Just stay active. You'll get hungry sooner if you just sit there than if you walk around, bicycle, garden, or do some other low- to medium-intensity exercise over a period of time. That's the kind of exercise that your body burns fat for; it saves your stored carbos for intensive exercise.

I have eaten breakfast and gone out gardening for say, six hours, and not gotten hungry. Won't eat lunch until four in the afternoon. Because the exercise is low-intensity and constant, my body fuels it by burning fat, not carbos. So my blood sugar stays high, and I don't get hungry.

Not that I do all that much of that, or I'd be down three or four belt notches. But it does work that way.
