Ironically, I'm rarely hungry on my strict diet days. I eat foods that are bulky (salad, fruit, pumpkin and cottage cheese, etc.) and take a good amount of caffeine (not recommending, just saying) and I don't feel hungry very often. But, on weekends, when I tend to be more relaxed, I feel hungry often. But, truth I think its less about the hunger, and more about activity. On weekdays I'm super busy. I run non-stop from 6:30am until about 10pm at night. Then I crash. I don't have much time to get hungry. But, on weekends, even though I'm still busy, I'm not as busy and I'm usually in the house with the kids for several hours of the day. I find food to be far more tempting on those days. It's probably less about true hunger and more about 'boredom' (I'm never bored with two kids but I couldn't think of a better word). When I'm out working and running around like a chicken without its head, I rarely feel hungry.
