    No magic solution but drinking water really helps.

    I've been studying nutrition and body building for a few years. In school to be a nutritionist/personal trainer. Feel free to add me if you have any questions about anything. If I don't have an answer already available, I'll find out for you as soon as I can. It'll help me too because I'll learn more by helping :)

    oh dear

    One way of overcoming this is the treat your body as if you were a baby again. That is to eat 4 hourly and not between. ie; 9am, 1pm, 5pm and the 9pm. Once you have eaten it's imperative to use distraction techniques until the next meal time. You can tell youself it's only 2 hours until the next meal and that you can wait. Speak to your body and take charge. Once you have trained your body, which may take a couple of weeks, then it will not crave food until the right time. How much you eat then is important too. I am not an expert btw but my mother-in-law developed a theory that we have lost the ability to discaplin our bodies. Babies naturally go 4 hours and we train ourselves out of this and into snacking habits. They are habits because it's not how it would be in nature. You could try it for a week and see how you get on, then extend it to another week. She was slim, but ate really well at meal times, so I think she had a point. We always knew what time it was by her stomach too, lol. (all the best)

    It's not going to be easy at first. Nothing comes without a little sacrifice. Just think of how you used to eat even though you weren't even hungry and where that got you. That should be motivation.

    I agree. I need to lose 3kg and am hungry but it's OK as I can lose it quickly. The problem I have is that being of South Asian heritage any fat build up is round my tummy which is dangerous.

    I feel your pain im dominican but i wasn't blessed with the genes of my mother unfortunately i gain weight around my belly and not the other places ...

    What is your calorie goal set to?

    Most people are hungry because they've set their goal too low. Unless you have a lot of weight to lose, 0.5 to 1 lb per week loss is a sensible goal for most people.

    My goal is 1200 calories per day though im not sure if its too low of a goal or too high ?

    there you go. is that to lose 2lb per week?

    try eating more fat and protein to keep you full.

    Yup , so fat and protein got it !
