Hi,

I'm a huge tea drinker. But I was maybe thinking that there might be some teas out there that can help to suppress the appetite. I was wondering if anyone of you out there knew anything and could make any recommendations. Thanks.

    I find any hot drink helps create that feeling of being full. I drink a lot of tea too. I can't think of one specific kind that is more of an appetite suppressant than the others. As long as you log what you put in your tea, there is no harm in drinking as much as you want :wink:

    I found that when I drink a glad of cold water and a cup of green tea with lemon I eat almost half of what I usually do AND green tea boosts your metabolism and energy!

    Green Tea definitely suppresses the appetite! Its BEST to drink it pure (dont add milk,sugar,etc.) so you can get all the natural antioxidants! It really does boost your metabolism which results in you feeling warm all day.

    Hot tea sweetened with stevia is nice!
    As far as herbs go, I have tried using hoodia herb, and thought it really worked to suppress the appetite! It is in capsules, and I think it was the extract.

    Green Tea: has number of antioxidents in it. Green tea found the properties that can contribute to weight loss .The green tea causes an increase in leptin, a chemical that controls appetite.
    Porangaba:Porangaba is another kind of tea that has been promoted as an appetite suppressant.
    Pu-erh:Teas such as pu-erh and oolong tea claim to have enzymes that provide nutrients or act as appetite suppressants.

    Well this is not the answer you are looking for BUT.

    There are many herbal stuff you can buy from farmacies or bio stores(including these miracle teas) but they are not necessarily healthy, + they can get quite addictive. Several of my acquaintances had personal experience with them. After they stopped drinking it they suddenly became super hungry and binged all the weight lost right back.

    Sooo Im not sure if making yet another addiction is the right way to go, it will just cause a dent in your wallet and a lot of frustration (or worse) in the long run.

    Instead my suggestion would be to eat bulkier meals with less calories, something that is more fulfilling then your current diet, yet with the same net calories.

    I know you were looking to buy grapes and im offering oranges but I think its the right way to go . :) Im also interested in other people's experience with this.

    Yogi teas are great! Choco, choco chili and Mint snack tea are my favourites, they really help with boredom hunger. I also drink a lot of fruit teas that taste great and help me drink more.

    I agree with this. I drink tea not to supress my appetite, but because I like it and it warms me up in chilly months, but I do find that in general drinking any hot teas does make me feel less hungry. I like green tea, and any fruity teas :)

    These are ridiculous comments. Are you really so awesome that you don't need any tricks to help stave off a snack attack? We are talking about TEA here, you know, sort of like water, only hot and with a little bag? SMH at the things people will comment on just to be snarky.

    In their defense, not all the commenters are talking about tea. I saw a few replies that recommended Hoodia and other "herbal" appetite suppressants. I am not saying this to be snarky...I actually think tea is great. I would just state to make sure you are looking at the ingredients and nutrition info of the tea....some add crap that adds calories and if not logged could cause issues.

    I dont drink much tea but when im cutting and trying to supress my appetite I drink black coffee, occasionally green tea or just warm/hot water. Taking small and slow sips helps me as well.

    I agree with that, but the comment above asked why one would need to use LIQUIDS to trick oneself into being sated. Liquids like tea and water are the oldest and safest tricks in the book.

    Another vote for green tea! I drink it with breakfast and lunch and it definitely helps. My only issue is I can't have it with dinner or I am awake all night. I lost my first 80lbs on the 17 day diet. It recommends drinking water with fresh lemon when you wake up and green tea with every meal. It does work! I am hypothyroid and have never lost more than 1/4 lb a week. This was the only thing I changed and started dropped 2-3 a week.

    I do love green tea, especially matcha. But I find that any amount of any green tea makes my brain to busy when I try to sleep at night!! But I drink any other kind and really find it helps to satisfy me, usually herbal (as opposed to camellia sinensis). It's great either between meals, or with a meal. I've never seen hoodia included in a tea form, but that herb does work to suppress appetite.

    I'm definitely in the mind tricking phase, lol. If I don't trick my mind into satiety, I will keep over eating. I guess its really retraining. With that said, Green Teas from Salada with flavors (Mango, pomegranate, etc) have been fun.

    Republic of Tea actually makes a tea called "Get Lost". Best tea ever. Doesn't need sugar, can be cold, or hot. Highly recommend it for curbing cravings.

    1730 calories. The problem is I used to snack between meals and what not. And so I go hungry but the tea is helping somewhat.

    I love amazon reviews that's how I found them. And some of my friends who have drank them in the past raved about them, so I'm looking forward to getting them next week. :)

    Fennel tea is supposed to be a natural appetite suppressant and is quite pleasant it helps with digestion as does peppermint tea. Also tea with cinnamon as that is supposed to reduce sweet cravings and help balance your blood sugar levels.

    Sometimes, when I crave something sweet and satisfy it with tea, the craving goes away.

    My go-to is either white blueberry or Tazo baked cinnamon apple, both with stevia. Blueberry tastes like blueberry pie, and the cinnamon apple tastes like cinnamon apple! I need to try adding cinnamon sticks in when I brew the cinnamon apple.

    It's too late for this year, but Trader Joe's has some amazing seasonal teas too. Cinnamon Tempest and Pumpkin Spice are both great hot or cold, and you can add stevia or not.

    Good luck!

    Okay the reason I made this topic is because I wanted to take an appetite suppressant because I have problems with being hungry in between meals. However, I didn't want to take pills and was wondering if there were natural teas out there that would do the trick that would be healthy. I also have a problem of a sweet tooth too ;)

    I'm glad to see some of the teas that I had picked out based on web searches are what some of you are using and with good effect. I also have some new ideas too.

    I'd rather be filled up on tea or water than on calories I have overeaten.... :)

    -_- It's not always about the number of calories. Sometimes it is because your bored, stressed, etc.

    Well my Yogi teas are here with some more teas. I'm enjoying them greatly. My Republic of Teas including the Get Lost tea should be here next week. Thank you all for your recommendations and input.

    God bless you all.
