Breastfeeding and hunger

I am breastfeeding and I am always feeling hungry, which makes losing weight even more of a challenge. I try to eat healthy, but the cravings are real. Has anyone discovered ways to handle hunger while still losing weight? I would love to hear some strategies that worked for you

Eating more protein helped! I was craving carbs but used to try to snack on low fat Greek yogurt instead. I used to buy large tubs so I always had some available and eat it mixed with a little bit of Splenda (I have a sweet tooth). When I had the energy I used to make overnight oats with it as well.
