[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, [b]I'm a registered dietitian[/b]. Are you doing this under some sort of medical recommendation?  1700 calories is barely enough for anyone. Try bumping up to 2,000, adding in more fiber, protein and healthy fats.[/quote]

Well this post proves being a registered dietitian doesn't mean one is qualified to provide nutrition or diet advice.

1700 calories is more than sufficient for an average person who not exercising strenuously for hours all day.

The issue is probably that OP isn't really hungry so much as misses the habit of eating and then feels like she really wants to eat, starts thinking about it, and mind over matter convinces herself she has hunger pains and then needs to eat.  Changing habits is really much harder than cutting back calories.  Even eating more filling foods many people will still "feel hungry" for a while until they adapt to their new habits like less snacking.

Also 100 oz of water is fine but it's likely having the opposite effect that OP desires at she is probably not hydrating anymore. She would be better off drinking an electrolyte solution once a day along with the water 100 oz of water.  [/quote]
