Coffee = Appetite supressant?

Honestly forget where I learned it, but yes, coffee is an apatite suppressant.

This goes for regular ol' cup of joe. I do not know about the frou frou 900 cal drinks at Starf*cks.

When I go to Starbucks, I order, depending on the purpose, one of the following:

1) Coffee. Regular coffee. With non-fat milk. (appetite suppressant, comforting drink, morning drink) Either unsweetened or Splenda.
2) Cafe Latte. This is just coffee with a little more milk in it. I drink it either unsweetened or with Splenda.
3) Chai Tea Latte "skinny" - Treat or dessert!

I avoid the frou frou stuff, unless you consider a Chai to be that. But that's not for appetite suppression. For that, regular COFFEE. The dark stuff.

I'm more hungry after drinking coffee. To me, it feels like it rips through my system burning up all my energy (which is why I'm twitchy after drinking a cup) and then I feel exhausted and hungry 45minutes to an hour later.

I didn't read the comments because I'm feeling lazy today so this has probably been said already. I don't know if it officially is an appetite suppressant, but it definitely is for me. On days I drink coffee I have trouble getting over 1200 calories regardless of exercise, on days I don't, I eat anywhere between 1500 and 2000 calories depending on exercise.

Stimulants will suppress your appetite. That is why tobacco companies used to market cigarettes as a way to get thin, because nicotine is a stimulant. Like caffeine, Ritalin and meth. Not saying to use those for dieting, but as with those you can build a tolerance and it will not be as effective if used too much.

My coffee suppresses my appetite. Today I had it around 9 and all's I've eaten is a banana (ate it at 12, only because I was bored..)

Caffeine is a diuretic, so be careful using it as an appetite suppressant. I'm not saying don't use it, just understand how the mechanics work. You need to replace the fluids the diuretic effect the coffee is having on you, which means drinking extra water a little later on.

The appetite suppression effects of caffeine will dwindle over time, but the diuretic effect will not. Many people have a great deal of difficulty differentiating hunger and thirst, and will eat something when in fact their body is calling for water.

Only if consumed in large quantities. The amount of caffeine vs. the liquid does nothing for your average drinker. Such a myth that no one bothers to research.
