Appetite suppressants

I wouldn't go down the 'pills' route if I were you!

Make sure you keep hydrated (i.e. 8 large glasses of water a day) and if you feel hungry, try chewing low calorie/low sugar chewing gum.

has anyone tried Sensa? I keep seeing that advertised but don't know much about it.

Fibre definitely supresses hunger.

My senior year of high school I decided to take appetite suppressants (all natural ingredients) in order to fit in my prom dress. The pill not only curbed my hunger, but it also flushed every ounce of water weight out of my body and nearly tripled my sweat production during workouts. I lost a drastic amount of weight within 3 weeks. That all sounds good and well, but I assure you that it wasn't! The minute I stopped taking the pills, my weight ballooned. I gained all of it and MORE back within a few days because my metabolism no longer knew how to work on its own. I felt drained of energy and irritable. Also, the pills caused my body to be so dehydrated that I retained water like it was my job. I was so bloated from my body seemingly holding onto every drop of water it could that I felt like a walking water balloon...I could literally hearing the sloshing of liquids in my body every time I made any sort of movement.

Long story short: while the "pill route" appears great in the beginning, I assure you that the damage is not worth it. Not to mention, it is a lot more self satisfying when you know you've dropped the weight the healthy and right way. I always felt guilty about taking the pills and could never be truly happy when people noticed a difference in me. Now I know that my weight loss is contributed to hard work and eating right, and I feel proud of myself. Just something to think about...

has anyone tried Sensa? I keep seeing that advertised but don't know much about it.

I tried SENSA but not long enough to see any results. At first I started feeling full like it said I was suppose to but then those were only for like large meals. It's suppose to help with portion control and since I already eat my portions, I felt that SENSA wasn't working for me. I wasn't feeling the "fullness" when I ate my portion sizes vs. the bigger meals. I stopped using it because I was eating everything just because SENSA said that I could. I had gotten out of my whole routine of logging my foods but I still exercised 4x a week. I only used it for about a week or two and then I thought about the fact that I had already lost like 20+ pounds without it so I figured it was a waste of money for me. I had to hurry and send it back before my trial ended and $90 end up being debited from my account. I can't say if it works or not but I tried it.

I have taken Tenuate (75mg once daily). It worked really well for me. The first week I lost about 5 pounds without doing anything. The only thing is that you have you pretty much double your water intake because it does make you dehydrated. When I went off it I only gained 3 pounds back of the 15 pounds I lost while on it. Drinking was is absolutely the Key here. Talk with your doctor before taking anything. My doctor decided that trying Tenutate was worth it for me and that my body was healthy enough to take it.

I've been recommended to try calorie cycling - there's a thread on here already, with lots of useful informations and links. It seems a much better solution than pills of any kind.

Although I'm under my calorie goal, I feel like I am eating too much sometimes. I count everything I eat and sometimes will add more calories than I think I am taking in if I can't measure it. I drink water all of the time, at least 4 glasses every day. I guess I am just getting frustrated this week and am looking for a cure! I'm constantly weighing myself and I know I shouldn't. I'm just so determined to get the weight off and don't want to get stuck.

What is your net calorie intake like, on average? Because if you go too low you may stop losing as a result. You don't have to eat all your exercise cals, or even any of them, but if you're not having as many calories as you should and then not eating your exercise calories on top of that, it may well scupper your plans!

When i was younger I took them and never realized how mean they made me. What happens is that your personality changes when your metabolic balances change! Anyway, when they wore off then I was very hungry. I do not think that they are good for your heart. Are you drinking 1/2 of your body weight in water! Oh that is what keeps me losing. a couple of days I did not do it and my loss slowed way down. Hang in there and do not give up!!! One other thing I learned in Food Addicts Recovery is that females should not weigh mnore than once a monthe! It is hard to do I know!!! Best wishes!!!

The best appetite suppressant I ever found was switching to a diet that removed processed food.
If you make up your diet with mostly whole foods there's a good chance you won't find it necessary to resort
to pills.

It's what has worked for me.

Green tea is amazing. I 100% say go that way
But if you finally reach a point where green tea doesnt work
Id have to say the only weightloss drug that will ever work is duromine.

You have to be quite big and get a perscription from a doctor.
I am on duromine at the moment because i was lucky enough to find a way around it.
I wouldnt suggest it if you care about your health tho hahah
The side effects are horrible.
