Hello, Here are 22 tricks to convince your body it's not hungry .. Hope this will help !

1. Drink Water - This is one of the most essential ways to stay healthy and stick to your diet. Not only does drinking water flush toxins from your body, it keeps you energized and makes your stomach feel full. Do not force too much water down, as that will make you feel sick. However, drinking eight glasses a day plus one before each meal will stem your hunger.

2. Chew Gum - Sugarless gum is a guilt-free way to keep your jaws busy. Many people attest that Chewing Gum can help you lose weight and make you feel as if you are eating food. Other benefits, such as building stronger jaw muscles and increasing concentration, are also associated with chewing gum.

3. Take a Nap - Can't stop thinking about how hungry you are? Take a little nap and you will probably wake up feeling more energized and more satisfied. Most people don't feel hungry first thing in the morning and that is because there is less acid in your stomach. A nap can recreate this feeling.

4. Eat Small Meals Throughout the Day - One of the best ways to not feel hungry is by constantly eating! Yes, this can actually help you lose weight. By eating smaller meals throughout the day instead of a few large meals, your metabolism stays high and your stomach always has a little food in it. Try six meals a day instead of three.

5. Fill up on Fresh Veggies - If you really need a snack, you should eat one that is guilt-free and that won't contribute to more hunger. Non-starchy vegetables are "free foods" that you can eat all day without gaining weight. They also stick to your ribs longer than other snacks. Did you know that it takes more calories to consume a stick of celery than are actually in the celery? That is why celery is referred to as a "negative calorie" food.

6. Reduce Your Carb Intake - Carbohydrates turn to sugar and stimulate your body's insulin, thus causing a vicious cycle of hunger. Remember, food is supposed to satiate your hunger, not increase it! Reduce your carb intake to gain control over your constant hunger.

7. Eat Lean Protein - Protein stays in your body longer than carbohydrates, so choose a lean piece of meat over a low-fat bagel. There is a reason why people were dropping serious pounds on the Atkin's Diet. While that is an extreme diet, you can sensibly increase your lean protein intake and minimize your hunger between meals.

8. Increase Your Fiber Intake - Bulky, high-fiber foods usually fill your stomach quickly and keep you satisfied for a long time. They also require quite a bit of chewing, which psychologically triggers the feeling of satisfaction.

9. Don't Skip Breakfast - So many people run out the door before eating a good breakfast. Likewise, misinformed people who are trying to lose weight will sometimes skip meals. Breakfast is definitely not the meal the skip, as it gives you a much-needed metabolism boost to keep you going until your next meal.

10. Eat More Eggs - Looking for a low-fat, high-protein snack to stem your hunger? Eggs will give you that in spades. If cholesterol is a concern for you, skip the egg yolks and make yourself an egg white snack.

11. Brush Your Teeth and Tongue - How great does a minty, clean mouth feel? Probably good enough to make you think twice before you eat something directly after a good tooth and tongue brushing. This is a method used by many dieters.

12. Exercise - A nice long walk or jog is certain to boost your adrenaline and kill your hunger… for a while, at least. Burning more calories will make your body hungry. However, most people are not hungry directly after exercising, so this can be a great way to pass the time between meals instead of eating.

13. Drink Vinegar - A fad diet that has come and gone involved drinking two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar before each meal. While it was proven that vinegar does not directly cause weight loss, some people feel less hungry after drinking it because it's so unappealing.

14. Avoid Salt - Excessive amounts of salt is never good for your body and can definitely lead to dehydration. Since many people can't recognize the difference between hunger and thirst, eating salt could make you feel as if you are hungry when you really aren't.

15. Avoid Sugar - Foods that are high in sugar may taste delicious, but they burn through your body too quickly. Even sugary snacks that are low in fat are a bad idea, as you will just get hungry soon again and require more food.

16. Stay Busy - Many people convince themselves that they are hungry when they are actually just bored. If you find yourself eating because there is nothing else to do, put yourself to work. Keep your mind off food and your diet.

