Water is good. Somebody told me that a lot of times when people feel hungry and snack, they're actually reacting to a lack of water. So I tried drinking water instead, and it often erases the need to eat, especially at night.

Apples are also good. Low glycemic index, from what I'm told, and it takes practically as much energy to digest the damn things as the body can liberate from them. I know a gentleman who went on an (expensive) dietitian-supervised diet program, very regimented as to what he could eat and when, and the only thing they would let him eat at any time and in any quantities was apples (and also steamed vegetables, which he hates). Anyway, he ate a lot of apples, and still achieved his target weight right on schedule. Pretty much kept it off, too.
