pills for hunger control?

Why do you need to lose weight so fast? It's possible if you are morbidly obese, but otherwise, you should probably set a more realistic goal and chat with your doctor. Healthy weight loss is usually 1 pound a week.

There ARE appetite suppressants that your doctor can prescribe you.

Some other ideas are to eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber, because this will help you feel full longer without the calories. Some people also use water as a way to curb hunger.

If you are hungry between meals, you might need to be eating smaller meals more often or small snacks. That'll help keep your metabolism burning strong as well for a more sustainable weight loss.

Revise your meal plan so you are eating smaller meals, every 3 hours:
breakfast
snack
lunch
snack
dinner
snack

not less than EIGHT 8 oz. glasses of WATER/daily (more if possible).

Stay away from sweets as much as possible. If you have something sweet for breakfast, for example, you may end up with a blood sugar rebound effect. Take in more protein for breakfast, lunch and dinner and you'll be less hungry. Avoid all soda pop completely...diet sodas will make you FAT.

Pills are not the answer. HCG will destroy your body, your organs (liver, kidneys, etc.). Extremely dangerous!

30lbs in 55 days is a risky goal. That is losing a pound a day/every other day. The guidelines for healthy weight loss is no more than 1.5 to 2 lbs a week. Losing too fast can put you at greater risk to gain it back once you stop your tight regime. It is not impossible, but just know the risk.

Is there a medical reason why you need to lose that much weight so fast? As much as those pills may work for some, there are so many other side effects and monetary costs that go into it that are not worth it at all. Many people I know actually end up gaining it all back before they even blink (okay maybe not that fast).

I am not sure what you are eating but slowly, if you take the time, your body will adjust to your new eating habits if you stick with small meals and snacking and staying within the range of calories that you need for your body. As I started out, I actually found myself not to be hungry as I fed myself the correct portions and at the correct time.

If you need any help, let me know and I can help with a meal plan as that is the best way to start off when you aren't sure what to eat and feel that food is your biggest obstacle.

Diet pills aren't miracle workers... just a fad to get companies to get your money.

Mega T green tea pills, you take one in the morning, and one in teh afternoon. i take them and they help a lot!!! Plus they have green tea in them which is a metabolism booster. Available at walmart for the low low price of 5.99, almost cheaper than a tank of gas. lol

I don't want to sound like a downer, but 30 pounds in 55 days is bordering on unhealthy, unmaintainable weight loss. Even if you lose 3 pounds a week (which is 50% above what is recommended) you're sitting at 23.4 pounds lost. Be careful with your health.

I agree with this comment. It really depends on how much you weigh, however...this is still a large amount of weight to lose. Your health is more important than your weight and doing it the proper way will help keep the weight off for longer. The debate over diet pills still exists..however, I would advise you not to buy anything over the internet and contact your GP for further info.

You cannot trust pills distributed via the internet.

Good Luck :flowerforyou:

The thing that wrecks weightloss is impatience! Be determined and patient and the results will soon show :flowerforyou:

Phentermine!!! But you have to get it from a doc, sometimes there are medical weight loss clinics that prescribe them.....***ducks and covers*** That's the only thing that will get you to lose that much in that little of time...

I am on a prescription of Phentermine, which is really NOT for everyone. Plenty of side effects! easily agitated, hyper, etc.

But it is really effective, I'm down 43 pounds in 3 months.

Haha, I like your pics....and your quotes!!

First off, your goal is very unrealistic/unhealthy. You'll be losing a lot of muscle mass as well as fat. I'm no biology expert so I won't go into details about why it's unhealthy, but I do know you'll gain it all back in very little time.

I agree with what everyone else says...pills are not the way to go. This is just my personal opinion, but I see them as a tool for people with weak will and no willpower. If you want to lose weight, you have to be prepared to make sacrifices.

That being said. eat plenty of foods high in fiber. Fiber gives you the feeling of being full without eating a lot. Celery is great, it's mostly water, and you actually burn more calories digesting it than you get from the celery itself. Other good ones are bran cereal, most types of beans, and raspberries. Almonds are good too, and those are good to snack on, if you can keep it to a finite amount. Also, bananas and grapefruit. I mean, who doesn't like those?

Another tip is, as previously stated, go to the 6 small meals a day plan, while still staying within your calorie and macronutrient limits. It takes a little more planning throughout your day, but it's well worth it. I have noticed a great decrease in my appetite since starting this.

My third tip that has helped me, drink lots of water. I mean, LOTS OF WATER. I haven't measured how much I'm drinking yet, but it's probably over the 8 cup a day minimum. It really helps to curb the appetite though, and it helps your body get rid of the waste it produces more efficiently.

Sorry this is so long, but this is all stuff that has worked for me. I hope it helps.
