[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 370490, member: 55568"] Prof Taylor's advice includes: d) Recognise that the sensation of hunger is sign of success, not a signal to eat. e) Enjoy that hunger. Celebrate with a glass of water. Maybe fizzy water. I don't get pangs so often now but I keep a bottle of cheapo cheapo calorie and carbohydrate free lemonade in the fridge and, rather than water, I squeeze the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon into a large glass of the ice cold lemonade. It's sour and its fizzy and its cold and the pangs just disappear. Also has the benefit that the acidity of the lemon helps a little with insulin sensitivity and those yellow strands of lemon fruit flesh contain soluable fibre. Those pangs do eventually disappear though. If you need to bite on something, I sometimes use a whole baby gem lettuce with a small amount of oil and rather more vinegar, cider or lemon, to make a dressing. I often add herbs. It's quite a lot to eat for few calories which is mostly the oil. Again, it does you more good than harm. Sour tastes seem to stop me feeling hungry. [/QUOTE]
