    There is already some great advice here, so I don't need to repeat that. The only other things I can think of are peppermint and ginger tea and candies. It helps calm my stomach and make me feel a little better almost anytime. Best of luck! Beautiful profile pic, by the way. :)

    I also suggest more fat throughout the day. I had similar problems before and switched to a keto type diet and now I'm hardly hungry and am noticing the scale move and I have more energy. Plus I almost never hit my calorie goal now because I don't feel the need to snack as often. Also remember that your brain may make you feel hungry when you're actually thirsty so maybe try drinking more water during that time or a glass of milk. I hope you find what works best for you. Good luck!

    Well I had a mushroom and ham omelette for lunch (2 eggs) with a sandwich thin and ham, 100g of cherry tomatoes followed by a bowl of fruit around an hour and half ago and now I feel really really hungry as if I haven't eaten. I just can't seem to get any balance. I've logged my dinner already and have 266 calories left and that's with increasing my calories up to a daily goal of 1460 and earning 103 from exercise. I guess I should eat something further, I just don't have a clue what!!

    Next time have some cheese, yogurt, or cottage cheese with your bowl of fruit.

    Right now, try some nuts (almond, walnuts, etc.). One ounce will have 160 to 200 calories, depending on type of nuts, so it fits within the calories you have left.

    A ketogenic diet is where you keep carbs below 50g per day so your body's main energy source becomes fat rather than glucose (sugar from carbs).

    Peter Attia has interseting blogs on it, and Jimmy Moore has a good introductory book called Keto Clarity.

    High fat low carb diet. I eat lots of meat, butter, milk, cheese, nuts, berries and as many veggies as I want. I avoid bread, rice, and potatoes. Feel free to friend me and look at my diary if you like. Of course everyone is different but you could always look into it and try it.

    Thanks. I've never tried low carb before so I will look into this.
    Thanks for the info

    Weight Watchers **wanted*** you to eat fats. It was in the formula! Been there. Back when it worked for me (I think 3 versions ago) my day started with 3 corn tortillas on which I smeared 1/4 cup homemade refried beans, and topped with 1 tablespoon per tort low fat shredded mozzarella. They are very filling, and stuffed with chopped lettuce and tomatoes gets you a good start on your veggies. Or have berries or apple. I still eat that almost every day(unless one of the girls in the backyard has left me an egg, which I use in place of the beans). I have to have protein to start my day. Oatmeal or other of the simpler carbs don't stick. At all!
    Another great WW friendly breakfast is a single egg omelet (real egg straight out of the shell not out of a milk carton) stuffed jam packed with sautéed mushrooms, steamed greens and some of that mozzarella. Maybe salsa. Seems incredibly decadent!

    I get nauseous hungry in the morning when I eat a lot of processed sugary carbs the night before, if I eat them in the morning I'm usually nauseous hungry before lunch so I limit my heaviest processed carbs till after 3 pm that way my hunger will coincide with my biggest meal, dinner, and won't effect my hunger in the morning.

    There are a lot of people in my family with diabetes including my mom so I have a theory that the sugar spike and subsequent insulin levels dramatically effect my hunger type. When I keep my sugary carbs down then I only get normal hunger signals, not the emergency "I'm gonna throw up" hunger. Vegetable carbs don't effect my hunger either so it's not all about the carbs, it's more about whether they are complex or simple carbs.

    Just to clarify I'm not on a low carb diet, I just limit mainly processed foods high in sugar like cakes, donuts, breakfast cereals, etc.

    I missed that. It's not in the OP, and she has almond milk with her oatmeal, so it's kind of weird to have a problem with nuts.

    I don't see where you stated your weight but with your 70 lb loss goal I can guess. I'm your height, close to your weight, probably 10 years older and don't have two kids to chase around. I lose on 1750 easily. You are hungry cause you aren't eating enough, even with an adjustment up to 1430.

    Yea it is weird. I will eat salted peanuts and pistachios but that's about it. Oddly I don't really like almonds but I like almond milk in my porridge.

    What can I say I'm an odd kind of girl!
