DRINK WATER Many of us mistake thirst for hunger, thinking we want food when our bodies are really craving liquids. Drink a glass of cold water before diving into a bag of chips and your urge to munch may vanish.
PICK SWEET AND CRUNCHY Foods like apples and carrots have the perfect combo of flavor and texture to make you feel satisfied.
GO NUTS Eat a small handful of raw nuts, like almonds or walnuts. Not only will you feel full, but the good fats in nuts stop the production of ghrelin, which causes your tummy to rumble.
POP A MINT Sometimes you just need to indulge that taste craving. Try a sugar-free mint or breath strip–the flavor may be all the stimulation your taste buds need.
