    Don't try to suppress hunger. Eating takes the hunger away, but just temporarly. And that's not a bad thing. If you eat enough - enough calories and sufficient amounts of all the nutrients you need - hunger is manageable. You can learn to manage - even appreciate - your hunger. Hunger should be just as unpleasant as feeling horny, or looking forward to going on vacation, or waiting to enter the football field - if you enjoy sex, like traveling, or are a football player - is unpleasant.

    I just so love this comparison. h.

    Coffee and gum. I like the sugar free Mentos.

    Anyone know any good ones that work?

    For me:

    Exercise.

    Protein.

    Fiber.

    A well rounded meal in moderation.

    This ^^^

    Also, just staying busy. Even when I didn't watch what I ate, if I was busy, I didn't get hungry. If I was sitting around bored, I would think I was hungry and start eating.

    Strongly flavored foods. For me, vinegary foods work best. Pickles, pickled peppers, hot peppers, etc. Totally takes away my appetite.

    I agree!! But for me it's bitter. I eat a dark chocolate covered almond or coffee works too.

    My cooking. Just smelling my food makes me lose my appetite sometimes...

    Eating more proteins and fiber will fill you up and keep you satisfied longer. That does work. Drug type suppressents can be dangerous over time. Quick fixes don't keep it off long term. My dr. said 'get distracted' when you get hungry. The cravings will be less and less the more you focus on something else. Hope it helps. I am working hard at this myself.

    coffee, chew spearmint gum, brush teeth.. but mostly.. pay attention .. or even take notes on the foods the leave you feeling full. I try to keep mental note on when I eat ...then i'm hungry a short time later. There is usually a pattern.

    side note.. I'm now feeling very in control of my hunger, where i truly can't believe how I can wait to eat and have portion control.. but it has taken me being exercising and eating right for 60 days for it to kick in..

    Coffee, water, pickled beetroot (tasty and low cal), apples all help me stave off until the next meal. Not found an appetite suppressant that works sadly.
