    I went to a five meal a day diet. It's pretty tough to be hungry when you eat every three hours or so. Years ago I did a structured diet plan that required a five meal schedule. To be a meal it has to be a minimum 150 calories and contain a protein and I try to limit each meals carbs to less than 25 (I rarely stay this low but it's a target). I have found this plan helps me even out my blood sugars and keeps the cravings away. You would be amazed at how fast they go away.

    I find chewing sugar free gum (cinneman) curves my hunger and keeps my mouth busy. I take fiber suppliments with every meal (2 grms) and eat high protien. Dr Oz had saffron extract on his Friday show as an appetite suppressant. I've never tried it so good luck. I have cravings all the time. I tried the 5-6 mini meal thing. It does NOT work for me. The only way I can stay on any diet is to eat 3 meals a day, no snacking. (I write in snacks but they are usually something I ate with my meal) When I eat those mini meals I'm just always hungry. When I eat 3 meals I feel full for up to 3 hrs after. If it's late in the day and I feel like snacking I drink green tea, diet caffiene free soda, and water. If it after 7pm I brush my teeth put on jammies and go to bed, then the kitchen isn't as tempting.

    eat small amounts of food every 3 hours, drink water and non caffienated drinks. That will block your appetite the safest way of all and better still, depending on the foods can help you keep your metabolism up.
    Check out my diary if you want examples.

    Note: My food plan is specifically designed for my body and blood type as well as my age/sex and weight.

    Eating more food tends to make the hunger disappear. I know it sounds crazy, but it works. Now I'm not hungry all the time and steadily losing weight. Crazy how that works.

    Eat nutrient dense foods, and eat when you're hungry, until you're satisfied. Boom! It works.

    I really want something that really blocks my appetite. Before there was sibutramine, but they dont sell it anymore. Xenical is buh-uh...
    Anyone has any idea?

    It is basically going to come down to eat more throughout the day and drink water. Good advice!

    protein is the best thing...You never really know what you're getting in "those pills". I certainly wouldn't trust them.

    Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    For me, healthy fats like avocado helps reduce hunger. Also, eating sugar increases my hunger, so I try to avoid it as best as I can.

    Very few calories and a great appetite suppressant.

    Eat more protein and tons of water preferrably before and after each meal. Helps me big time! :-)
