If you're trying to lose weight, you're probably modifying your diet and eating fewer calories than you burn. If this causes you to feel hungry, then you're going to end up eating those missing calories and not be able to reach your goal. To quell that hunger feeling, you want to make the calories that you do eat count. 
Since foods rich in fiber keep you feeling full and satisfied longer than other foods, you want to make sure that every time you eat, you include high-fiber foods. Some great choices are fresh fruits, veggies, dried fruits, beans, nuts, and whole grains. Also, try to switch out your old pasta, cereal, and bread with whole-grain versions. Not only will this keep your hunger at bay, but eating fiber throughout the day will help you get the 30 grams of fiber you should be getting anyway.

I only eat whoe grain and whole wheat, no enriched for this girl!
1so much that fibre would make me sh*t all day long. i swear, one too many pieces of dried fruit and i'm done!
2Watch out for prunes... natural laxative.
3agreed with you urban chic ... prunes are a killer!
4I had beans with my supper but I was still starving after I ate. I snack on fruit all day and honestly don't find that it fills me up or keeps me fuller longer.
5Some of my favorite snacks that seem to curb my hunger:
Apples with Peanut Butter
Whole grain crackers w/ FF cottage cheese
A few slices of real cheese
A whole grain wrap w/ faux meat (soy stuff) and 2% cheese slices
1 cup of whole grain cereal (dry)
Glass of milk, or cup of decaf
Plain rice cake with peanut butter
Grapefruit
Oatmeal w/ dried fruit
Oatmeal bars/ granola bars (low cal ones of course w/ low sugar)
And I make sure I drink a full glass of water with each snack.. sometimes a glass of water is all you need anyways & if all else fails, I pop in a piece of sugar free gum!
6Hey! Don't knock the prunes. I love those things. But you're right - who needs Metamucil?
7Jaime Leah you may just not be eating enough all together...
