Appetite Suppressants

Self control is free.

Gg Scandinavian Crisp bread is really filling. I bought some the other day and it really hit the spot! There is so much fiber in it and very low in cals. I need to get me some more...Oh, and I got it from Whole Foods, but I am sure you can find it online somewhere. I am telling you, try it out..and it is good for you too.

i started adding chia seeds to my diet last monday. by friday, i was struggling to meet my calorie requirement.

Lemon water when you first wake up before you eat. Idk if this really does help or if it is a mind over matter thing.

Self control. You're going to have to use it eventually if you want to lose weight and actually keep it off... so why not start now?

Hi, This will not be the post you wanted to get. 15 years ago, I tried an appetite suppressant to lose weight. I probably went from 160 to 135. Granted it was ephedra and not caffeine, but the end result is the same. I also had a friend who did Phen/Fen at the same time. We both got great results. We both went off of them when we realized what they were doing to us. Then we both gained 75 to100 pounds over the next decade as our appetites spiraled out of control. The moral of the story is there is no such thing IMO as "help to get you started" to lose weight. It is a fairy tale. Because when you get off of whatever magic product you choose to take, your own body takes over again. Unless you plan on taking that magic product for the rest of your life. IT still comes down to doing the work. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY OUT.

My sister did HCG drops. Got gall bladder issues. Sure she lost 30 pounds quickly and then gained 15 pounds quickly. Now she has gallbladder health concerns and is trying her best to do things the right way now.

I really urge you to eat healthfully. When I stopped eating white flour and sugar my junk food cravings went away. I was a sugar junkie even eating sugar with a spoon if nothing "good" was around.

Through good old fashioned hard work, and tears, I went from 205 pounds to 136.8 (today) and a size 16 to a size 4 - 6. Regardless of the fact that it has taken me 5 years, do you know how empowering that is to let you know that I have done this all by myself? No help from any pill, any doctor, any nutritionist, any personal trainer? Just me, myself, and I! I read You on a Diet from Dr. Oz, and then EAT to LIVE by Dr. Fuhrman. I have never felt more confident or powerful in my life. I don't know how old you are but I am 54 and started all of this weighing 205 on the brink of menopause. So don't let anyone tell you that "at your age" it is impossible. It is possible! It is difficult and takes a lot of determination but it is possible. If it were easy, everyone would be thin!

Best of luck to you!

Most appetite suppressants are also stimulants, and I generally try to avoid stimulants for heart-health purposes. (I don't even ingest caffeine any more, a very occasional cup of tea excepted) It's really a mind over matter thing -- you're capable of curbing your own appetite.

i find ignoring the feelings until proper eating time normally helps and drinking lots of water

I drink lots of water, and sometimes some green tea, and both seem to help me feel fuller. I don't know how much of that is mind over matter, but it seems to keep me from mindlessly snacking if I drink a glass of water or green tea instead of eating something when I think I'm hungry for no reason.

self control.
green tea.
lots of water
black coffee. decaf works too.

Awesome, motivational story and advice. Thank you!

Bee Pollen. It is all natural and has many other benefits other than suppressing appetite. I used it when I stopped smoking because I could not stop eating. When spring rolled around, I noticed I did not have my typical pollen allergy symptoms.

For suppressing appetite, I took 2 capsules on an empty stomach a few minutes before I ate breakfast and lunch. This way I was sure to get my nutrition in me but gave the pollen time to get into my system.

I also use the royal jelly in honey for energy, its crazy good! When I do my walk/run out side I pass by dozens of restaurants that smell delicious. Even if I am not hungry these smells can me me feel like I am starving all of a sudden. By taking the royal jelly or bee pollen before I leave, this does not happen.

There are so many health benefits to list here, please feel free to google it.

Susan - that is practically my story! I agree 100% with you, I was on phen fen and didn't have any health problems, lost 100 but slowly gained it back over the last 10 years. i am also following Dr Fuhrman's way of eating and for sure, filling up on veggies, fruit and grains is working!!

Last week i bought a fresh pineapple, and for some reason, i ate one big slice and it filled me up totally. not sure what's in pineapple, but it worked and i wasn't trying to suppress my appetite - it just happened.
