[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was hungry sometimes but I was less hungry eating a lot of protein. It's known to suppress the appetiite, at least in a lot of people. It also helps preserve muscle mass while dieting. I'm 180, down from 220. I limited calories to 2,000 per day and slowly lost, with the provision that there must be at least 100 grams of protein. (I also try to get 100% daily requirement for calcium -- greek yogurt is great for both protein and calcium.)
MdDonalds Sweet Chili griled chicken wraps, Artisinal chicken sandwiches, 30 grams of protein and 350-400 calories or so -- they're great. You're chicken is good. Also some protein bars and powders, and a multivitamin. All under a doctors direction. [/quote]

+100.  Protein totally kills my hunger.  Must be at least 20-30 grams.  high fiber helps but high fiber alone won't work - must be combined with protein, which is the key.  I also love greek yogurt - but only the kinds that are high protein AND low sugar.  Also, nuts are great.  High fiber, high protein nut bars and high protein, low sugar drinks are hood yo stock to avoid the munchies.

Going to bed early and getting 7-8 hours nightly alsk helped reduce evening noshing. [/quote]
