A couple diet strategies that have worked for me: Drink a lot of calorie free, caffeinated liquids. I probably drink more diet soda than I should, but tea and coffee are great as well and healthier I find eating small amounts of crap can actually help. If your diet wasn't amazing in the first place, and your goal is to lose weight so you cut out all unhealthy foods, you're fighting two battles at once - cravings for sugary/unhealthy foods, and hunger cravings. Eating a small amount of ice cream or a few french fries can satisfy the unhealthy cravings, and work as diet foods as long as your calories are sufficiently low. |

A good diet should almost never leave you hungry. The problem is the no meat/no fat diets that people try to go on. When you eat high carb you get very little bang for your buck in terms of both volume and satiety.
1 pound of chicken is only 520 calories and the protein will keep you fuller much longer than 520 calories of Oreos. 1700 calories is a good target for a typical male who wants to lose weight, which on a high protein diet can look something like:
Breakfast: 16 oz non-fat cottage cheese (300cal)
Lunch: 10 oz chicken breast (330cal), 1/2 cup dry rice = 1 cup cooked rice (300 cal)
Dinner: 10 oz chicken breast (330cal), two pieces bread (220 cal), bbq sauce (140 cal)
You're at 1620 cals so you can still have an afternoon snack and be right at your target. Add some veggies to your lunch and dinner and I challenge you to eat all that and still feel hungry.
I'm not even recommending keto or paleo or any of that stuff, just that the reason people feel hungry when they diet is that they generally don't eat enough protein.
