I’m hearing a lot of:
I’m hungry what do I do?
I follow WW so I try to eat as many “filling foods” (lots of fruits and veggies) or zero point foods as I can. I always have a baggie of veggies on hand for when I do get hungry. I also eat a lot of whole grain breads because they take longer to digest and will make me feel full longer. I would never make it on Atkins.. my body needs carbs to feel full. I cannot make it on salad alone. Something else that I do is ‘eat all day long’. Don’t forget to eat breakfast. Also, I eat a lot of high fiber foods. My oatmeal has 9-10 grams of fiber.
My day typically looks like this:
7:30Car ride to work – box of raisins
At my desk before bus duty or the bell – oatmeal and yogurt and fruit OR cereal with yogurt and a fruit
About 10:15 -bag of veggies
11:30ish – lunch
3:30 – apple in the car ride home
5:00 – dinner
7:30 – bag of low fat popcorn
9:00 - something sweet (1 pt sweet snack)

If you have trick that works when you feel hungry, post a comment.
i recommend planning ahead! at work, it's very easy to get tempted with donuts or brownies or whatever, but if you have YOUR selected snack on hand, then it's easier to resist. i bring a week's worth of fiber one fiber bars (i like the oats and strawberry ones the best) to work with me on monday, and i allow myself one a day. they're sweet, like a candy bar, but they help to fill me up mid-morning before lunch. i also bring a bunch of veggies and throw them in the fridge at lunch on monday morning, so i have them ready all week. on the days when i don't have my snacks, i get so hungry before lunch i tend to gorge.
