YES, I hate that! Long distance cycling, all day hiking, and all day back country, will trigger exactly the same on me! I still have about 12-pounds to go before I reach my ideal weight so this **** is not helping...
For me Kanten (japanese) AKA Agar seems to be working. It is a seaweed-based gelatin substitute, it has no calories, and it is 80% fiber. I found about it because I'm in Japan and it is used on some outstanding Japanese deserts. What you do is to mix half a teaspoon (powder form) with a hot liquid (water, tea, or coffee) 10 minutes before a meal. It fill you up and thus help you control your runnaway appetite. By itself it has no taste whatsoever (on coffee it adds to the mouthfeel or thickness but adds no disernible taste.
