Anybody got any ideas or tactics to share for dealing with feelings of hunger?
Hunger pangs are great, Jeff! That's one way you know you are really making progress when you feel that wonderful emptiness! But, if you have hunger pangs at an inappropriate time or if they wake you up at night, you need to change your diet slightly. Eat more frequent smaller meals. Alternatively, eat a little fewer carbs, which are digested most quickly, and a little more protein. Add a little more fat to your main meal, not saturated fat, but perhaps a little flaxseed or olive oil mixed in.
I'm assuming you're talking about hunger pangs in your stomach, not cravings, which is a whole 'nother thing.
