Can't stand being hungry - good appetite suppressants?

Hi all,

I'm trying really hard to cut back on my portion sizes, but I'm always
hungry! I really hate that feeling. Is there a good appetite
suppressant out there now that PPA is gone? I do moderate exercise 3-4
days a week, but I eat too much, so I need something to help me out
while I get used to eating less.

Thanks!

caffeine works for me. A cup of coffee or a diet coke... Some herbal teas
have an appetite suppressing quality.

Water, water, and more water. It always works for me, plus it's good for your body.

Personally, I would never take appetite depressants. I very seldom
feel hungry on the 1500 calories it takes for me to lose weight well.

What are you eating? Did you know that within the same number of
calories you can maximise the filling foods, like plenty of fruit and
veg and things with a good fibre content?

More exercise and lots of fiber.

The water idea never did much for me. Works for others though.

The biggest tip is to try cutting back on carbs. A good dose of carbs
makes many people (including me) ravenously hungry later on.

Try eating whole unprocessed foods. Eat a can of tuna, as is, and I
bet by the end you won't be hungry for more. Eat whole fruits. Eat an
entire box of frozen spinach microwaved, bet you won't want more
afterwards.

Versus drinking a glass of orange juice instead of a whole orange
(with its fiber). VERY hungry later. Eating a tasty mayo-tuna sandwich
with bread - become very hungry for more of the same later, versus
just the can of tuna.

This isn't average American eating, but it works...

I have never had this reaction to carbs, though I know some people do.
I limit carbs a bit just to keep calories down, but they never make me
hungry later. I would be more filled up by a tuna sandwich than just
the tuna (given the same amount of tuna), but I'd be more likely to
eat the can of tuna because I want the protein and I couldn't really
fit the whole 5 oz. of tuna into a sandwich, and if I did it would be
too much to finish, I think. (One of my favorites is to mix the can
of tuna with some crushed peanuts, cut-up grapes or apples, and
no-calorie blue cheese dressing.)

I think upping your fiber is an excellent way to combat hunger. Also,
eating smaller and more frequent meals might help. If there's a
particular time of day you get hungry, you might need to restructure
your eating schedule a bit so you can eat something more at that time.

I've found drinking grapefruit juice (8oz) before a meal is reducing
my appetite. I drink 24 oz's a day. Another way to reduce appetite is
to reduce the variety of foods you eat. Finally, eating 30 grams of
fiber daily may help reduce your appetite.

Are you trying to eat for nutrition or make yourself hate food?

It sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that food is a bad
thing and should not be eaten.
