Ive read taking some Glutamine between meals can help curb hunger. Havent tried it myself. I dont have a problem with it when Im at work as I can find ways to keep my mind off it but when at home its the opposite, so I would have some sugar free jello, just a few mouths full when I am craving something really bad. But come like 8-10 weeks out nothing other than whats on the plan is ingested...last year not even any diet sodas (they were my crutch in the past) according to Farrah, diet soda can interfere with amino acid uptake. I havent looked into that though but he doesnt allow diet sodas with his clients, on the other hand Hany Rambod does, so who knows.