17. Avoid Food - Literally. Not only should you keep yourself busy, you might want to avoid places where you will see (and smell!) food. Don't hang out in the kitchen and don't meet friends at a restaurant if you aren't planning on eating.

18. Avoid Alcohol - Not only is alcohol filled with empty calories, it can greatly increase your appetite. It is hard to tell when your body is full after you become a bit tipsy. Alcohol also relaxes that willpower of yours, which makes you even more likely to go for a second helping.

19. Eat Slower - Often times, we will eat until we are "stuffed." You don't want to go that far before you stop eating, which is why you should slow down when you eat. You may be surprised at how much less you will have to eat before your body feels satisfied.

20. Suck on a Peppermint - Many physical and psychological benefits have been attributed to peppermint over the years. Although it hasn't been proven by scientists, some dieters swear that sucking on a peppermint makes their body feel full when they are a bit peckish.

21. Avoid Caffeine - Although some people use caffeine as an appetite suppressant, you will just quickly crash after the caffeine burns through your body. This is similar to how sugar makes you hungrier than before. You really don't need anything to drink other than water while trying to lose weight.

22. Chew Ice - Chewing will trick your body into thinking it's eating and water makes your stomach feel fuller. Therefore, chewing ice covers both diet tricks at once! Mind you, chewing ice isn't good for sensitive teeth or those with braces.

You can carry a elastic around on your wrist, and when you get the craving for fatty foods you just pull the elastic back and release and it will hurt, then go and eat some thing good for you. this worked for me, and it may sound painful but it works!!!!

Hi, I have been 'trying' (I put them in grave accent marks because I do try- honest but somehow I always give in and I can't resist the temptation) anyway, like I was saying I've been trying to lose weight for way over a year now but I can never stick to it, I've decided as of tomorrow I'm going to go on a strict diet and have: breakfast; small lunch; dinner. The reason why you snack is because you see something you like and it's also your taste buds you like the taste, if you didn't like the taste of something obviously you wouldn't eat it, would you? as humans we for some reason like eating; people often choose to snack when they're bored-like me. I'm going to include some helpful tips below of some ways to possibly help you from snacking, I !

1. Drink A LOT of water, you should be drinking on average 1 litre and a half a day, I know water is considered 'boring' but you can add lemon juice to it which is known for speeding up your metabolism, henceforward loosing you weight over time.

2. STAY POSITIVE and believe in yourself, when you see something that you're really tempted to eat say to yourself "no, I'm better than this" and then just walk away from it.

3. If your friends offer you food, just say no because all you have to think is that they would of demolished it within a couple of minutes so you won't be tempted after that as it will be gone.

4. Always remember the quote "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" just rehearse this in your head.

5. DON'T BUY JUNK FOOD. I guarantee you'll be less prone to the temptation of wanting food if it's not in your house because can you really be bothered to go out and get it?

6. Snacks cost money, it's not worth spending your money on something that will only leave you satisfied for a matter of minutes.

7. If you feel the need to snack then snack on fruit, maybe a hand full of nuts or fruit like grapes etc. this way you're still being healthy.

8. Picture how YOU want to look, I do this whenever I'm tempted to eat something I imagine how I look now and how I would look when I eventually lose weight.

9. Stay busy, people are far more likely to snack when they're bored, I don't know why, but we all do it!

10. If you eat your meals slower, you get fuller quicker, furthermore meaning that you won't need to snack all the time.

11. When you feel like you can't stop yourself, go for a walk or even brush your teeth, because we all know what food tastes like after you've just brushed your teeth haha (ew) especially a grape!

12. If you're a woman you could paint your nails because you wouldn't want to smudge your nails by preparing a snack, am I right?

13. Do something that you enjoy doing, watch films, get engrossed in a good book- time will fly. For me I like drawing and being creative so I often do this and then I glance at the time and it's already near to dinner time so I don't feel the urge to snack.

I really do hope these 13 tips help you even if it's only a little bit, remember you're in control. Good luck & you can do it! x
