What do people do to overcome hunger? When I do a big work out, like swimming or a long hike, I feel like eating a horse! And I'm cutting down on sugar...but it makes me just want to eat more. What are everyone's tips for keeping hunger at bay, especially after lots of exercise? Help!

To avoid over eating I drink something hot like tea or decaf coffee or broth. It curves the appetite. It works for me.0

and i also try to consume a good dose of protien. Either a boiled egg, a tuna packet, or even a protien shake0 -
Yes, protein seems to work well. I've eaten yoghurt straight after my walk today and it's kept the hunger at bay.
All hints and tips welcome :-)0 -
Could this offer any relief... (just a thought of mine)
Consuming your calories during seating of 3 meals could possible generate time windows where cravings or pains could occur...
I'm wondering if a foraging approach might prevent the craving/pains? Something like eating smaller amounts regularly throughout the day...
A second though... frozen grapes, frozen yogurt bar, gum or something like beef jerky?

I brew some black chai tea and add a little milk. the combination of the spices satisfies my hunger and I munch a couple of almonds.
don't use the chai tea powder, it's loaded with sugar. my fave is Stash black tea chia spice0 -
Hi Carl...yes I do eat smaller meals. Not the standard three. But the frozen grape idea is such a good one! I'm veggie so gum is also a good option. Thanks !0

Its all in the preparation.
I know Im going to be hungry at certain times of the day, so I make up some sin free slimming world munchiies the night before.
Slices of ham with fat free cheeses pread x4 on a plate in the fridge for when I come home from work.
I also make up 2 small containers of overnight oats.
30 mg of oats, dessert spoon of whey protein, 3 spoons of fat free yoghurt, vanilla and a splash of 1% milk. Mix it all together then divide into very small food containers and top with a different flavour of ff yoghurt.
Simples.
I normally have one for mid morning and another as part of lunch.
Hope that might help some of you.

Also, make sure that you are hydrating well. I have noticed that after a hard work out if i drink at least a bottle of water that my hunger stays at bay. As others have said, nuts or protein, and some say a complex carb will help fuel the body and aid w/ muscle recovery post work out. Although I have found that the hunger subsides when your body is moving and is used to the more intense work out. When I first started I starved post work out also...but that has mitigated quite a bit.0
