    Strongly flavored foods. For me, vinegary foods work best. Pickles, pickled peppers, hot peppers, etc. Totally takes away my appetite.

    Coffee

    Yeah - at least caffeine. It doesn't do anything if I'm truly hungry, but if I just want to eat out of boredom or habit it's really useful.

    Coffee for me. The "over the counter miracle appetite suppressants" are a load of bunk, though.

    Coffee, sparking water, an Apple or Banana (to stave off hunger until your actual meal), Lemon water.

    If I'm truly hungry, I eat something. I find that eating enough protein helps me to stay full longer. If I just want to eat because I'm bored then finding something to take my mind off of it helps. Usually I go for a walk.

    Since my "hungry hours" start around 3pm, 50 or 100 mg of 5-HTP before lunch 4x week help keep my appetite/carb cravings under control. **Be sure to read up on 5-HTP before starting it, since it's not safe under certain circumstances. Run it by your doc - mine recommended it. Look for a reputable brand.**

    Over the years I've tried a few prescription weight loss meds but the side effects were truly awful - not so with 5-HTP.

    I agree with others' comments about light exercise and staying hydrated. A quick walk and a glass of water help reduce the desire to eat when it's not based on actual hunger. If you really are hungry and are consuming a reasonable # of calories, then maybe look at increasing your fiber and/or fat intake?

    Coffee and gum. I like the sugar free Mentos.

    Coffee black without sugar. Then if I feel I need to eat something I usually have a tomato or some radishes because it is very low in calories and it helps me until the next meal.

    For me:

    Exercise.

    Protein.

    Fiber.

    A well rounded meal in moderation.
