Personally, I just find something else to distract myself from hunger. Movies, video games, etc,... are all good. When I am dieting, hunger and feeling of run down are indicators that my diet is working. When I eat all my food, I would be full (temporarily) for an hour or so then I am starving is an indicator that my metabolism is kicking. When I feel run down, it tells me that my weight will drop the next morning (on the scale). Either way, I use that as motivator for me.
