Here are a few tips: Stay away from _everything_ carbonated. Evian, Perrier, Alka-seltzer, those foofy sodas with fruit flavors, and especially Diet Coke. These will spike your Ghrelin levels and make you hangry two hours after, way worse than the worst MSG-laced Chinese food. Take fresh air breaks, prop open multiple windows, and spring for real office plants. CO2 might be a problem outside but it's not unusual for it to spike to 4-digit levels in a closed-up office (windowless glass-walled meeting rooms are awful). CO2 saps productivity in numerous ways, not least of which is making you hungry. Take a multivitamin. Things like copper and magnesium help metabolism, and even the most hipster catering firms occasionally shortchange you on the minerals and vitamins you need most, particularly when you don't like 50% of the choices they present you with. And, first seen here, use your napkin. Not to wipe your mouth and hands, but to signal to your brain that you're done eating. A wadded up napkin on top of otherwise edible food is a great way to limit your food intake. As many of us had drilled into us growing up, there may be kids starving over in wherever, but you have to think past that. In today's day and age, those kids are as likely to be overfed as underfed.
