Konjac to curb hunger.

1200 cals is the bare minimum. How much weight do you have to lose, and how many lbs per week are you aiming for? Are you eating back exercise calories?

If you are genuinely hungry in the evening, and you just started eating at this level, it's possible you're simply not eating enough. If you have made a drastic change to your diet, it might be better off easing into the changes and giving your body a chance to get used to it.

Also make sure you are eating enough protein, fat, and fiber as some combo of these generally helps people feel satiated.

I use konjac and oat fiber both are 0 cal the oat fiber I do not like alone it has a powdery flavor /texture but with the konjac it smooths out and has the texture of jello that is just starting to set which I find pleasant , I make a smoothie , konjac is a fiber and it slows down digestion by jelling the liquid you take it with .I use it every day but it is important to make sure you have adequate liquid to make it work right and make sure you do not get constipated from over doing the fiber , I use Walmarts crystal lite it is called Great value orange early rise about 10 cal per 16 oz , I make a smoothie with 1/2 tsp konjack 3 Tbsp oat bran and the orange drink a few ice cubes then depending on what is on hand I add 1/2 banana 1/4 scoop vanilla protein powder . flax seed , chia seed , spinach . each day is different the smoothie is my sip between meals to keep me from eating junk food go to some times I have a second with just the orange drink the konjac and some fruit or veggies ( yesterday I tossed in the stems from makeing kale chips the day before ! ) the important thing is water suspend it in water so the gelling effect works to block hunger . all the other things add for fiber and vitamins . I am on a 1400 cal plan and I still get hungry if my fiber is not kept high . I started out using the konjac 1 tsp at a time ( it makes the drink too viscous) but it is better 1/2 tsp up to twice a day . and it will lump if you do not mix carefully so I use a nutribullet then there is never a lump .

When I require it I generally
Take it 30mins before my meal
With a lot of water

Okay, but you're really close to maintenance now and you might be running too aggressive a deficit. We're the same height and almost exactly the same weight. I found that 1240 (to lose 1lb/week the last time I recalculated) was just too low, so I reset my goal to 1/2-lb and I'm doing way better on 1450.
