Is huger a bad sign when dieting?

Hunger is an indication that the body thinks it wants food.

You don't want your body to think it needs to go into starvation mode, so adequate eating is definitely important. Minimal caloric intake for females is 1200 Kcals per day. You could try spacing your meals (more frequent eating with small amounts each time to space out the energy throughout the day). Hunger could also deal with quality of caloric intake. You would likely not be hungry or as hungry from eating a nutrient dense food versus eating a non-nutrient dense food. In other words, there's a number details to consider: quality (nutrient-dense), quantity (number of Kcals for that part of the day and the whole day), habits (are you not eating at a certain time when your body is used to eating at a certain time?). For example, if we are used to eating at midnight, our body wants to always eat at midnight, even though you do not need to eat at midnight.

Usually, if you are dieting to the extent that you are losing and burning fat, then you will be hungry. So hunger is usually an inevitable consequence of dieting.

As Tim says, one solution is to eat small meals often to decrease the severity and frequency of cravings.

Perhaps the most important factor for controlling hunger is to minimize starchy carbs and sugar (keep lowering intake of these until you consistently lose weight) and to increase lean protein intake to at least 1 gram per pound of body weight (about 2 grams per kilo).

The other proven nutrient is fibre. Eat lots of colourful vegetables and some fruit (especially berries) to increase the "bulk" of your diet without adding too many calories.

Like these guys are saying, hunger is a natural response to the loss of calories. The hardest part is 3 days... Part of "hunger" may be cravings which signify foods you may have loved or been addicted to. Breads, cheeses and sweets are the hardest to tear away from followed by some other chemicals like caffeine, msg... Almost anyone I have ever met has a romance with at least one of these.

I agree with the above, but also some people get confused between the hungry feeling and needing fluid, it is important to be getting around 1.5 litres of fluids a day depending on body weight and calorie consumption. Also remember you will get a certain amount of fluids from fresh fruit.
