APPETITE SUPPRESSANT!!!

lvrn09

I struggle at work (desk job). Low activity level and boredom = hunger. I FINALLY have discovered that sipping on tea is the best appetite suppressant. Water never did it for me, gum made me even more hungry! A 1/2 tsp of sugar is 8 calories so if you don't like the bitter taste add some sugar (unless you're a diabetic then don't do that). There are tons of flavored teas too plus tea has antioxidants and caffeine which boosts your metabolism :-) I highly recommend sipping on some tea if you have a desk job and are feeling hungry.

Happy dieting :-)

Hot tea is often my sweet before bed snack... I like plain old black, cinnamon flavored or vanilla chai tea, I use sweet & low and a touch of milk or sometimes the sugar free flavored creamers (which will bring up the calories to about 40/cup as I use 2.5 tbs for a 16 ounce cup)

:drinker:

I also use tea for this reason. If I find myself wanting to eat when I shouldn't be hungry - I go for the tea first and then reassess the situation. I like the bitter - so it's straight up green tea for me (and sometimes just straight up black if I don't mind having the caffeine). I'll do the flavored herbals every once in awhile, but always go back to the green tea.

If you're not a tea drinker like me, then try Green Tea tablets. 2 every morning with breakfast definately helps!!

Yogi tea makes a blueberry green tea that is called "Green Tea Blueberry Slim Life" . It's pretty good and I don't add anything to it! There is also a pomagrante green tea that is pretty good as well.

A few years back I went nuts and bout about six different types of mint plants so I could enjoy mint tea year round from my garden. BEST money I ever spent. The stuff spreads like weeds (because mint is). I have more than I can use when I harvest and dry it every fall. :-D

My favorites are apple-mint and chocolate-mint.

I'm addicted to tea, too. I always have a cup at night before bed when I'm hungry, but don't want to eat anything. Trader Joes has Candy Cane Tea, but they only carry it around December. It's so yummy!
