    First, quit eating at a deficit. Your body thinks your starving and wants to hoard every last calorie. Make sure you have at least 5 servings of vegetables, 3 servings of fruit. AND make sure you have enough fiber, and drink 8 glasses of water a day.

    If OP wants to lose weight, some sort of deficit will be necessary.

    Chew sugar free gum when you have cravings but aren't really hungry.

    Starvation mode is a myth. If you're at a deficit, you will lose weight. Now, if you're at too much of a deficit for too long, you'll start losing muscle mass as your body starts converting everything for fuel, but you will still lose weight.

    You know, that never worked for me. Maybe because I don't crave sweets?

    Hi everybody!

    I am looking to loose some weight - I am about 81kg and 5ft 2, this puts my BMR at 1488 calories. I am eating in a 200 calorie deficit below this level, putting me at 1200 calories a day.

    I have been on and off on this for about a year, but am really looking to focus and loose some poundage.

    Anyway my question is, how do you stave off hunger when on a diet? I am feeling super hungry in the mornings and mid afternoon, and so far have refrained from snacking but I fear as this continues, I will only get weaker and cave.

    What can I do to minimize my hunger? What are your techniques?

    eat lol no serious i go for a walk or drink water

    It's natural for many people confuse thirst with hunger. I found this mini post really helpful... https://www.missouriwestern.edu/hr/wp-content/uploads/sites/254/2013/12/BCBS-Newsletter-September-2014.pdf br9zkwjhdkqo.jpeg

    I drink tea or water if I'm a little hungry otherwise I'll actually eat if able (I. E. At work and out of food I've brought then I'll wait until I'm home). But have a play around with you calorie goal of if your hungry all the time don't forget 0.25lbs or 0.5lb loss is still a loss and better than nothing.
