Drink lots of water: One of the easiest thing to help adjust your desire to eat is to drink 1-2 glasses of water about 10 minutes before your meal. The brain always lags behind the stomach in realizing when you are full, so filling up the tank a little before you eat may help you feel full sooner than you usually do. If you have started exercising recently, that could also contribute to increased appetite.

Many things: First, dehydration can mimic hunger. When you feel that way, drink a tall glass of h2o. Second, try eating smaller portions more frequently. You should also increase fruit and vegetable intake for both the nutrients and the fiber. Try to find out why you want to eat more. Is it boredom, anger, stress, sadness, etc. This can help you identify possible emotional triggers. Do this for 1 month.
