    There are lots that will work.. but the side effects are not worth it.
    You should just drink more water.

    Caffeine does work as an appetite suppresent, as does cinnamon.

    Also self control.

    Cinnamon is an appetite STIMULANT

    No.

    Blood Sugar Control

    Seasoning a high carb food with cinnamon can help lessen its impact on your blood sugar levels. Cinnamon slows the rate at which the stomach empties after meals, reducing the rise in blood sugar after eating. Researchers measured how quickly the stomach emptied after 14 healthy subjects ate 300 grams (1.2 cups) of rice pudding alone or seasoned with 6 grams (1.2 teaspoons) of cinnamon. Adding cinnamon to the rice pudding lowered the gastric emptying rate from 37% to 34.5% and significantly lessened the rise in blood sugar levels after eating. Am J Clin Nutr. 2 007 Jun;85(6):1552-6.

    I have been snacking a lot on fruits and veggies throughout the day. It sounds pretty basic but even when I feel like I am constantly eating the calories goes up so slowly. I try to keep other meals and snacks low calorie too. The scale seems to be moving in the right direction by doing this. :)

    I thought a 1/4 tsp of cinnamon normalized your blood sugar so wouldn't it be a suppressant ??? I'm just asking bcuz trying not to snack after 8 has been hard for me too...especially the first two weeks I started on MFP. It's A LOT better for me now and I think it's because I am making sure I eat foods I know will fill me....no sugar or caffeine after 5 pm and water....If I have a bad night where I am climbing the walls for a snack I try to check my stats and see where my body is lacking...i.e. if my calcium is low I have some milk...or if my Vitamins are low I try to have a fruit of veggie that is higher in that vitamin to bring my numbers up. I am trying to balance my diet as best I can.

    Good luck, great question!

    I eat when I'm hungry,. but fill it with good foods like chicken and veggies.. which I have all pre-made at the beginning of the week... I have my meals planned for certain times of the day so I never actually get hungry. On the rare occasion i feel hungry before bed and do not have the spare calories to eat, i just cook up some frozen veggies, throw on some season salt and garlic pepper.. and viola! Food that I can stuff myself with, feel satisfied, and not feel guilty!!

    On another note, you may be lacking a vitamin or mineral which may make you feel cravings....

    Maybe for you, but I find that cinnamon gum is an excellent appetite suppressant with no medical side effects. Adding a little cinnamon to my food makes me feel fuller, fill up faster, and feel full longer. (say THAT three times fast, I dare ya!)

    A hard boiled egg, glass of water and an apple. That's my go to before I go out to a restraunt, or if brushing my teeth or chewing gum isn't cutting it when it's later in the evening. Sure its a few calories, but better then chowin down on fatty high calorie snacks right?!

    Maybe for nothing.

    Try Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on Playstation 3. I once sat down of an evening for a quick 5 minute battle, before I knew what was what, I had played all the way through dinner time until the middle of the night, by which time I was too tired to cook.

    honestly? caffeine.

    Although caffeine is medically an appetite suppresant, it might have other effects when taken in the evening. Particularly if it causes someone to stay up longer into the night, exposing themself to the temptation of boredom-eating. Might be worth keeping this in mind.

    Phentermine! It honestly makes you not even think aboutfood... Which leads to much better food choices. Many people are against the pills, but you asked and it works wonders! I get it from a dr. Was smaller after I had two babies then I was in high school.

    I don't recommend this at all, but when I took ADD meds like ridilin/focalin, i had no appetite and I'd eat about 1 meal a day.
