Or keeping something low cal around to snack on when hunger hits. Dry cereal, fresh berries, a slice of cheese, chew gum

For me, it works best to choose something that's not just low-cal but low-carb. Once I start eating something like dry cereal, I could go on and on -- especially this time of year.

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.

Oh, I know what you mean.....what works for me is measuring out what I want to eat, and then putting it away.

I'm sorry but my personal experience does not bear this out.

I should have added "your mileage may differ."
