    When my appetite is kicking up - or rather I think it is even though I just ate and I'm not truely hungry - I drink coffee. I drink a lot of coffee. I do put a tbls of creamer in but 35 calories keeps me from snacking and I enjoy it - i'm good. I do try to drink decaf occasionally so I don't kill myself with absurd amounts of caffeine I otherwise would drink....

    Drinking peppermint tea helps and zero calories.

    Chewing gum

    Excercise is an appetite suppresant for me, especially cardio

    A hot bath with lots of water kills my appetite - works great to curb nighttime snack attacks.

    I agree with most of the posters: protein is the way to go!!
    If ever I eat carbs (pasta or rice) without any protein, I notice that I get hungry much faster.

    My mom used to take appetite suppressant pills, but she quickly gained back the weight after she stopped using them.
    Sooooooo that's not the way to go...

    relying on chia seeds too heavily for a suppressant before/after meals can be problematic too - discovered this the hard way when i was using them and bloated like a m'f-er

    I honestly believe pills are never the way.......... when you feel yourself getting hungry really look within to decide if it's actual hunger, thirst, boredom or stress.

    I actually am using them now. I have had meals with them and without them just to see if they work and they definitely do! Just be careful which one you get. I have "Weight Loss! 4 Fat Fighting Ingredients!" I got them on sale at Rite Aid for 14.99 I think and they work. Just take them with your meal and you will feel full way longer. I have to work long hours, so with my meal in the morning I take one and stay full until around 4-5 o'clock. Then I have a small snack for my "lunch" at work with a glass of water and a pill and I am fine for the rest of the day.

    This is just me though, they vary from person to person. I would give it a try though! It works for me.

    Don't use pills.

    Even if they do "work" while you are taking them, you learn nothing. Will you take these things your whole life? No. At least, I would hope not as that would be really messed up. So you need to learn what can be done WITHOUT them pills.

    In other words, you have to learn how you will live the rest of your life. And it won't be on those pills.

    ITT Op asks for the best appetite suppressant and gets trolled.

    Caffeinated drinks like coffee or diet rock-star work great.

    I have noticed a huge correlation between my hunger increasing and my TOM... (shark week.) If it is only sometimes you are having appetite issues, perhaps it is hormonal or situation.

    Oatmeal is a great appetite suppressant, imho. No joke.

    Yes, like people are saying, eat a lot of lean protein. healthy fats, and high fiber whole grains... Drinks a TON of water... Brush your teeth if you can't seem to stop eating- sometimes that's the only way I can shut off my hungry switch at night :)

    Dieting is hard! I get hungry most days too. Protein vs. carbs works, as suggested here. I find heading to the mall and trying on jeans to be the best appetite suppressant out there. I also pop a phentermine here and there on a bad hunger/craving day. I know people frown on that, but it works great. Cardio is another great idea someone posted. I try to do for myself what I do for my small child... redirect the attention from the negative behavior (enjoying a sugary treat) to something positive, be it exercise, shopping, the bath... whatever works for you.

    Fill up on the low calorie fresh fruits & veggies, low fat yogurt, etc for snacks. Drink coffee, tea, herbal teas. And silly as it sounds, keep your hands busy...knit or crochet or cross stitch etc if you enjoy it (i find I don't crave food if my hands are busy). And brushing your teeth after every meal helps, too. Ask yourself " am I hungry enough to eat an apple?" If the answer is no, than your hunger is emotional, not physical.

    I think a lot of diet pills can cause heart problems, and are essentially speed in a pill, esp if bought online.

    Throw in some chickpeas to a green smoothie and youll feel full for ages, and get a dose of protein and fiber while youre at it.
