    Default How do diet pills suppress appetite?

    I know that ephedra is an appetite suppressant, but many diet pills w/out ephedra (or hoodia) are claimed to suppress the appetite. How do they do this?

    I know that caffeine does it, but if it were the main ingredient to do so, wouldn't people just be loading up on coffee?

    Specifically, I'm talking about Hydroxycut Hardcore (which I just purchased) and Zantrex 3.

    My guess would be that uppers like cocaine, caffeine, ephedra, etc. suppress whatever neurotransmitter the brain sends out to say, "Yo, feed me!". (Or, releases the one that tells you you're full?)
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.
