Hanger or The Lunch-to-Dinner Stretch
This seems to have always been a popular topic here, and looking through old posts, I find that even posted advice on the matter back in 2013. I now find myself in need of advice.
I started a new job about 2 months ago and have been trying to settle back into a No S routine after some off-and-on months. My problem lately is that around 5 pm, which is about when I get home each day, I am ravenous to the point of irritability. Hangry, as they say. So, I'm either grumpy and distracted until dinner, or I pig out.
Who else has struggled with this and what did you do about it?

I would drink a decaf latte. Some would call this other tactic a fail, but I would sometimes have some plain broth instead.
Or eat earlier, but not everyone has that option.
No matter what, I was never sorry I just up with the discomfort instead of eating in response.

If it's occasional I might have a handful of nuts to tied me over.
If everyday, look at lunch composition and up the protein and fat content.
Also a glass of water, sometimes dehydration can be mistaken for hunger.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.
