The Solutions

1. Keep busy

I curb my hunger pangs by keeping myself busy. You can read a book, call a friend or go for a walk. Whatever you do, stay away from the refrigerator! --mons_sat

Sometimes when I am sitting idle, I start feeling bored and I eat. So stay busy. Today I bought a puzzle book to keep my mind and hands occupied. --cookiecrook

The more active we become, the less time we have to think about food. And when you're more active, you can afford a few more calories! --Lili

2. Drink up

Drinking the recommended eight glasses of water a day helps to curb my hunger between meals. --Jenny

Sometimes when your tummy feels like it is hungry, it is really a signal of thirst. This is a perfect opportunity to increase your water intake, an essential part of any diet. --Lori Feeney

Water, water and more water -- then a little water. I have lost a little more than 30 pounds, and I notice that I do my best when I am constantly drinking water and my worst when I blow off the water consumption. --Bonnie
