Listen to your body's signals and grab a quick bite of a fruit or some nuts when you feel hungry. Hunger can lead to irritation which can up the risk of you breaking away from the diet regime.

Milk induces a feeling of satiety so have a glass of milk to ward off severe hunger pangs. As a complete meal, milk also fulfils the body's essential requirements of proteins, fats and carbs.

If you are going on a strict raw until lunch diet, make sure you consume all your fruits before noon because the liver, which processes fructose, does its best work in the morning.
