I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how you get by the afternoon munchies. I do well until about 3:30 then I am looking for something to eat. But I do not feel hungry. I have always been this way even when I was in high school. I would get home from school and while supper was cooking I would look for something to eat and I am still doing in 10 years later. Any help would be great. Thanks!

    I get those too - sometimes right after I've eaten lunch. I usually guzzle water and if that doesn't do the trick, I grab a low-cal snack like fruit or boiled egg whites. The water usually nips it in the bud though.

    Craving are only supposed to last 20mins try doing something to distract you for that time or my sister keeps a jar of beetroot handy as its a super food so good for you. She has lost 2st and has kept it off, for 2yrs now so she's doing something right. Or have a look what you are eating for breakfast and lunch is it enough to sustain you through until dinner

    Try edamame (soy beans). They're super quick, easy, and yummy. I get mine at Costco, in a huge bag full of little bags that make it easy to cook just a little at a time. Very low cal, and healthy. That is the time of day when my sweet tooth rears it's ugly head, so I have to resist the urge to bake or something. Hot weather helps, because I hate turning on the oven when it's hot! But I have to steer clear of the candy aisle at the store too, or I end up with chocolate binges that I regret shortly after. I like the water suggestion, that's something I'm working on anyway, and if it helps with cravings, even better!
