1. Choose the times that you're going to eat. If you want to outsmart your digestive system and stop hunger pangs, you must eat at the same time every day. Choose times that don't interfere with daily activities so you stick to your eating schedule.
2. Decide how much to eat at each meal and keep to that decision. Changing the amount you eat could stretch your stomach and make it harder to satisfy your hunger.
3. Think about whether to include snack times in your eating schedule. There's nothing wrong with eating a snack between meals, as long as it's on a schedule and includes food from the healthy food groups. Bring some fresh fruit or a salad to work with you if you choose to snack. This way, you won't snack on junk food from the vending machine.
4. Adhere to the schedule that you set for yourself. Eating on a schedule is all about discipline, so stick to your goals. Once you get your body used to your schedule, it is easy to keep to it. You may feel some hunger pangs in the beginning; but they won't last long.
