What is a good one? I dont want something that claims to help me lose weight because im going to do that through diet and excercise. I just need something to help me from wanting to eat all the time even if im not hungry.

    Water.

    ETA- seriously though, water. I drink 4 liters a day. You would be suprised how often you "feel" hungry but you are really just thirsty.
    oh, and I chew gum, more for flavor. I find I just want to taste something.

    running :bigsmile:

    Proper coffee, in small quantities, and lots of water. But better still is running; it has completely taken me by surprise that it has such a strong effect.

    Green Tea without sugar or milk or small snacks...I eat about 10 almonds and wait 20 minutes if I am still starving then it's time to eat something substantial, but most of the times I am not hungry after that.

    I find that I snack a lot more if I'm bored or doing something I'm not crazy about. If I can get myself in a painting groove (I'm an artist) I don't have the urge to snack unless I'm really hungry. I also keep a large glass of water nearby at all times. Now if you're hungry a lot between meals it could be that your calorie goal isn't high enough, but if it's just mindless eating then staying occupied can help.

    Have you ever heard of "FullBars"? They worked pretty well for me. Otherwise I eat apples. They are filling and very low calorie.

    A combo of the suggestions should really help. This is one of my struggles as well. I find that healthier food choices gives you more bang for your bite so to speak. It allows you to eat larger quantities and quality.

    Well here is my experience with appetite suppressants: Anything you can buy that is not a prescription from the doctor is a joke. I have tried 20 or more supplements. NOT KIDDING. With that said, depending on your doctor here are some prescription pills that really do suppress your appetite : NUMBER ONE: and my favorite one is Aderall. NO JOKE, its not just for ADHD. make sure it is the 30mg capsules. it is expensive.. like you would not believe. some off brands work just the same. IF you get an off brand and it is pink. DONT TAKE IT. NUMBER TWO: Phentermine, there is none that you can get on the internet that will work. TRUST ME. The catch with the phentermine is it can cause high blood pressure. It didnt for me. Also some doctors refuse to presribe it. find one that can. This is on the cheaper end of the scale per month. Some doctors will only prescribe from 3-6 months and no more. NUMBER THREE: ephedrine, I used to take this waaaay back in the day. good luck finding it. used to be able to buy it at gas stations. truckers would take it to stay awake, it was also used for asthma.

    I do not take any type of prescription weight loss pill now. I REFUSE TO. HERE ARE THE FACTS: IT ****s with your body, and your mind. yes the weight will come off, but you are starving yourself. you will ruin your metabolism, NONE OF THEM are good for you in any way shape or form. BUT I knew this as well and took them to lose weight fast. I did, but let me tell you how fast the weight came back on after I was done taking them. In 6 months I lost 50 lbs... in two months I gained 65 lbs.

    It took me a very long time to realize that this is not the way to go. EVER! I have to work my ****ing *kitten* off every single day, 3 plus hours a day of exercise, and I am always eating clean. IT IS HARD! somedays suck so bad, but I still push through them. and all the damn work that I do I lose 2 lbs a week, and some weeks not at all. it is a long process, but I am happy to be doing it. Consider you options before you take any of the above pills.

    I agree with water. I have heard that for some people caffeine can act as an appetite stimulant so if you are not accustomed to it I would be careful drinking a lot of caffeinated coffee. I don't "do" any caffeine for medical reasons so I am not sure how accurate this is however.

    Depends on the type of hunger, if it's a physical one, green tea, spices, neutral-tasting foods, water never really worked for me, citrus extract, ginger, toothpaste, some exercice in order to stimulate the peptide YY hormone (which counteracts ghrelin effect - directly responsible of the hunger feeling)

    If it's a psychological one, you are doomed

    Are we talking "I'm bored and have teh munchies" or "my stomach is giving me hunger pains"? 'Cause my answer is going to be different. For the second, if your body is causing you pain over hunger, EAT SOMETHING. Something small, but just get some food.

    If it's just munchies, then you can either A) get a small snack, or B) get some green tea or water
