I think I have seen ads for things that you can mix in with water to help suppress your appetite... does anyone know of agood one, or if they are good for you?

    I would stick to healthy eating and exercise, lower your calories to the goal set by MFP...and your appetite will decrease in time. Just be strong! Don't put stuff in your body that doesn't need to be there.

    I echo what others have said, also try tea! Especially Oolong tea. I really like it, and its either the tea or just the warmness that makes me feel full.

    I would advise against anything like that and just stick to healthy eating and exercise.
    There are plenty of regular healthy foods out there though that are very filling so you don't feel as much need to overeat :)

    I know!! It's awful!

    I find that water can be a good appetite suppressant.

    Try to eat your meal slower,( takes your stomach about 20 minutes to determine it is full) Eat a lot of fiber which keeps you FULL longer.

    coffee IS good - food is also good. You can just eat something very low cal - vegetables are super low, fruit is pretty low (Depending on the fruit and it needs to be whole, not juice).

    Other good things are like - I have a scoop of protein powder in water in the morning some days (find one that tastes ok that way) and it is only 135-150 calories for 30 grams of protein which I sip over an hour or so. by the time its gone I'm full on water and protein and I won't be hungry again for a couple hours.

    Exercising, eating enough and not waiting till I'm DEAD before I have a small meal. An apple now and then and water to fight sudden cravings. A small piece of dark chocolate along with my cup of coffee and lots of veggies.

    But if I REALLY want to even reduce that it's definitely

    mate-tea.

    Not as a powder you just stir into water, just the dried and "chopped" leaves.
    No sugar, no nothing.

    (Right now and for the past week) I have been drinking 3 - 4 cups a day.
    It starts "working" after one or two days -- and it DOES do its thing for me!!!

    Good luck!!!

    Coffee.

    My mom swears coffee is an appetite suppressant for her.

    For me, I try and eat some raw carrots before meals or going to a restaurant or something. I just try to eat enough snacks to not find myself ravenous and desperate for a meal.
