1. Cut out the starchy carbs completely and you won't feel hungry all the time. Eating carbs is a slippery slope. The more crappy carbs you eat the more cravings you will get.
2. Eat more fat. Seriously. If you're not eating carbs then a lean piece of chicken breast isn't going to cut it. Eat fattier cuts of meat and more nuts and avocados.
3. Be careful to not wait until you're starving to eat. You will either over eat or be left unsatisfied.

Wow, first I have to say, I like your style.
I have tried to cut it down to maybe 1 serving max of starchy stuff. I avoid white bread and usually eat rye/sourdough, I will be eating alfredo tonight but I swear its my last offense .....
I have been relying on trail mix to keep me alive at work. I usually have 2-3 handfulls every few hours. I also started eating avocados about 3 months ago and love them to death. I have been eating lean ground beef instead of EXTRA-LEAN or regular, would you recommend regular? I never eat lean chicken breast since its low in fat as-is.
And for #3, I have been pretty good at doing that. I rarely go 4+ hours without eating a little snack.
Thanks for the tips and the for-real-LOL at work!
