For me sometimes I just eat if I am bored even though I know I'm NOT hungry. You can't exactly get rid of them but try doing other things to keep your mind off of food!

I think your blood sugar probably drops and maybe you should eat before you take a nap...or go to bed...and you probably won't wake up hungry...sometimes though, after a nice rest..it is good to eat..you body must need nourishment, and so you aren't doing anything wrong...enjoy...cold pizza always tastes especially good at the wee hours of the morning lol

you need to give yourself a little bit of what you want otherwise you'll keep craving it and then you'll binge, just cut down slowly but you dont ever have to cut it out completely, just eat in moderation, also try lollipops coz you get the sweet taste that should take the edge off the cravings

Try 6 to 8 very small meals a day...Just so that the "edge" of your appetite goes away!

Drink a glass of water.  Throw them out and then if you are still hungry try eating something good for you, like carrots or if that doesn't work, eat a few.  If you can just eat like 2 or 3 chips and throw it out, you can get the taste but not all the fat!

Eating is usually a way of suppressing something that is bothering you.  Find out what you are stressing about, work on that and your hunger will subside.  Sounds weird but is true.

because if you feel deprived or denied of something (food in your case); you want to fill that void with something else, to satisfy another craving.  Both bring you comfort; you're just substituting one for the other.

Could be any number of reasons from that your body needs vitamins and minerals, or something in the food you crave. For example, chocolate (very craved by some) contains a chemical that interacts with the hormones in the body... That said there are also hormonal fluxes just before the start of menses, which will trigger cravings.

Try taking fruit and vegetables with you (carrots, celery...). Try having a salad for lunch, and much on fruit and vegetables when you are hungry. Limit the amount of bread and sweets that you take, and don't have sweetened soda, only diet versions. Maybe you can take some lighter lunches with you: vegetable dip with fresh vegetables to dip in it, salads, grilled vegetables, grilled meats and fish...\nGood luck.

Why is the food in front of you?  Step away from the kitchen!\n\nFind other ways to occupy your time- especially ways that get you out of the house!  When you're busy swimming lengths, attending lectures, riding your bicycle, learning a language or speed dating you won't have time to stuff your face!\n\nInside the house, keep food out of sight and out of mind!  If you have a craving, first go to the kitchen and drink a glass of water.  Usually the craving will disappear before you're finished drinking.  Invest in a few boxes of Ziplock bags and divide boxes of cookies and bags of chips into individual portions (as soon as you get home from the store) so you don't end up eating the whole box.  Keep soda pop in cans in your closet, so if you're tempted to drink one you have to first put it in the fridge and wait for it to cool down.  I guarantee you'll forget about it before it gets cold!\n\nSomeone suggested sugar-free gum- THIS IS THE WORST IDEA EVER!  Chewing gum activates your salivary glands, causing your mouth to produce saliva.  This is your body's way of preparing to break down food (aka EAT), so it will just make you crave food even more.  Gum = weight gain!

I doubt it, but there is cause for me to be concerned.  Something is making you less hungry, and it could likely be depression.  I would go see your doctor just to be on the safe side.  Also he can rule out any other medical issues that might be causing this.

Ok first off, calm down. This is simply nothing, just dont let yourself consuming anymore. Your body is simply craving for more energy, which means your diet is wrong. Best to eat full with 4 to 6 little snacks in a day. This keep you going with an energized body all the time without letting you slip off the routine. Now we have to plan how we are going to do this.\n At first, start with a journal what kind of food you're usually thinking of. If it's bad, replace it with something more healthy. Like when you're devastated for a coke, go make/buy yourself a nice strawberry smoothie that not only helps your sking but also your skin and diet. When think of a burger, take off a trip to your kitchen to make yourself a delicous sandwich filled with lettuce, 1 to 2 slices of fresh ham/turkey and a bit of nonfat cheese. See? Easy. Be creative and think of some more. Not only that, you also save your money by eating food that makes you slim. If you are desperately craving for food, that means something is wrong in your HEAD. Your brain is invaded with some sorts of stress. Think about it, why am i eating when i'm not even that hungry? Am I stressed about something coming up or already happend? You can certainly consulted to your psychologist about this too. Remember, control yourself in any circumstances.

if you arent starving yourself, then there is no reason for you to not want dinner. If you are watching what you eat then eat lightly... but don't skip meals....EVER.  That may seem to work for weight loss when your younger, but it catches up to you as you get older because meal skipping messes up your metabolism..  Your body is designed to get re fueled every few hours... so dont skip... eat smaller portions.

Actually, you should go see a Dr. You may have low thyroid function. If all checks out, then the best suggestion I can give is to go on a diabetics diet, stay away from eating triggers like watching TV, go to OA(overeaters anonymous, eat in the morning to help with nite cravings and some of the other suggestions given.

Eating helps you curb your appetite. LOL\n\nNo really try eating high protein, low carb. Get your "good fats" in too like olive oil. Get the sugar out of your diet, try making low carb treats with Splenda to get rid of cravings. I make crustless pumpkin pies with splenda things like that. \n\nPasta, try whole wheat pasta, just eat healthier. When you do eat pasta, fill up like 1/2 your plate with veggies.

Do not get discourage. Do you drink enough water? Maybe you are not hungry when you think you are, maybe you are confusing hunger with thirst.Drink a cup of water when you think you are hungry wait a few second and decide whether you are hungry or not. Eat three healthy/balance meal and two to three snacks in between. Watch you portion size and keep a food journal, it really helps. Exercise regularly try to do three day of cardio and two days of weights. Try to live a healthy lifestyle. Keep it up and remember that you can do whatever you set your mind to. Don't think negative. I wish you the best.
