Amazing how little some people's intake of fluids is. One thing I've
noticed watching my weight is that lots of water, black coffee, diet
sode, tea, etc. does keep the hunger away. It must be that that full
feeling is assoicated with having just eaten. Anyway it works well for
me...have to watch the caffein intake though when eating less, because
it will give you the jitters and keep you awake. I suppose fiber works
the same way except of course it can also produce gas which can give
you a really full feeling. High fiber and high water intake can really
help curb appetite whatever the reason. dkw
