Since this could become a more serious medical issue, I really suggest talking to your doctor about what you should eat and having your plans approved. With that said, I think you can address hunger by drinking more water and tea, and make sure your nutrition goals are met via small meals and snacks throughout the day.…

I also weigh way more than I look. I'm 5'4'' and I gained 30 lbs since last summer but even my own family always says I look the same as before. I went all the way from normal to the upper end of overweight, but I'll admit I basically look the same in most pictures.

I'm also trying to lose weight I gained during the school year. I think the best thing is to set up your habits over the summer so you're losing 1-2 lbs per week, and then once it's a habit to eat at that # of calories and work out a certain amount per week that works for you, you can continue it during the school year in…

I'm 21 and trying to lose 40 lbs (getting back to my 15 year old body is my ultimate goal!!) by.. whenever I can. I'm also trying to lose 2 lbs per week but my actual results show more like 1 lb/week right now. Add me!

I have a habit of saving the half-gallon container that used to be iced tea from the grocery store, and it's super convenient to carry around. I just fill that with water when I'm doing anything (chores, studying, at work) and it's become a habit to drink it. Of course, be prepared to pee a lot.. I probably drink around 3…

I haven't done actual intermittent fasting, but I've been using intermittent fasting plans when I need to fast during Ramadan. It actually worked pretty well for me, and I lost around 7 lbs in a month. Someone I work with has tried IF for diet purposes and she said that drinking green tea or herbal tea made it so she…

Sounds like my life lol I also gained 27 lbs in the past semester and am looking to lose it asap

Daily with fluctuations, but I pay attention to how the weekly averages are changing.

This is long, hope no one takes it the wrong way. It's just my personal experience and my friends' experience since I'm the same age as OP. I go to a competitive college where almost everyone has overloaded schedules and extracurriculars that last until midnight at least, but most people still find time to go to the gym at…

Thanks everyone for the help! I'll be looking into stocking up on what everyone mentioned.

I have an apartment with a kitchen, I live near a grocery store and convenience store, and I'm not on a meal plan. Last year I had a kitchen too but I ended up becoming really dependent on the microwave and caved to order food a lot more than I should. I'd like to avoid that by learning quicker recipes--does anyone have…

I quit soda completely and only drank water for a few years. Then I found out I really love tea. It's a lot easier to avoid soda now because I don't even want to drink it--I'd rather try a new herbal tea or infused water. Try and find something else that's good for you that you love even more than soda. I get pretty bad…

I think you should plan around your existing lifestyle, focusing on making your eating habits easy to stick to but compatible with your body. I personally switch between modified intermittent fasting when I'm in school and eating 4 times per day when I'm on break. My intermittent fasting foods: Dinner: some combo of…

I take Zyrtec as needed and I usually feel more sleepy and less hungry on it, so I end up eating less.
