Give and get support around quitting
I can't seem to get enough to eat no matter what I do. Any good tips?
Fiber!!
oatmeal, chili beans, anything like that will help you feel full.
Chew on straws, coffee stirs, gum. toothbrush, your hand, etc..
Also nuts, and some suggested sunflower seeds .
Thank you anaussiemom, never though about oatmeal I think that is something I'll try now...
Mix oatmeal with peanut butter and blueberries. Delicious!
Try sipping from a water bottle - the more often, the better. Smoking seemed to decrease my appetite, and that is not happening for you anymore. You might also try snacking on some frozen grapes, or even frozen Hersey Kisses.
It is better to eat many, smaller meals during the day instead of three big ones so your blood sugar stays level.
This, too, shall pass, once your body adjusts to your new normal.

Thank you Youngatheart, maybe I'll make some flavored sugar free ice cubes...
In the beginning, I could not get full - no matter how much I ate. Just stop eating when you know you have had enough and drink lots and lots of water. Your appetite will get back to normal after a while. Good job on 16 days!
Thank you Jennifer, I'm feeling a little bit like a balloon... LOL
Fruits,raw veggies,nuts,crunchy crackers,lean proteins,sugar free jellos and yogurts work for me.Whole grains have
more fiber,flavor and vitamins....... All those things fill you up... I chew alot of gum and suck on hot cinnamon hard candy with the cravings. Get some exercise........... The appetite does settle down.......
