      Don't use pills.

      Even if they do "work" while you are taking them, you learn nothing. Will you take these things your whole life? No. At least, I would hope not as that would be really messed up. So you need to learn what can be done WITHOUT them pills.

      In other words, you have to learn how you will live the rest of your life. And it won't be on those pills.

      ITT Op asks for the best appetite suppressant and gets trolled.

      Caffeinated drinks like coffee or diet rock-star work great.

      I have noticed a huge correlation between my hunger increasing and my TOM... (shark week.) If it is only sometimes you are having appetite issues, perhaps it is hormonal or situation.

      Oatmeal is a great appetite suppressant, imho. No joke.

      Yes, like people are saying, eat a lot of lean protein. healthy fats, and high fiber whole grains... Drinks a TON of water... Brush your teeth if you can't seem to stop eating- sometimes that's the only way I can shut off my hungry switch at night :)

      Dieting is hard! I get hungry most days too. Protein vs. carbs works, as suggested here. I find heading to the mall and trying on jeans to be the best appetite suppressant out there. I also pop a phentermine here and there on a bad hunger/craving day. I know people frown on that, but it works great. Cardio is another great idea someone posted. I try to do for myself what I do for my small child... redirect the attention from the negative behavior (enjoying a sugary treat) to something positive, be it exercise, shopping, the bath... whatever works for you.

      Fill up on the low calorie fresh fruits & veggies, low fat yogurt, etc for snacks. Drink coffee, tea, herbal teas. And silly as it sounds, keep your hands busy...knit or crochet or cross stitch etc if you enjoy it (i find I don't crave food if my hands are busy). And brushing your teeth after every meal helps, too. Ask yourself " am I hungry enough to eat an apple?" If the answer is no, than your hunger is emotional, not physical.

      I think a lot of diet pills can cause heart problems, and are essentially speed in a pill, esp if bought online.

      Throw in some chickpeas to a green smoothie and youll feel full for ages, and get a dose of protein and fiber while youre at it.

      I tried that saffron extract and it didn't work for me.

      I just rely on massive amounts of vegetables and coffee, lots of protein

      Low carb - high fat (works for me).

      thanks, I"ll focus more on diet first. And last week was my TOM, so that probably doesn't help. Also since I started insanity again my appetite has increased even more

      I hope you are taking into account the increased activity with insanity when it comes to your calories. You will need to eat more then you would otherwise to be healthy.

      I realize that, I have never eaten below 1500 net, usually a little higher.
