually, nuts keep me feeling full but right now, I knew it wouldn't work.

    I had some watermelon in the fridge, I cut off a portion (the size of my fist), cut it in 1 inch cubes, and a slice of cheese.
    It worked rapidly for me.

    It's close to bed time for me and I have an accountability system where I send pictures of everything that I eat to my doctor. I didn't want to startle him by sending a picture of something I'm not supposed to eat.

    The melon and cheese helped calmed my hunger a bit...
    I wanted to eat more, but it was satisfying enough....
    so I just drank some more water, but two huge gulps later, I couldn't stand drinking any more of that...
    so I drank some diet soda quickly. It did the trick.

    I don't feel hungry anymore.
