In class at the VA we recently discussed several ways to control hunger and here are several I found important.

- Include a high protein food source with each meal as protein is much more successful in satisfying hunger than fats or carbs.

- Be sure to eat the reccommended 25 grams of fiber daily. Fiber rich foods also promote a feeling of fullness.

- Many times the body misreads the signal for thirst for that of hunger. The signals are very similar and drinking a low cal beverage when you feel hungry will sometimes satisfy what you feel is hunger.

- Always eat breakfast and avoid skipping meals. Eating small meals even if you eat more frequently keeps hunger from escalating. Waiting till you feel starved results in a higher likelihood of overdoing it when you do eat.

- Exercise regularly. Exercise serves to curb appetite.
