[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you filling those 1700 calories with? It's likely you need more protein and fat to stay satiated. [/quote]

This, plus a week isn't very long to adjust, especially if you're always thinking about it. Front load your day with protein and healthy fat at breakfast, smaller lunch, even smaller dinner. If you snack, do it at a consistent time, because if you sometimes snack mid morning, your brain will expect that. If you sometimes snack mid afternoon, your brain will expect that also. If you only snack at one time or the other, you'll eventually only expect one snack.

Take smaller bites so your meal lasts longer. Chew your food well. My nutritionist told me that and it was the easiest and most important change I made to my eating habits and made the biggest impact. How you eat can be as important as what you eat. If you're eating smaller portions as part of your calorie reduction, your brain might not recognize that you're full and trick you into wanting to eat more. But if you're slow and purposeful about your meal, it can feel more filling than eating quickly.
