    Read your food labels and try to avoid foods with high fructose corn syrup as much as possible. After reading about how the body processes it, I started cutting it out as much as possible. (That was in July.) I have been a lot less hungry since then, which leads to less snacking between meals, and I have lost 14 pounds just since making that one adjustment to what I was already doing.

    Make sure most of your choices are lower in calories. And space them out throughout the day. For instance, I often want more food when I finish my lunch. But I know I'll still be even more hungry later in the afternoon. So I hold off on a dessert or snack at lunch, and have that same snack at about 3 or 4.

    Also, decaff coffe or hot tea really makes me feel fuller. Or diet soda if it is hot.

    If I really have to eat, and need a low cal alternative, then carrots, grape tomatoes, and popcorn work wonders.

    I know that we eat dinner late, and I like a larger dinner, so I compensate by having smaller breakfast an lunch, too.

    sometimes i feel like a ravenous lion presented with a injured baby gazelle. my "secret" was just buying a regular chocolate protein powder (not one of those crazy ones for working out or anything, just a basic protein powder) and putting a table spoon on my coffee. it worked WONDERS for my crazy hunger attacks. i used to use it twice every day, but now i'm down to once a day.

    hopefully you'll find what works for you! GOOD LUCK!!

    To deal with cravings try guzzling 20 oz of water or soda. That will fill you up.
    If you are hungry for nutrients(not emotional eating) then fit in more exercise.

    What keeps my hunger in control I eat something every 2 to 3 hours healthy snacks I have noticed if I wait for long periods I am extremely hungry and start to graze over everything.

    I eat multiple small meals throughout the day and drink plenty of water. If I miss a meal, my body can tell. At first the body has to adjust but it gets better with time.
