Normally giving yourself a routine that helps reduce your calorie intake is good.
However I would be a bit cautious about actually eating the food in an unusual way, because this might open you up to overly disordered eating.For example, the 'Glucose Goddess' at some point was recommending deconstructing a sandwich so that you eat the protein and salad first before you eat the bread. Apparently this reduces the glycemic index? How much scientific basis that has, I don't know, but your colleagues will look at you weird, and it affects your relationship to food.

Great start!
I have dropped 0.5kg over the week, which is ok, considering I was feeling pretty grim over the weekend, and eating too much doritos and cake at a kid's birthday party.
Was 100% on top of the exercise schedule and 80% on the diet, despite feeling ill, so I'll take that as a win. Sleep was ok, felt very tired in the evenings, so couldn't stay up even if I wanted to.

I have some Hasegawas but use them for my use only.
Terrified that someone will use them with a serrated blade or cut bread on it.I do mostly use a semi permanent wooden chopping board and have some thin flexible silicon backed cutting mats to put on top for particularly staining / smelly foods (fish, chopping kimchi, food with sticky sauces)

It might not be hunger as such, it might be thirst?
around 9-10 after the kids are in bed and can finally rest on the sofa, I always feel a pang of wanting to eat or drink something.
I've got into a habit of putting on a large pot of tea (non caffeinated, so a herbal / fruit tea or a korean cereal tea).
Warm drinks are more satisfying than cold drinks, and a sweet drink (or alcohol) stirs the sugar cravings.
Miso soup sachets (22 calories for example) are quite satisfying too.
Brushing your teeth / mouthwash does put an end to the eating day for a lot of people, even when you're hungry. You are then weighing up the desire to eat, compared to the hassle of brushing your teeth again. More often than not, you can't be bothered to brush your teeth again.
