Appetite suppressant anyone??

I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to either take them for the rest of your life or put the weight back on when you stop taking them. If hunger is that much of a problem then you're probably not eating enough. Losing weight too quickly makes it harder to keep it off in the long term, plus the fact that the stricter you are when losing weight the harder it is to stick to in the long term. IMO long term sustainable changes and aiming for slow and steady fat loss is better, firstly because you don't have to deal with feeling hungry and deprived, and secondly because it greatly increases your chances of keeping the fat off long term. And also, why take the route of hunger and deprivation when so many have succeeded without having to deprive themselves? It may take longer, but it's much easier to maintain when you get there.

If your calorie goal is set to the right level for you to lose weight slowly and steadily, and you're feeding your body properly (i.e. enough protein, healthy fat, vitamins, minerals etc) and you've eaten all your calories for the day but are still hungry, then snacking on something that's very low in calories like salad vegetables or have a cup of herbal tea or something, really helps, i.e. you feel full but are taking in very few extra calories.

i tried the prescription pills i lost 30 pounds in a month put the weight back on in two months and gained even more in the months to come ,

It depends on what you mean -- if it's pills, I second the opinions above. But if it's low-cal foods/drink that help curb your appetite, I have good luck with herbal tea. The flavor encourages me to drink more water than I otherwise would, which makes me feel full. I also do little side salads a lot. The veggies are bulky and low-cal, so 50-100 cals fills me up a lot more than it would if it were, say, 50-100 cals of chocolate. I'll also be careful to have an apple rather than 80 cals of processed food.

I'm not advocating ignoring your hunger and eating less than you need to. However, I used to overeat compulsively, even when I'd eaten way too much already, so suppressing is important for me as long as I know that I'm getting enough plenty of calories and nutrition. It's a self-control thing, and tea/veggies/fruit can help tremendously with that.

Good luck!

I've been wondering this myself. I have a hard time getting myself down to eating my 1200 calories and not starving all day. If I could find something to curb my appetite until I get used to the smaller amount of food, I think it would be a lot easier for me. Anyone know of any good ones?

Does anyone take any appetite suppressants in addition to watching their calorie intake to assist in weight loss? If so any good results and what do you take.

Look up Voyager V3 weight management pills. Some people frown on "diet pills" but they have worked great for me, and if you stick to your new habits after your off of them you shouldn't gain it back.

I went snooping in your food log. I realize the last 2 weeks probably aren't representative to what you typically eat (holidays, etc), but your eating is ALL over the board. Some days you are eating too much, some not enough. Some days seem very "fast food" heavy" others "sugar" heavy. I think it would help to adopt some consistent food/eating habits before considering pills.

When I was losing (and trust me there was a reason I needed to lose 40 some odd pounds, I overate, and I hardly moved), I ate 6 times a day and stuck around 1500-1600 calories EVERYDAY. If I worked out, I ate half of those back. If you eat healthy, filling stuff every 2-3 hours you won't get hungry and you won't need pills. I ate fast food, drank beer, etc, but I only did that when my other food was good for me. Plan out snacks and meals. Try not to rely on fast food so much (I've found that it makes me hungrier than what I was before). Try and cook at home. Trust me, it makes a huge difference in your hunger level...

Good luck, hon. It's hard to change habits, but it's soooo worth it!

I will send you a message!

Fiber tends to keep me full longer and fights off cravings.

I took Adipex for a few months October 2011-lost 37 pounds. As of yesterday...I had gained 40 back. Obviously it worked, but not long term, which completely defeats the purpose. So...no, it didn't work for me. Now I'm 3 pounds heavier and MAD that I let myself gain it all back. Trying it the right way this time, which will take more effort on my part and longer to acheive these goals, but it's worth it.

I'm interested in knowing what you sent to her about appetite suppression.
