Eat the same amount as usual, just have healthier options. Instead of chocolate, have a fruit and nut bar or something. The only ways to make your stomach less loud is by eating.

If you need any ideas on small snacks for inbetween meals, just drop one in my inbox! ♥ [ angel411's advice column | Ask angel411 A Question ]

Shelbyjune answered Tuesday January 18 2005, 8:53 pm: You should be eating three meals a day, at the very minimum. As a matter of fact, many preach --and correctly -- that six "mini meals" are the best way to lose weight. Think of it as three meals and three snacks. Your most important meal of the day is breakfast (breaking your fast after sleeping all night).
Another thing to remember is to drink 6-8 glasses of ICE water a day. Some people say warm water, but I've found cold is better because it revs up your metabolism (makes your blood beat faster to make you warm up). If you're not used to drinking all that water, try Crystal Light: 3 glasses of water, 3 of CL, then 4 of water, 2 of CL, you get the idea.
Third, if your stomach is growling, grab a carrot or some celery or a slice of apple or a piece of gum or a mint -- anything that will curb it until lunch! The fact is, if you ignore it, it will only prompt your body to start into starvation mode, i.e., grabbing everything that you put into your body and storing it in case you start to get hungry. The result? No weight loss?
Fourth, exercise. The easiest is to walk. Work your way up to 3 miles in 45 minutes 5 days a week AND DON'T DO THIS IMMEDIATELY unless you've been a regular exerciser anyway.
Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me for more pointers. [ Shelbyjune's advice column | Ask Shelbyjune A Question ]
Sherry answered Tuesday January 18 2005, 8:43 pm: Well maybe your hungry, just eat breakfest before you go to school and maybe bring a snack. You cant just not eat a lot becuase your on a diet. Eat a healthy breakfest and snack. Like for breakfest eat egg whites and milk..and bring a granola bar to school. You need to fill yourself up because if not, your body will think its starving and thats not good! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
