John, kudos for making the changes toward a healthier you! I hope I’ll have a similar story.
I’ve downloaded the zero app and am checking it out now. What were your secrets to ignoring the hungry times?
I use my fitness pal to record my nutrition

Hi Kathy, I was surprised because after a few days doing the 20/4 fasting and eating 2 good meals during the 4 hours, I wasn't really hungry like I normally got at night. I did focus on drinking a lot more water and coffee. I've always had problems with not drinking enough water so I think focusing on that helped keep the hunger pangs at bay. My daughter bought me a 32 Oz water bottle with an infuser and I drink 2 a day. What's nice is that I can chop up pieces of lemon, lime, cucumbers which gives it a flavor and helps. I've also found that during my eating window I can take frozen berries and fill the infuser to make the water colder and then when the waters gone I can eat the berries. Here's the bottle she bought me but there are a lot of different ones - https://www.amazon.com/AquaFrut-Fruit-Infuser-Water-Bottle/dp/B018364XA0/.

I think that making sure I was satiated after my last meal for the day took my mind off of snacking until I went to bed. After a few days, I wasn't hungry in the evening anymore.
