Nothing quells the appetite like water lots and lots of water. Try to drink 8 glasses (64 ounces) a day.
Start with two quart-bottles in the morning and carry one with you to work and save the other for after work. Or divvy it up into eight 8-ounce bottles or four 16-ounce (1 pint) bottles to carry throughout the day.
Here's a cool tip: freeze a bottle or two of water the night before and it will last all day, even in a hot car.

HOSPITAL BEGINS NEW ERA UNDER LOCAL OWNERSHIP
Culver City, CA September 1, 2005 A new day at Brotman Medical Center began today as the 420-bed facility officially changed owners. The new owners consist of a group led by Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. and includes physicians on staff at the hospital and private investors from the community. Dr. Jack Terner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Prospect, commented, "We are very pleased to announce the finalization of the sale of Brotman Medical Center. Brotman will continue to be run by its existing, excellent management team. We believe that there is a great opportunity in West Los Angeles for an IPA company like Prospect Medical and a top quality hospital like Brotman Medical Center to partner with HMOs to jointly contract and market Medicare services. Perhaps most importantly, this sale will enable Brotman to continue to expand and improve its high quality service offerings to the surrounding community." Dr. Terner was a member of Brotman's medical staff for almost 30 years and also served as chair of the pathology department for many years. For the past four years, he has served as a member of the Brotman Medical Center governing board. Dr. Terner held the position of clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Southern California School of Medicine from 1972 to 2001. He is currently emeritus professor of obstetrics and gynecology.
Maurine Cate, CEO of Brotman Medical Center adds, "A new day is starting at Brotman Medical Center. Our new owners, led by Prospect Medical Group, are committed to keeping Brotman in the forefront of providing the best possible health care for the communities that we serve. I am extremely proud of the physicians and staff for all of their hard work during this period of change in ownership. I look forward to working with the elected officials and community leaders of Culver City to chart a course for Brotman's future."
