What food can help curb appetite / make you feel full?

[JoNeS]

If I have a clean day and eat body-building foods all day, I'll normally get a killer craving for non-clean food right before I go to bed.

Want to know what you guys eat to help curb the appetite when your dieting, or when you just feel starving but know you shouldn't eat.

i have 1 tsp of psyllium, 1 TBSP flaxseeds, 1 tsp oatbran in a big glass of water about 1/2 to 45 minutes before you eat or try to eat

Lots of Water

I agree! I had read that here before but I don't have much will power so I usually just cave in and pig out. About a week ago I was driving home, really craving a pizza--which I woulda eaten all on my own--but then I remembered what I'd read and figured I'd try it. I had a 16 oz. bottle of water in the car and just chugged it all at once, and immediately I felt full and no longer craved anything. By the time I got home, my brain wasn't in crazy craving mode anymore and I ate something healthy.

Another thing I really like is to make sugar-free Jello and put it into egg molds. It gets boring eating it out of a bowl, but my mom's got some egg molds from Easter so I just make em in there and keep them in the fridge for a sweet, no-sugar snack. Each egg is only about 15 calories and I think that might even come from protein...?

Thats exactly my pronlem, but reversed.............I eat so much fiberous veggies, that it's rough to eat every 2 hours.....very rough.............so, load up on the fiber....you wont be hungry for days........

Yup, fibrous veggies are a saviour, lettuce is my favourite.

Btw, if you are getting killer cravings at night, your diet is very likely low on calories. Why don't you post it up to get more suggestions.

I also rely on ANPB for the nighttime cravings. Usually just 1 tbso will get me through

I like to enjoy dry cottage cheese with a few raw sunflower seeds in the PM. Seems to help curb appepitite.

Crystal lite works too.
