Does coffee suppress hunger for you? I've found that it does for me.

    It actually makes me hungrier at first. But it goes away pretty fast. It does not suppress my hunger at all :cry: .

    Drinking fluid in general suppresses hunger.

    As someone else stated: any liquid should help you suppress hunger.

    The only thing you should worry about with coffee is that tea/coffee (caffeine in general) will inhibit some vitamins and minerals.

    No, but I eat three good-sized meals per day so I am not really looking for or needing an appetite suppressant. My meals are enough to keep me satisfied until the next meal.

    I think it does to a certain extent, but I can't say for sure. Last year, before I started changing up my diet, I could easily have just a coffee for breakfast and not feel hungry through the morning, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work that way for me now! But if I get a bit peckish mid-morning and can't grab a snack, a long black usually tides me over until lunch.

    Right now no...when I'm not PMSing it will curb my desire for anything sweet at night if its a good flavorful coffee with a nice creamer in it. One cup is only about 70 calories and makes a great dessert.

    Any warm drink suppresses hunger for a little bit for me. I like to drink tea, keeps me full but doesn't get me wired. :)
