    I have this cycle that helps:

    I get hungry

    I eat

    repeat

    For me it's fat. All of the meat and vegetables/fibre in the world won't satiate my appetite if I don't have fat with them. The only exception to that is soup or broth -- I have no idea why 5 or 10 calories of broth will suppress my appetite when a gallon of water won't do a thing but it does. Go figure.

    I do almost all the ideas suggested but one thing I do that hasn't been mentioned is chew gum, sometimes I am not really hungry and just the act of chewing subsides those hunger feelings.

    I decided that sometimes, I'm just flat out going to be hungry, and I need to come to grips with it. I realized that being hungry doesn't kill me. At least not yet.

    I typically eat 3 regular meals (about 300-ish calories each) and 3 regular snacks (about 100-ish calories each) to get me through the day. Being hungry isn't usually a problem for long, because my next snack/meal is never really that far away. That being said, I have not had my mid-morning snack (or breakfast, lol, I just realized) yet today, and it's only 20 minutes to lunchtime. I've been hungry for about 2 hours, but it's been okay. I'll wait til lunch today to eat.

    Note: there are times of day I can handle being hungry more than others. Usually, daytime hunger like I have now is no problem. But evening/nightime is much more difficult for me to handle. That's why I tend to hold my calories to eat later in the day.

    Drinking hot tea, nothing added. Or just hot water with lemon. I find that most of the time I am not even hungry, just either thirsty or bored.

    Protein and water....having veggies for snacks too will help to fill you up, so you don't end up feeling so hungry then possibly overeating.
