how to supress food appetite?

Healthy food supresses the appetite for unhealthy food. Try lean protein and plenty of salad and veg.

This ^^^^ is so true!! Went to Vegas, had no control of my food, I was so hungry the entire trip!! Came home got back into my kitchen and hunger pains are gone

I prefer to find natural ways to feel full. What's worked best for me:

-- Drink a lot of hot tea. This really helped me yesterday. I ordered a hot mint tea at the Cheesecake Factory - delicious without honey or sugar, 0 cals - and focusing on the tea helped me avoid the bread they bring out. It helps me feel full at home, too.
-- Drink low-sodium soup. Same deal.
-- Drink a lot of water
-- Find the non-starchy veggies you like, and eat lots of those - they fill up your stomach!
-- Eat more protein & healthy fats - they fill you up much better than refined carbs do

Healthy food suppresses my appetite for unhealthy food, too. Maybe it's different for different people, but it helps me a lot! I swear unhealthy food is all really addictive, so it works best for me to just stay away from it when I can in the first place! If I'm in my own home, away from junk food and other people eating it, I don't crave it. But, cravings come back if I start eating it, around others or something... one Coke makes me want more like 6 cokes, 10 potato chips make me want 40. But zero cokes and zero people drinking coke around me makes me want... zero cokes! Ta da!

Good luck!!

My appetite has a huge impact on my weight loss.

First of all, make sure your hormones are in balance, and read all the side effects on your medications. People think that calories in versus calories out is all there is to weight loss, but honestly, there are reasons why there are so many calories going in. If I'm hungry, I will eat. Why was I always so hungry? I have some hormone issues and I had some medications that affected my appetite. I needed some trips to the doctor to get that straightened out. I still have a lot of weight to lose, but I stand a decent chance at doing it now!

Secondly, evaluate your food. Processed foods involve a lot more calories, and they digest in such a way that your energy from those foods involve a big high, and then a crash. If you find foods with more protein and fiber, you will stay fuller for longer, and you don't get big swings in your energy levels. It's more of a steady all day kind of feeling.

If you still want some ridiculous processed food that you know is going to be horrible for your weight loss goals, don't deny yourself, because that will just make you obsess about it. That doesn't mean eat a whole bag of M&Ms by yourself. That means, eat a healthy meal, drink some water, and then have a handful of candy, or half a burger, or whatever it is that you are craving. You'll find that it will take less to make you feel satisfied once you've already had some nutritious food.

This is a bit bizarre, but I take 2 Sudafed every morning for congestion. It has a secondary gain - it suppresses my appetite. I can tell a huge difference when I don't need to take it.

Sudafed are similar to amphetamines, which make you lose your appetite. They are also addictive so maybe not a great idea to take them every morning.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about taking them now and then, but every day doesn't seem right. Maybe try a neti pot for congestion.

Very unsafe!

Coffee is my new best friend! When I get to craving something sweet to eat, I brew a pot of Hazzelnut coffee. Only 5 calories and I am a happy camper. :drinker:

If you give yourself 5-7 days with no unhealthy foods, drink lots of water, your body will purge its need for unhealthy foods. You will even find after a few weeks when you eat unhealthy foods they do not taste as good. Also I take Chromium Picolinate x2 day which helps curb the need for sugar and high carb foods.

Cinnamon. Researchers have found that cinnamon may also triple the effectiveness of the natural insulin your body makes. Cinnamon itself has insulin-like activity....a bioactive component that is believed to have the potential to prevent or overcome diabetes. So put it in your food.

Apples - I consider this the best fruit to use as a snack. Each apple packs 5 grams of fiber while having the fat-fighting chemical pectin in it. 3 a day and you'll be happy!!

Okay, time to see what a little cinnamon added to my tea and hamburgers will taste like!

For me exercise is actually curbing my junk food cravings. I don't know if that is a new permanent reality or not, but I sure hope so! I was way under calories last night and actually made myself eat an ice cream bar. In the past, I have certainly never had to force myself to eat chocolate ice cream of any kind unless I was taking diet pills, and I'm not.

I have been trying KLB6 cider vinegar supplements 2 1/2 weeks ago and think they suppress the appetite. When the munchies call I also look at recipes online for healthy new meals I can make, for some strange reason it seems to fill me up just looking at the food! Reading articles about nutrition when hungry helps too, as it put's me off eating and encourages me to hang on for the next meal. You can log the times you feel hungry each day, and if a pattern emerges such as always in the afternoon, you could change the way you eat like have a bigger lunch and a smaller evening meal instead x
