I have been adding raw broccoli to my diet, maybe a half to a cup a day of chopped broccoli.  I drink a lot of water with it and it is filling and has fiber.  It will fill your stomach and supress your appetite, plus it's good for you.  I think actual food would be better for you than a pill.

If you take a few sips of coconut milk before each meal, or snack, it will curb your appetite, coat your stomach with a natural fruit fat, and you will eat less...\n\nIt's very healthy, and helps to balance the PH (acid levels) in your stomach. I safely lost 15 lbs. in one month doing this...\n\nIf you take too much however, it will become a laxative, so go slow in the beginning...\n\nAlso, increasing your sexual activity, will also inhibit your appetite...

Yes, I take Hoodia, and I LOVE IT!!  It absolutely works- and I was a total skeptic.  The product I use is called Hoodia Supreme, and you can find it at GNC, or other vitamin stores.  Each capsule contains 400mg of Hoodia Gordonii.  I workout at 8am, have a smoothie for breakfast at 9am, take 2  Hoodia around 11am, lunch at 12 or 12:30, another fruit and yogurt smoothie or 10 almonds at 3pm, and 2 more Hoodia at 5 or 5:30, then dinner at around 6 or 6:30.  I am absolutely NEVER hungry.  I couldn't believe that I didn't get any hunger pangs, considering that I am only taking in about 1000-1200 calories per day, and doing a vigorous workout (The Firm) in the morning.  I take 1600 grams of Hoodia per day, and it is totally safe, no side effects at all, and I am never hungry.  It has really helped me stick to my eating plan, because it makes you feel full.  It is very easy to stay on a diet with Hoodia.  I am always sure to drink at least 1 gallon of water per day- this helps as well.  Hoodia Supreme is 100% Hoodia- don't buy anything that is not 100%, because most of it is filler.  1 bottle of Hoodia Supreme is about $35 for 60 capsules at GNC where I live, and I go through one bottle every 2 weeks- but believe me, I don't mind, because it is totally worth it.  They have a website:  www.hoodiasupreme.com.  By the way, Hoodia is not a "diet pill".  It does not help you burn fat, it just  does an awesome job at suppressing your appetite- and that is more than half the battle!  Good luck!

Yes, it works and helps alot. I remember once I'd stop taking supper and luncheon, take veges and meat but not in excessive amount. By the time you really get too hungry or appetit milk, juices or raisins would be great. reduce the intake amount of carbohydrates and drink more water. You'll feel cleaner and lighter, and have better day.

I've just now had to stop taking the pills because I noticed a difference in my health. I'm not gonna start taking them again until I know that the reason I feel so bad is NOT because of these pills. But, having said that, I took them for about 2 or 3 weeks and have lost almost 10 pounds. They definitely help curb your appetite and give you a boost of confidence. BUT, they're not for everybody. And judging by how old I think you are I think you're too young to be taking them and you probably don't need them. But, I'm not your mother. lol. I will tell you, though, that I've started having really bad head aches and getting terribly nauseous to the point where it's hard for me to keep anything I eat down. Like I said, I've stopped taking the pills. I hope this helps. But please, ask your doctor about them before taking them.

Those diet pills have caffine in them. you shouldn't take them after dinner or I'd say after lunch. \n\nI don't take them at all.\n\nEat a lot of fiber, fiber makes you feel full. Your body wants to eat, and your brain isn't telling what your body what it should eat. It'll just eat until it's full\n\nWhat your body really wants is fiber and protein.\n\nLess fat too\n\nAnd it's spelled lose.

i tried the GM diet which lasts a week-  it's also very hard but it does work to a point.  i lost about 9 pounds.  i will never do it again.  i've been completely shedding pounds by chewing papaya enzyme pills with every meal. they help breakdown the food correclty so not only do you not gain as much weight from the food you eat, you also get hungry less and you have more energy. and i totally stumbled upon these by accident. my freind takes them and he had them in a tin. i thought they were candy- you chew them and they are very sweet. they are in the vitimans and minerals section at most drug stores.

