The Maharal advocates filling the empty space with Torah and with acts of Kindness. How do these vanquish the yetzer Hara?
The Torah offers you goodness. People are mistaken when they think that learning Torah is a matter of acquiring information, like learning chemistry or medieval history. Rather, learning Torah is a process of actually acquiring goodness.
When the urge to eat compulsively comes on us, learning Torah fills us in ways that food can't.
