A delicious cheeseburger lol. Just kidding, usually a piece of fruit, pbj,oatmeal or cereal. That usually does the job0

First, I usually drink down a bottle of water. Then I will reach for a piece of fruit, or carrot sticks, or nuts. After I have let this settle down then I will know if I was just dehydrated and really thirsty, or just needed a small snack, or if my body really is telling me that it is way hungry and I need to eat something more substantial as well.0

Food.
When I'm really hungry, I eat food.0 -
Wow, a lot of mean answers to this questions! Maybe she doesnt understand...I know I dont understand "starvation mode" There are LOTS of days when I complete my food journal it tells me I have not consumed enough calories and my body may enter starvation mode. This is very hard for me to understand! I am FAR from starving! I eat close to 1200 calories, butI am hitting the gym two times a day and it tell me to replenish the calories I burn! I am NOT going to do that...maybe I should eat more, but im satisfied.
As far as what do I reach for when I really hungry?....I drink some water and eat which ever meal I am suppose to. I am trying very hard to make healthy choices. If I am in the car and not able to eat a small meal I grab an apple or a grapefruit! If im very hungry it doesnt take much to satisfy me. Hope that helps After all we are all here for the same general reason. SUPPORT!
Feel free to add me if you want, I like to think of myself as a positive person0 -
I like to chew my own toenails when I get that hungry.
Haha! You must be fairly flexible to contort yourself enough to get your mouth to your toes...
I like to eat what is stored in my cheeks or between my teeth when I get really hungry. It saves on packing snacks for the day.0 -
Like if you waited too long to eat and you're in starvation mode and you just KNOW your body is gonna store whatever you put in your mouth..?
that's just wrong, one time I was like really, really hungry and I forgot to eat my sugar smacks before I went to work and *BAM* right there at like 9:15, I went into starvation mode. It hurt like hell! Then I just got scared and so I ate a twinkie and then I felt better. But it was dicey there for a minute. Oh, and now what am I gonna do if I the twinkie company goes out of business. I mean, I've tried moonpies before and it didn't bring me out of starvation mode, I just sat there starving with moonpie all over my face, it only seems to be a twinkie that does it.0 -
For me, it is a big spoon of peanut butter!!! 2 Tbsp=190 calories0

If I've eaten all my calories, I wait until morning.
Otherwise, I'll usually eat an orange or an apple or banana.0 -
Try having a large glass of cold water and a banana, which seems to satisfy me while i'm preparing my meal0

I usually eat tuna! or something with some protein in it.0

Yea I agree with the nuts thing. They say to basically eat 5 meals a day: Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner. That way your body doesn't freak out and get super hungry (and you overeat). I did that for a while when I was on a diet simliar to the South Beach Diet (my doctor suggested it) ..and that really worked Plus, drinks lots of water! That way your body doesn't "store" the water ..which adds on the pounds!0

Fruit or veggies, they fill you up and you know you are being healthy.0

I DO go to the grocery store when I'm hungry. I look at fruits and veggies and think, "that looks so delicious!" Since I have a cart full of yummy food, I can pass up junk food.0

I'm really hungry everyday after my workout. I like a huge plate of quickly sautéed veggies, some grains if I have some cooked, and a fried egg. Or I like a tuna pouch and half an avocado.0

I just experienced a sudden wave of intense hunger...to the point of feeling shaky and wanting to throw up.
(I was feeling a little hungry earlier, but just kept ignoring it.)
I found this through Google, read through the thread, tried drinking a full glass of water, then ate a few pieces of sliced almonds, but stopped because it only made me feel worse.
Usually, nuts keep me feeling full but right now, I knew it wouldn't work.
I had some watermelon in the fridge, I cut off a portion (the size of my fist), cut it in 1 inch cubes, and a slice of cheese.
It worked rapidly for me.
It's close to bed time for me and I have an accountability system where I send pictures of everything that I eat to my doctor. I didn't want to startle him by sending a picture of something I'm not supposed to eat.
The melon and cheese helped calmed my hunger a bit...
I wanted to eat more, but it was satisfying enough....
so I just drank some more water, but two huge gulps later, I couldn't stand drinking any more of that...
so I drank some diet soda quickly. It did the trick.
I don't feel hungry anymore.0
