    Water really helps! Sometimes we think we are hungry but its actually thirst!!
    Snacks high is protein and fiber help too! i.e. greek yogurts, hard boiled eggs, string cheese, nuts!

    Just took a quick look at your diary... only peeked at a few days, so my recs might be off. Eat more fiber (whole grains) and more fresh fruits and veggies.
    Drink wayyyyy less alcohol.
    Fiber will help fill you up and keep you fill (might want to pair with a lean protein, too), and alcohol has tons of calories in it. Drink less, no calories.

    I agree with all that was said before. Something that helps me is gum and hard candy. It's way fewer calories than some of the other things I might snack on.

    ETA: popcorn, especially air popped - high in fiber and low in calories, also makes a nice snack.

    Your calories are set way too low. You are destined to kill metabolism at that rate. Judging by your picture you look to be about 5'6" probably about 140-150lbs?

    fibre and protein. if im really hungry and dont want to eat crap i usually boil a couple of eggs which fills me up.

    If your eating cos your bored... take up a hobbie, or exercise, or do something to distract yourself.

    if your still hungry then you may be ready for you next meal x

    WATER!! I used to not drink water at all but I keep a bottle on my desk and just sip it through out the day. It is easy to get in 6-8 glasses a day doing that.

    Brush your teeth right after eating... It sends a message to your brain that you are done eating for the day.

    Also, drink, drink, drink water! :)

    I grab water and set a timer for 20 mintues. By the time the timer goes off 90% of the time the craving passes. I also result to gum or brushing my teeth. Once I have that fresh minty feeling on my teeth I tend to stay away from eating then time has passes again!

    Warm tea ( not loaded with sugar), Take a walk or some form of movement to get your mind off it., Read, Water, Log on here and start posting. I have read that if you don't give into it it should pass within 4 min. If you are still struggling, eat some salad or egg white omelets with veggies ( tomato, spinach, peppers, onions) they are very low in cal and the protein will help. Dr Oz says a handful of nuts or a tbls of peanut butter. I don't want to get into the great carb debate but for me, Cutting white carbs help big time.

    water before i eat a meal helps to fill me up. also, v8 splash, the diet one, is opnly 10 calories in 8 oz of juice... very very low sugar, no fat, and it taste awesome... i drink 16 oz of that, and i feel pretty full afterwards!!! coffe also helps make me not too hungry, and green tea not only gives you a fuller feeling, but is very healthy and a natural form of assisting weight loss!

    I drink A LOT of water every day, and a 32oz bottle of G2 every other day. I am taking Healthe Trim (not advocating or promoting in any way, just stating what I do) and it TOTALLY curbs my appetite. I used to snack all day, then sit down at night and continue snacking. Now... I do not need, or remember, to snack at any point day or night. My energy level is through the roof and I have NO jitters or shakes. It works for me, just letting you know.

    i also try to add the odorless, tastless fiber to every drink i have, wether it be water, juice, coffee, tea... it does not do anything to the taste or texture of your drink. that really helps you feel fuller, and also keeps you "regular" if you know what i mean!
