Ending Dieting Gimmicks
This one focus on waiting for the growl is essential. Your gimmicks have to go. They are making you dream of the food and are increasing your head hunger, and then making you eat when you have that head hunger in the evening.

They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved. Psalm 78:18
