[QUOTE="phdiabetic, post: 1721234, member: 317494"] I'm also often hungry. My usual hunger troubleshooting procedure is something like 1) am I low or is my blood sugar dropping? Even if you are at a normal level, you can experience hunger if your blood glucose is on its way down 2) if I don't want to have a proper meal yet, I will have a low carb snack such as salad. 3) am I thirsty? People often confuse hunger and thirst. If water/mineral water doesn't help, then sometimes I have diet soft drink. The flavour makes you feel like you're having something more substantial than water, and so helps with hunger sometimes. 4) have I had enough protein? Having protein at breakfast usually satisfies me for the rest of the morning, but if I don't I'll be hungry again earlier. Planning to eat more protein foods at mealtimes can fix this issue. Having a snack with protein is more filling than a snack with fat or carbs. [/QUOTE]
