Try eating a lot of lettuce or spinach! perhaps with some lemon and salt you would like it :)  

Oh I get that way all the time, what I find out that helps a lot is to boil some water and put some bullion in it and drink that. Now the sodium is high but it sure does cure those hunger urges when you get them.  

Awesome! Means your metabolism is revved. Feed the machine and use that energy to train hard :)  

Careful with those breakfast cereals. I can't seem to find their specific Glycemic index (GI) but breakfast cereals are usually way up there in the insulin spiking territory. Also don't eat too many raisins. They have a GI of 64! In enough quantity, they will also spike your insulin. Mcdonalds foods most likely have sugar in their sauce and the bread itself is high GI (more insulin spiking). From what I'm seeing, at least on the 1st of February, you are eating a considerable amount of foods that will spike your insulin. The pancakes, the cheeseburger, the sub. This will definitely make you want to eat double than normal. If you manage to avoid high GI foods more, you will definitely see a huge reduction on your desire to eat :)
