It takes 20 minutes for your brain and your stomach to connect on the hunger pangs. If you feel starving, it's so tempting to eat a LOT of food to satisfy the hunger. There are a couple of things you can do to help this urge. First, eat a small amount of food and set a kitchen timer for 20 minutes. Get back to your life and promise yourself another small snack if you still feel hungry when the timer beeps. Most of the time, you won't. Second, never let yourself feel hungry. There are different ways to do this, including multiple small meals, but for me the best way is a proper, well-balanced, nourishing meal of appropriate size and snacks spaced in between to fend off actual hunger pangs.

Also, recording your food is key. After a couple of weeks, you'll start to see what works. I know that if I've had about 1000 calories after breakfast, lunch, and two snacks I'm set for a good day with a normal dinner (which is my biggest meal). I also know that if I splurge on lunch and am at 1600 calories by 4pm, I'm going to have to think hard about what I can have for dinner.

Recording what you eat is key EVERY day, even the bad ones. Having a terrible, no good, very bad, 4000+ calorie day may tempt you to just forget it happened. If you put it in here, though, you'll see it, and you'll see all the good days before and after it, and you'll know that you can have a bad day and still have good days. This keeps you motivated and keeps you from feeling like a failure. You'll be less likely to quit, and in the end that's a major, major win!
