What's safe & maybe works a little, not including caffeine?

I am a food monster now I've quit smoking :(

    I'm gonna go with the obvious answer here and say food.

    Keep some low cal snacks on hand for when the cravings hit (some fruit/veg is ideal) maybe some popcorn etc.

    Im not sure of any natural suppressants,

    but i recently purchased these chewy bars that curb my hunger forever it seems.

    Theyre called Slimfulls, they sell them in the diet section of walmart

    You eat one, then drink 8oz of water.

    If I eat a protein with a healthy fat I'm full for hours.

    boiled egg and an apple and that knocks mine on the head - not hungry for ages

    Protein shake is good too

    Water is the best natural appetite suppressant out there.

    I find that my appetite is sometimes triggered by smell and flavors, so since I never crave an apple, if I eat one when I'm "hungry," it changes. Add water and green tea as others have said. Green tea really does help.

    I should start drinking more myself!!

    Skip breakfast. It will suck for a couple days, but will do the trick long term

    Thanks for chiming in everyone! Water sounds good, but, does it really work for longer than half an hour? Does it mean spending loads more time in the loo? Because I am eating steaks - whole cows, practically - and it's not enough.

    Food - hilarious, yeah. My macros are good. My calories are NOT, I've been eating 1000-2000 over, every day, since I quit a few weeks ago. I've gained 8 lbs. I do NOT want to gain back the full 60 I lost two and a bit years ago (via eating 1800, btw; maintained at 2000-2300 for 2 years.) Starvation isn't an issue.

    foods high in fiber will keep you feeling more satiated. add some brown rice or whole grains in there.
