Well, lately I've been starting to eat a lot more than I ever have, including tons more junk food and candy, I used to have a really small appetite and would have a hard time eating a whole plate of food, now I eat an entire plate of food and I'm hungry or start craving food about 30 minutes later. Whenever I tell people about it, they say it's just a natural part of growing older. But for now, this extra food I'm eating hasn't started to show on my body yet but I'm worried by my eating habits now will start to affect my health and figure in the future. How can I start to curb my appetite and build better eating habits.

1. It seems there's tons of weight loss advice all over the Internet, and because it's polluted with all kinds of vested interests and "party line" approaches, I want to turn to the hive mind. For starters, here's some of the conventional wisdom I have a beef with:

   1) Low fat foods. The Atkins camp has already made it pretty clear that low-fat foods increase hunger, and I believe it based on my own experience and the fact that it's a huge basis for their diet.

   2) Fruit. We're told to grab fruit when we're hungry, but these are basically packages of complex sugars. How can this possibly help with appetite?

   3) 3 Meals A Day (TM). I find that eating breakfast, even stuff without tons of sugar, supercharges my appetite! On the days that I skip breakfast, my eating habits stay in check. Go figure.

   I don't mind hearing crazy ideas like tacos or gin & tonics! Hell, if it's worked for you I'm interested in hearing about it.

   So far I'm suspecting that low glycemic index foods might be the holy grail. Also introducing coffee into the diet might help due to the appetite suppressant effect (and as a programmer I can hardly argue with a mental boost). Also I'm ramping up my meat consumption… I do not know why but I've had a growing suspicion that high protein intake might be an effective appetite suppressant.

   Right now I'm basically avoiding foods that are specifically low-fat, and avoiding high-fructose corn syrup products, the bane of America, which I understand has some basis for boosting appetite and is of course extremely sugar-dense. To help curb appetite I've experimented a tiny bit with psyllium husk capsules… the effect seems to be doubtful and I'm thinking I may have to go with actual psyllium of some sort to get the same effect.

2. hi, that's also a problem to me but lately, I've tried to abstain from carbohydrates and sweets. I'm sticking to fish, veggies and fruits. whenever I feel hungry, I grab a fruit and that will ease the desire for food. I also find it helpful to post in the ref the foods that I can have and those that must be avoided. you can try also the "after six" habit (don't eat anything after six pm). it will also do you good to do a lot of reading or engaging in your favorite sport because that will take your mind off to your desire for food.good luck!
3. Could it be possible your body is gearing up for the winter season by adding some extra lbs? I seem to be going through the same thing. I'm glad your aware of this happening. Please be sensible and dont overindulge. Eventually it will have some negative affects. Try excersizing as well.
4. thats like me, I have the munchies, it is weird ain't it, I had a huge meal and 30 mins later, I start feeling hungry and eat some fritos, but I don't eat too much, I also don't gain wait, I'm 109 for like 5 months, so I'm trying to eat some food because I'm growing and I need the fat to coshion my bones, I don't mind not gaining wait but it is weird, u shouldn't eat so much junk food, it is bad for ur heart, u can eat like alittle, like I dunno some
