    If I'm feeling faint then my blood sugar has taken a nosedive, which is extremely rare, and I'll eat something. Usually a small piece of candy will take care of it, but if I feel I need more, I'll eat more.

    Otherwise, I'll try something hot to drink. That'll usually quiet hunger pangs enough that I can get to sleep. If not, eating a couple of cornichons often will do it. As a last resort, I've heated a single serving of vegetable broth and had that. Between the taste of watered down celery and garlic in the brand I had in the pantry (and won't be buying again, yuck), any appetite I might have had is just killed.

    Make a warm cup of green tea, not adding any sugar or milk. Calms me down and takes a while to drink. I also start to look forward to the next time I am going to weigh myself, because then I've probably lost some :stuck_out_tongue:
    Maybe also plan and look forward to what I am going to eat the next day for breakfast, or go outside for a walk.
    Us humans have a tendency to confuse different feelings as hunger. Maybe you are just tired and need sleep? Maybe bored? Maybe thirsty?
    I think it is important to try and keep oneself busy so you don't have time to think so much about it.

    Eat something. Your body is telling you what it needs, don't ignore it or deprive it! Don't go overboard and make a plate of nachos, but try some veggies and lean protein. Drink some water with it. I promise veggies aren't what causes weight gain.

    I'd have a handful of almonds. One oz and the natural fat in nuts should cut whatever hunger pains there are, and last you until morning.

    ...If Im still a bit starved but I have no active obligations for the rest of the night, I'll have a couple cookies or a glass of bourbon.

    That's one way to stop the growl!! Love it! :tongue:

    I will go for a run to earn more calories to eat. Most of the time the run kills my appetite but if I'm still hungry when I cool down, I can eat.

    Half an hour of resistance band work, kettlebells or core and have a protein shake...

    i drink water but if it doesn't help and is stopping me getting to sleep I'll have a tsp of pb as apparently it helps you burn calories over night, it used to be an apple but i've seriously gone off apples for some reason :/

    I like to think tummy rumbles = the sound of fat cells dying. :wink:

    Drink water, and see if I'm still hungry. If so, then I eat. Oh well, going over 1 day will not halt my weight loss forever. Actually, that one time probably won't make any difference at all.

    This has never happened to me but if it did and I didn't really have any calories left for the day, I would eat some celery or lettuce as they are healthy and have little calories. Spritz some lemon juice and sprinkle seasonings on them. Or eat a pickle or two ... in the scheme of things, a few pickle slices or small whole pickle would not jeopardize your diet progress.

    It doesn't happen often with me, but I usually just have a glass of milk or maybe a little turkey.

    No matter my calories, I would listen to my body and have some food
