eat lots of protein filled foods to keep you feeling full
drink plenty of water, you can add some lemon or lime to the water to make it flavored.
if you find yourself always hungry, break up your meals into three meals with snack in between meals (breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner)
if you are craving sweets, you are not getting enough sleep
hunger suppressant pills do not work (I've tried)0 -

And we didn't even say anything remotely controversial or confrontational!

Im so with you, OP. I just love snacking! So my solution has been snacks I gotta work for. Snack bag of edimame at night watching tvhas replaced my chips, and sunflower seeds in the shell during school or while on long drives has really helped. I also took up brushing after each meal and popping in a piece of sugar free gum. Im a lot less likely to eat if I have that finished feeling of brushed teeth! (Upside? My smile is way brighter!)0

The best appetite suppressant I've ever found is food. Doctors don't want you to know about it but my mom recommended it to me a long time ago and I've been using it ever since.0

Actually, if you use certified pure oils then they are fine to ingest (with the exception of very few). That said, using them topically provides the same benefits. Crazy that people accept harsh chemicals in medicines that they are prescribed, but reject anything natural. I just don't get it.
Who ingests harsh chemicals in medicines? What exactly IS a 'harsh' chemical?0 -
Google EC stack. (Ephedrine & Caffeine) I have to force myself to eat when running it. It also give the metabolism a slight boost and acts as a thermogenic.
ephedrine has been banned by the FDA in the US since 2004. Probably good to steer clear.
Ephedra was banned. Ephedrine is available and is being used by many every day.0 -

Also, ephedra alkaloids are still available, but they are crap compared to ephedra. I miss ephedra. :sad:0 -
Coffee and green tea does the trick for me. Also sugar free gum... sometimes it is just anxiety, and I just eat for the feeling of chewing something.
Adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to my drinks does a wonderful job too.0 -
Learn to recognize bored eating vs hungry eating. If you are actually hungry, eat something. But if, like me, you often find you want to eat something because you're bored, fill it with something else. If I go to the pantry I ask myself if I'm just bored-hungry. If so, I go drink a glass of water (helps get those ounces in). That usually stops me and I go on until the next craving and repeat.
If I'm getting bored-hungry a lot it means I'm not active enough. Find a project or hobby that can fill more of your down time and you'll find you have less craving eating going on.0 -

Ephedrine is an alkaloid found in ephedra species. In other words, the substance ephedrine is an active ingredient of the plant ephedra, also known as ma huang. Although it was banned by the FDA after being linked to sudden deaths and cannot be used in FDA approved medication, it is not illegal and, yes, it can be purchased. I still think its potential for harm is greater than the benefit.0 -
i often find myself craving things all the time, no matter how much i eat. i was wondering if anyone can suggest any good ways to either distract myself from these cravings or to completely suppress them.
im not looking for foods that will fill me up btw. im just looking for ways to avoid eating completely at times when i know i shouldn't.
Water can help. Add flavor with sugar-free drops (like Mio), or tea.
Chewing gum (sugar free).
Hard candy (sugar free). Be aware that if you have too much you get the runs.
Depending on how overweight you are, your doctor might let you try phentermine. It can control the cravings until your brain & body reset themselves. Isn't supposed to be used more than 3 months at a time, due to blood pressure concerns.0 -
