    Diet soda in the afternoon for that sweet fix.

    Sugar free jello is a great 10 calorie treat when my hunger is more of a mental than physical thing

    Another vote for protein here- everyone’s different, but I’ve found that for me, protein helps satisfy me.
    I make sure I have protein in each of my 3 main meals, and I also have a snack with protein in the afternoon- often some Greek yoghurt or a hard boiled egg.
    I’m not hungry like I used to be when I first started this journey- I think it’s a combination of getting used to my new way of eating (staying in a deficit, weighing and logging everything etc) and incorporating protein.
    You just gotta find what work for you!

    If I'm feeling a little hungry and it's not time for a meal, I usually reach for an apple. It really takes care of my hunger for a few hours. It's a great snack.

    If Im really hungry, Ill take a nap. Weirdly enough, I always wake up with no hunger.

    My trick is I only eat at set times-11 am,3,6,&10 pm.My body is so used to this schedule now that I only really get hungry when it’s about time to eat - I do chew gum to ease stress or if I’m bored and I enjoy it( log the calories) and I’ll also have a diet pop or coffee in between meals-if I need a pick me up when I’m tired.

    If brushing your teeth helps with hunger... you're not actually hungry.

    I sometimes drink coffee just to get busy and have something in my stomach to delay a meal, but that doesn't help with hunger (water has never helped me either)

    I wake up STARVING from naps.

    But yes, staying busy is key, even if you're hungry, if you're busy, it's easier to ignore.
