    Default Anything to get rid of appetite????

    Does anyone take anything or eat anything specific that helps get rid of your appetite. It seems like most of the day I just feel like munching on stuff.. And no I'm not thirsty, i drink TONS of water throughout the day, it drives me nuts that I just can't stop eating all day long!

    Hoodia is a good herbal supplement for controlling appetite.
    Also, fiber is great for keeping your appetite in check. It like regulates glucose levels or something.

    I'm not recommending this, but ever since I started taking Effexor for depression I haven't had much of an appetite.

    Yeah. Food.

    When you're hungry, you should eat something. Just make sure it's something healthy.

    sounds like you've got a case of the boredom munchies...

    get out and do something to keep yourself occupied.

    Hoodia is good or Relacore. hoodia is a cactus from africa that they've found supresses appitite (its in trimspa but that has alot of caffnee in it, there are special pills that have just hoodia,do a websearch i dont know who carries it). relacore kinda fills your stomache so you don't eat so much (i've been taking it for a few days now, not feeling any stimulant effect but i have noticed i'm eating like a quarter of what i used to; being pretty overweight for me thats a good thing).

    also some foods are good at making you feel fuller longer, quaker oats has a special oat meal for that pourpose as well as kashi go lean crunch. things with high fiber & protien keep you fuller, also food such as apples, potatoes, lean protine (fish,white meat chicken, tofu, almonds,walnuts) brown rice, and green leafy veggies. stay away from things with alot of sugar or caffeen and diet sodas actualy make you hungry. drink lots of water, not only is it better for your health (kidneys, liver, and skin benifit greatly from lots of water) it will actualy help you feel fuller and your digestive system will be able to work better at flushing toxins.

    and if you do eat/drink dairy only use the low fat kind (soymilk is actualy better and has just as much calcium and more protien....makes you fuller)

    in my quest to get thin again i've become a diet/fitness guru i read every health & fitness mag and watch all the wellness programs on discovery and such.

    oh forgot..to keep from munching chew some gum. it was a child hood trick i used when i got hungry B4 lunch, it keeps you mouth busy and i guess your body thinks youre eating. i have read in a health magazine it is a sugessted tactic (they recomend gum with sugar though, that way you dont have a sugar crash).

    I've heard the gum thing, and also to brush your teeth when you feel hungry. Also-- if you're hungry but not munchy, have a tablespoon of peanut butter. Otherwise, look up the non-cal vegetables. I think I read somewhere once that when people want to snack, they're just looking for texture, like crunchy, which is probably why potato chips are so darned popular. I've tried substituting baby carrots, but it doesn't work for me
    What happens though (for anyone who's gone through the process) when you're on an appetite suppressant for awhile and then go off of it? Does your metabolism get fucked up, or what? I mean-- I'm not talking about crash dieting to the point of not eating anything, and then gorging on bad food afterward....I'm talking about using it to regulate your eating a little bit better and then going off of it when your weight goal is accomplished.

    Check to see what nutrients you may be lacking in your diet, or just add some multivitamins. People with deficiencies can often eat and eat and eat but never feel satisfied because what's happening is that the body is the body is trying to tell you that you need certain vitamins or minerals but in response you don't nessesarilly eat food that contains the right things.
    I hope that made sense - it's abit early in the day for me!
    On the other hand it could just be that as a dancer your burning up alot of energy and need to eat more...

    Likewise....


    I used to take Brewer's Yeast pills. Yeast + expand in stomach = not hungry.

    When I know I have bordom munchies i.e. I'm on my eating schedule but still roaming around the kitchen.... I heat up a cup of water drop in a low sodium chicken broth cube and a couple pinches of red cayenne pepper.... trust me drink this & you won't be hungry for hours!

    Ok, I'm definitely a freak b/c all of the things mentioned here (Kashi Go Lean Crunch, oatmeal, water, gum, brushing your teeth) makes me hungrier. I swear, I can stuff my face with a ton of food, but once I brush my teeth, my stomach starts growling and I've just gotta eat...
    I guess I'll go eat worms...

    protein and veggies keep you from feeling hungry. i go for fish and nuts; if you eat meat - more options . sugar and carbs (well guess same as carbs convert to sugar) make you hungry fast cuz they raise blood sugar level, hence cravings.

    I've posted this in other threads, but nothing about appetite i dont think? Anyways, I used to take these things called hot rox, and they were amazing...They give you lots of energy and make your appetite almost obsolete. You can still eat on them though, and you SHOULD eat on them!!! Don't over do them lol. That and DO NOT drink while taking them.... If you want more info let me know, otherwise go for it, the are awesome!
