Anyone know any good hunger suppressants?

Totally agree!! Real protein and low carbs work for me. If I have a hungry day I start the next day with a double serving of oatmeal with flax seed. For some reason - this really seems to get me off to a good start and not go into the over-hungry mode.

Drinking a protein shake not only suppresses your hunger, but it recovers your muscles after you've done a workout and increases the rate which you loose weight. It's not required that you only drink protein shakes after activity, so go ahead and replace any meal with a protein shake.

great, now somebody's going to read this and think that it's true.

You can try shakeology. It helps with cravings, replaces a meal and helps you lose weight. I use it while doing Combat. The chocolate is delicious!

LOL right?!

The thing about carbs is that they get digested really quickly, so that is why if you eat them you will get hungry in a hurry. Try switching carbs for proteins. Also sugar, and artificial sweeteners, are addictive and are the major cause of cravings. Cravings can sometimes be mistook for hunger. If you feel hungry eat a small fruit and see if it goes away. Eventually sugar won't have an effect on you anymore.

Not trying to be a DB but....

Sooooo my sweet potato, broccoli and rock candy are all digesting at the same rate?
I'm ****ed.

BTW the small fruit may put her over the fructose for the day...damn carbs!
;D

Seriously, why even post this?

housework i tend to find cleaning other people's houses 5/6 a day helps no time to think about eating lol

food, in general, suppresses hunger.
more specifically, fiber, fat, and protein - not necessarily in that order

^^^ this

if you're eating at a sensible deficit (i.e. enough to fuel your body, but still less than you burn off so you lose fat), you may feel a little hungry from time to time, that's just how it is. However extreme hunger and obsessing about food all the time is usually a sign that you're not eating enough. Recalculate your calories, and be honest with yourself about your activity factor. If you are active, then put that as your activity factor. there's nothing to be gained from eating too little, doing that tends to result in big drops in scale weight (which won't all be fat), then a plateau, and in many cases regaining the weight again when you go back to eating a normal amount of food. Taking fat loss more slowly by eating more means that although the weight loss is slower, it's much more likely to be pure fat that you're losing. You don't feel starved/deprived all the time, so you find it easier to stick to it in the long term. You may take longer to get there, but you're far more likely to be able to maintain your goal weight for life, which is what the vast majority of people really want. So it's definitely worth reviewing your calories and seeing how much you can eat and still lose weight, then you won't feel so hungry all the time.

because excessive hunger is usually caused by eating too little. you don't have to be starving hungry 24/7 to lose weight.

Apples I promise you!!!! i eat when bored but if i have an apple especially when I eat one that is sliced instead of whole....i am stuffed for hours it is so weird....this will work.....eat gala apples, they're yummy:)

For me it's coffee with unsweetened soymilk in the morning! Cut out diet sodas, sugarfree gum, and anything artificially sweet and you'll see your cravings go waaay down.
I also love to keep cucumbers on hand because I have a veggie shredded that turns it into long strips, then I can marinate it in soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, basil and balsamic vinegar, etc! Keep lots of watery fruits and veggies around so you can fill your belly with them, then have the calorie-dense stuff after! It's a great strategy to trick your body into thinking you filled up on steak/pasta/etc when actually it's mostly fiber.:)

When your cravings hit, don't go for compact calories like trail mix, pb, bread, etc. Instead blend up a fruit smoothie with fruit, ice, and stevia (until your taste buds get used to having less sugar), and it will fill you up for hours so you won't grab the food that made you gain weight in the first place.

I hope I could help!

Cooked green beans, cooked carrots and cooked brokkoli. Seriously, one piece fills me up so much it's crazy. Could eat them all day and be stuffed while eating super little calories: But then my body craves all the stuff it's been missing out, so just some general advice of 'hunger suppressants'- don't over do it. Stop the random cravings, not the actual hunger which is your body telling you that there is need for something. I hope this is somewhat helpful

Like, duh. But that is obviously not the information the person asking this questions was looking for. Pretty sure that most people are already aware that eating will relieve hunger. Also pretty sure that when someone posts a question about suppressing appetite in a diet and weight loss forum that they are wanting to do so in order to be able to eat less. Just a guess.

Apparently someone deleted my post about 5-HTP. Granted, this is my very first day here so maybe I am missing some rule, but what is wrong with 5-HTP? It's a natural amino acid that they sell at health food stores to help with depression and insomnia. It also decreases appetite in some people. If there is something wrong with my post, please tell me.

Intermittent Fasting. Read the FAQs in the IF group here or Google it.

There also are prescription suppressants but you usually have to be morbidly obese for a doctor to give you one.
