can anyone suggest good hunger/craving suppressants?

hgalioto

i often find myself craving things all the time, no matter how much i eat. i was wondering if anyone can suggest any good ways to either distract myself from these cravings or to completely suppress them.
im not looking for foods that will fill me up btw. im just looking for ways to avoid eating completely at times when i know i shouldn't.

I drink water, lots and lots of water. I was a really bad "bored" eater, especially at work. Now I just drink a lot of water before, with, and after I eat and don't over eat. And when I'm bored. Best part is that water has 0 calories haha

Let me know when you find it.

Drink water, eat low cal foods, like celery, pickles...
I can do a green salad with lemon juice, too.
Sometimes, I just need to chew, so gum helps.
If you stay constantly hungry over time, you may need to adjust yr calories to a higher level to satisfy your body.

Well there's cravings and then there is hunger. First you have to ask yourself which one it is. If its cravings, you just gotta learn and tough it out. Sometimes I eat something else that I like, something healthier, just to supress the craving of the usually unhealthy thing I want. If its hunger, I would recommend eating. If you are already over your calorie goals for the day, take a step back, look at what you are eating and make some adjustments. If you know you are bound to get hungry later in the evening, eat something lighter, yet filling at dinner, that will leave room for a snack at night.

I know my problem with craving food is, the moment I put even the smallest bit of food in my mouth, I want to firebomb the entire fridge. Best thing to do is either: A)resist it, or drink some water.

Food. Seriously. I agree with learning to identify whether it's true hunger or not, but being overly restrictive tends to lead us to failure.

gum. sugar free.

It's not for everyone, but kale seems to keep me satisfied longer than most foods. I will have 2 cups in a salad for lunch and it seems to cut down on my after dinner cravings.

Eating whole grains and nuts helps keep you stay fuller for longer. More fiber and protein plus healthy fats is the way to go!

With all cravings, when the thought first enters your mind, you got about 1/2 second to replace it with another thought. If you entertain it, you'll have a harder time resisting it.

Protein foods, I had tuna for breakfast (weird I know) and a smoothie with protein powder for lunch, and I was still full by dinner time. Had to make myself have a salad

Grapefruit essential oil can help...or SlimNSassy oils by doTERRA. (it's a blend of all natural essential oils) Not a "magic pill" but it will help with the cravings and grapefruit helps boost metabolism and burn fat. Feel free to message me.

First thing is, are you eating enough?
Are the macros satisfying to you (For example, I personally need higher protein to feel satisfied).
Are you drinking enough water, have you tracked it to make sure?
I have used hoodia herb with really good success. It makes me feel satisfied all the way to the next meal.

No. Drink water. Eat healthy snacks throughout the day. Pills and gimmicks are not the answer.

I think a cup of green tea is said to help. I keep meaning to buy some and try it.

I have awful cravings when my blood sugar is out of control.
Limiting my sugars (excluding fruit) keeps my cravings in check.

Fruit fulfill my sweet cravings now

I tend to eat food when I am hungry. *shrug* :ohwell:

Avoid all sugars, especially white sugar and take one chromium polynicotinate 200 mcg in the morning. Of course please check with your doctor before including it in your plan. It works very well for me.

I'm sorry, but there is no scientific evidence that grapefruit boosts metabolism or burns fat. But I do love grapefruit as part of a healthy diet. It's full of nutrients.

Gymnema – 1 tablet 3 times per day or 2 tablets twice per day

I have craved sugar and baked goods all my life. Only recently have I discovered Gymnema, available at health food stores.
It's an herb from India. It has made a fairly significant difference in my life. Good Luck

Cravings can be emotional or physical. I am guessing that most are usually emotional.

I would think about WHAT you are hoping the food is going to do for you. Are you bored, tired, stressed, lonely, frustrated, angry? Food does not have the ability to meet your emotional needs even though people attempt to do just that all the time. I think this is because food feels good in the moment. But if you really think about it, has food ever made those unpleasant feelings go away? Not really!

Water and sugar free gum work for me... or just practice self denial. That's usually what it boils down to.

Find out your tdee. Eat at a 20% deficit if you are trying to lose.
Eat a balanced diet.
Get adequate protein, carbs, fats, fiber.
Drink adequate water.
Get some exercise.
You don't need pills you just need to eat enough, fit your macros.

1000mg of Glutamine or L-Glutamine twice a day is a great way to overcome sugar cravings.

For general hunger cravings I use H2Orange. This is a 1:7 ratio of not-from concentrate OJ to water. I drink 2 quarts a day, spread throughout my day. It keeps my blood sugar level very even and cuts cravings more than I ever felt possible.

I got these tools from the Naturally Slim program and my husband and I both have noticed such a difference with their help.

I go and have a bath or go to bed.

You need to eat food that slow released energy like porridge for breakfasts, whole meal bread brown rice and pasta, These foods will help fill you up so you don't crave. If you drink water in between meals it will be a guide as to are you hungry or just thirsty and you need a drink, because you loose a lot of fluids when changing your eating habits. Good luck

They say weight training is supposed to suppress hunger for up to two hours? Otherwise I've been trying my own version of the master cleanse to suppress hunger, which is basically tea with lemon and cayenne pepper. It helps sometimes

I eat food. Tonight I was craving Samoas, now I'm eating Samoas.
