Hi all, I just joined myfitnesspal. I am just starting a workout routine 2x's a week and tracking my food. I'm planning on modifying my diet but I wondering if others out there have tried appetite suppresants? And if you have which one do you recommend? Thanks!

    Just eat real food, you don't need appetite suppressants. I like to eat foods with a good amount of fat and protein, as they keep me full longer. Don't be afraid to eat!

    Good food and water suppress my appetite just fine. And maybe a cup of black coffee.

    I recommend this appetite suppressant: 2 cups of chopped collard greens, blanched for 1-2 minutes, which turns into 1 cup cooked. Add 1 cup blanched carrots. Total: 100 calories that will make you feel full for hours.

    Self control.

    You might be more successful easing yourself into a diet instead of just suddenly reducing your daily caloric intake. For example, if you are used to eating 3500 calories/day don't suddenly scale back to 1500/day or else you will feel hungry. Try 3000/day for a week or two, then 2500/day, then 2000/day. This will make transitioning into healthier eating and calorie control a lot easier.

    None, go for walk and burn extra cals. If you do that, you can eat food and enjoy your weight loss journey. Oh and be more likely to keep it off.

    Well I'm not sure about it being a suppressant but protein keeps you fuller longer?

    Sweat, cuz I'm rarely up to eating after a good workout at the gym or a long walk/run.

    Don't bother. If you feel like blowing money for zero results, just send it to me instead.

    Ditto.
    Good food at meals, and when it's not real hunger, must wanting food.....a glass of cold water, a brisk walk, reading a book......

    High fiber foods and lots of water

    Envision this as a lifestyle change not a diet. If you can't see yourself doing it the rest of your life then don't bother now. What I mean is if you take some sort of appetite suppressant medication, you'd better plan on taking it the rest of your life, otherwise you'll just put the weight back on once your appetite is no longer suppressed. If that makes sense.

    Stay hydrated. Lots of no/low calorie liquids - it really helps!

    Exercise will kill appetite for a bit, and allow you to eat more in general so you don't get hungry so often.

    And people generally seem to develop a resistance to them anyway, so taking them for the rest of your life won't work either.

    Legit question: what does an appetite suppressant teach you about eating?

    I'm one of those people who for about a year was looking for a solution in a bottle, I literally spent £100's trying to find the best fat burners and appetite suppressants. Didn't work, I still craved chocolate and sandwiches in high volume all day.

    What has actually worked? Ditching the process carbs, upping fat and sticking to a 90% paleo diet. Check out my diary. My stomach actually has a bottom now!
