What’s the best way to suppress appetite, natural or otherwise?
I feel like I am ravenous all the time! I’m sure it has a lot to do with stress and anxiety but I have tried ways to releive those without eating…nothing works. No matter what, I am hungry too often. I need something to help me curb my appetite and cravings effectively because it’s getting out of my control!

Have some self discipline for gods sake.
That’s a good question. I feel the same way you do so I will be paying close attention to this question. Sorry I can’t help but thanks for asking it!
Try eatting the zone bars or any fitness bar that is full of protien the protien will make you less hungary and then the flavor will help you to think you are eating something bad for you, but my husband and I love the zone bars they taste like a real candy bar they are great and they fill you up!

not that i recomend it, but if your not bothered about it being natural, then amphetamine (speed) is an extreamly strong appetite suppresser. also it’s a thermogenic so it burns body fat as well. it’s not really a long term solution though.
if you go to a gym and ask for an E.C.A stack that is proberly a better option (google it and i’m sure you’ll find loads of info).
one last thing, have you considered just changing the sort of food your eating? if you stop eating refined sugars and processed carb’s as well as things like hydrogenated fats and start eating more lean proteins and essential fats then you can pretty much eat as much as you like.
good luck!
You have to start being conscious of the hunger/anxiety/stress link. Soothing yourself with food doesn’t solve the anxiety or the stress it only increases your stress and anxiety later. If you can become more aware that you feel miserable after caving to binges or overeating then you’re less likely to want to repeat it. Distract yourself when this happens. Take a walk, talk to a friend, drink some water (people think their hungry when they’re actually thirsty), have an apple, orange….. Do your meals consist of foods that nourish you and make you full or are they full of white breads, saturated fats and tons of other processed things. Processed food moves through the body a lot faster than taking time to buy whole grain bread, real low fat cheese, chicken or turkey, fresh veggies and fruit. If you’re burning off the sugars in the processed foods quickly then you will feel hungry. You could also replace that urge with 10 minutes of exercise if you don’t already have an exercise routine that you follow. I practice yoga and have regularly for 6 years. It has taught me a lot about awareness of my mind/body connection. Just start looking at it instead of caving in. Keep a journal about what you’re feeling and why you feel food will make you feel better. You’ll find you don’t want that candy bar what you want is a hug or you’re angry and you need to release that anger. Sorry for the long answer but as a woman whose dealt with bulimia for 22 years, I’ve done a lot of soul searching on the bingeing part of things. Best to you.
Please disregard the poster’s advice regarding amphetamines. Yes, they will suppress your appetite, but they are illegal in many cases and have extremely unhealthy side effects.
Good for you for understanding that stress and anxiety plays a part in your cravings… keep up trying to work with those. Exercise is an excellent stress reliever and will help you sleep better, which is a foundation for good health. Research has shown that sleep deprivation, stress and being overweight are related.
Also, when it comes to food – eat high-fiber foods like REAL whole grain bread and pasta, and beans. Eat more protein as well and drink a lot of water. Try eating small meals every three to four hours, don’t let yourself get too hungry. Limit salt and sugar, especially in processed foods and soda – some people say that even eating white bread will cause your blood sugar and insulin to drop, resulting in increased cravings. Refined sugar is biologically addictive – the more you eat, the more you want. Try honey instead if you have a sweet tooth craving.

Green tea suppresses the appetite, helps to brake down fat, and tastes great.
Drinking green tea helps to lose weight.
To prepare green tea – boil the water, whn boiling, take it off the stove, let sit for one minute, only then pour over your desired tea bag. Steep for 5 minutes, drink.
Can do it twice with each green tea bag )this rule does not apply to black or herbal teas) – the second time it will be milder but more essencial vitamins will get extracted from it.
either lemon or honey can improve the taste.
