Need help with nail biting and lip chewing while dieting

hi...so I've been trying to eat less/intermittent fast, but I've been noticing that I'm constantly biting my nails/chewing my lips. for my nails I put on some drugstore fake nails and that's solving the issue, but it's made my lips worse. any suggestions?

Try drinking water instead. Get a water bottle you can refill and if you feel the urge drink water instead. If that wouldn’t work try chewing ice or there are mouth fidgets you can chew on that can be an alternative.
