IS ANYONE HERE... USING AN APPETITE SUPPRESSANT?

dewdrop

COMBINED WITH COUNTING CALORIES?
I'M THINKING ABOUT IT, CAUSE I GET REALLY HUNGRY :sad:

most of the over the counter suppressants have caffiene as their main ingredient...
try a nice cup green tea when you get hungry....avoid the pills...I use strong black coffee and green tea extract

I agree, Dave. I've been fighting the "before dinner" cravings this week with a nice hot cup of Bigelow Green Tea!!! It works for me!!

Green & black tea, coffee and Coke make me as hungry as a wolf on a harsh winter day :laugh: . So it doesn't work for everyone. My stomach's growling and I literally have the feeling that it's empty and needs urgent filling :ohwell: .

I recommend browsing the tips on: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/38576-10-ways-to-outwit-your-appetite?page=1#posts-437051
The thread deserves a new bump anyhow

Feeling hungry/craving a couple of days a month is normal, if you're a girl - just try to catch the pattern - it turned out I binged only on those days, if you know what I mean . Stay strong and stick to it! You can do it! :flowerforyou:

I have gone to my doctor and he has me on a combination of meds to help the weight loss, i am leary to but going to try it b/c i have not had luck with diet and excercise, he wants to jump start it so i am not discouraged at the new program he has me on

i also forgot, he has said to cut out completely: sodas-all even diet, fried foods and any fruit juices, hope that helps. i am a diet soda drinker and he encouraged me to stop saying that diet soda drinkers can possibly eat up to an additional 200 cals. per day?

I heard that before because they think they are saving calories by drink 0 calories so they eat them instead

It has to do with the artifical sweetners and how it affects your appetitte, sometimes causing an inuslin response in people.

i gained 5 lbs in a month when I tried to switch from regular to diet soda. I ate more and the taste wasn't worth it. so I went back to regular and the lbs just dropped off..but as all good girls and boy should do.... I gave up daily soda's over 3 yrs ago, I have one every now and again and i enjoy it with all its calories and sugar and taste. :blushing: we have to remember that living everyday and being happy is part of this journey, if you say no to everything, your bound to resent it and slide back.
have a good day everyone
