Hi
Does anyone else do this, when I'm at my desk and I'm feeling peckish, do you have a cup of tea?
It makes me feel fuller, stops me snacking and as i have to wait ages for it to cool down so its drinkable kills some time
it seems to work for me and just thought i'd see if i was the only one :drinker:

I think any kind of fluids can do that. Often, your brain confuses thirst for hunger and you think you need to eat something when really, all you need is a drink. If I know I've had enough to eat, I like to drink a glass of water and wait a while to see if the 'hunger' goes away. If it doesn't, I really was hungry and I eat something but more often than not, I'm just dehydrated.0

Sometimes it helps but at other times it has me running to the biscuit tin!!! I actually find miso soup (which is hardly any calories) seems more satisfying. Maybe it's because it's savoury?0

Yep - mine is either a green tea or a peppermint tea - so zero cals too!!
And if the sugar cravings come mid afternoon a Coke Zero hits the spot most of the time!!0 -

I used to do Miso Soup - but dang - that sodium bomb makes me run a mile from it now......0 -

I love tea. Usually have at least 2 cups a day. No sugar or milk, so no worries0

I've just managed to cut back on my sugar. i use to have two in each cup! and for ages i refused to change but now have sweetner
I love a cup of tea, and it really seems to help with my cravings. unless when i go to make one in the office kitchen and theres biscuits there, then its a disaster0 -
Tea solves everything! I use a splenda and milk, I used to use sugar until switching, and I did that because I didn't want to give up tea! Being in the States you can only get proper biscuits from specialty stores so I don't always have them to tempt me, when I do I stick them in the freezer both to keep them fresh and to keep me from eating them anytime I want0