There are meds that can decrease your appetite (actually I can only think of one).  They can help you lose a small amount of weight.  There are also bariatric surgeries that essentially make your stomach smaller and/or reduce the amount of absorptive area in your intestinal tract.  These procedures can potentially help you lose a LOT of weight (I've also seen people who had a surgery and lost almost nothing).  I wouldn't recommend any of these unless you are extremely overweight and/or have significant comorbidities.  The meds and the surgeries all carry significant risks.  In order to justify using them, the risks of remaining overweight have to be greater than the risks of the procedures.

Take fiber that is made from 100% pure psyllium fibre plant material. it helps eliminate constipation, promote bowel movement and assists in removing waste and toxins from teh colon and intestine.\n\nIt aids in weight loss because it makes you feel FULL and there's a tendency that you eat less.\n\nFiber cancels out colories that aids in weight loss. take fiber before meals and aid it with exercise and proper diet.

okay... so i won't be like most of the people who say don't take pills .. they are no help.. just eat healthy and exercise!\n\nso, i began taking hoodia supplments for about a month. but i didn't take it everday... i just took it so that i didn't get addicted.. just in case).... so anyways, within about two months, i lost about 5 -7 pounds... but then, keep in mind, i became an exercise-holic within those months... it just seemed like i ate less. and had the energy to work out more frequently. anyways, eating less than i had before( hoodia suppresses your appetite) and i began exercising more and more because i saw that i was beginning to lose weight. anyways, i stopped taking it for about two months. .. because i felt like i could maintain it... well, i still watched what i ate, but still, i had some indulgences... i gained about 3~5 pounds back.. but it was because i let myslf go. i ate so much.. ahahah i admit. anyways, what i realized was that i was eating because i was bored - not because i was hungry...\n\njust control your appetite... and your cravings..drink green tea! it helps you metabolize... and if you really are in need to lose weight- why not try hoodia pillls? they might give you the push you need to exercise... but beware of the 'fake' hoodia pills!\n\nhope it helps.

i think its completely bogus.i don't think any supplement out there right now'll do jack for anything but emptying your pocket.i had some success back in @ '98-'99 w/ twin labs diet fuel,but thay have since changed the active ingredients due to lawsuits.& yep,you guessed it,the new version sux.\n\njust work on lifestyle changes,such as,diet & exercise(i know,dirty,dirty words).but thats the road i went down @ a year & a half ago,& have noticed much better results & complete change in my body & health(down from 265lbs to 194lbs on a 5'11" frame).that doesn't mean no self indulgence at all.i'm a pretty big beer drinker but my belly is still shrinking.just remember,low carbs,keep fat intake to good unsaturated fats,high fiber/protien.& don't be turned off by lowfat/no fat diet foods,they've come quite a long way w/the taste factor(i only eat fat free cheese,&i swear it tastes the same.& i am a cheese fanatic).but do remember that over indulgence of anything,be it lowfat/no fat or full bore,complete shit for you,WILL MAKE YOU FAT!\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!

^^ Don't listen to the guy who posted the first answer.  Diet pills and other stimulants (speed) will reduce your appetite, but you risk all kinds of dangerous side-effects.\n\n1) Start walking to places that are close-by (the store, etc.) rather than driving, as long as it doesn't interfere with your back problems.\n\n2) Ask your doctor about various methods of exercise that won't hurt your back.\n\n3) Start buying healthier foods from the store.  If you don't have junk food available in a convenient place, you'll be less likely to eat it.\n\n4) Join a weight-loss group.  If you have support, you'll be less likely to give in to the cravings.

I have been on Medifast; Optifast and other like it.  Don't waste your time.  I have been on Atkins, weight watchers, South Beach and taken diet pills.  He is what finally worked for me.  I cut out deserts, bread and pasta.  I eat a lot of salads, chicken, fish and fresh fruits and vegetables.  But, I drink a whole load of water.  To make it tastier, I squeeze fruit into the water.  I found this helps me loose weight and still feel full.  I also do some exercise.  In my opinion, these diets are all full of crap.

Fat burners, weight loss aids, etc... are inneffective in the long run, and not a healthy way to lose weight.  Although, the best by far on the market were the ephedra/caffeine supplements because they were very effective in the short term.  What has worked for me is consistent exercise, eating more SENSIBLY (I don't do diets), and watching your portion sizes.  There are supplements that can help you along in you weight loss endeavors, like ones that can curb your appetite, but if you're serious about losing weight, a little help from these type of supplements make a huge difference.  Look for a GOOD form of Hoodia or Slimaluma.
