Who has tried these that:

1) Work well,
2) Do NOT contain caffeine, and
3) Are reasonably priced?

I have. It's called "tooth paste". You use it right before you eat. It really works!

I have been through the whole
Appetite Suppresant phase...
THEY DONT WORK !!

The worst one I tried was called Farenheit (sp?).
About 15 min after taking it, I felt all flushed like
I had a low grade fever . I guess that's what it's supposed
to do, is raise your body temp and somehow you will lose
weight ? NOT

Best thing is diet and exercise !

Don't fall for the phoney gimmicks !

you just need to eat the right foods that fill you up longer. take out the white carbs and replace with more fiber and more protein. make sure you drink a lot of water too. sometimes hunger is really just dehydration.

I tried Phentermine and it worked very well for about 3 weeks. After that your body gets used to it and it no longer works. However, it was great to get over that initial slump. However, it does have some sort of caffeine in it. Good luck, I know it is hard. What I have been doing lately (in addition to joining a YMCA) is to add more fiber in my diet as that makes me feel full. Try those fiber one bars oats & chocolate. So good & 9 grams of fiber.

no please don't use these. They have many negative side effects. Fiber that occurs in fruits, grains, and nuts is the best thing to curb your appetite.

Any artificial weight loss remedy is bad news IMO

The only one that works is discipline. Unfortunately it doesn't come in a pill.

They work...I am not going to lie and say they dont. But they do not work LONG TERM. The body adjust to whatever you are taking. When you get really hungry like that you should reach for a pill. You should first look at what your diet is and see if your body is trying to tell you it needs more protien etc.

An all natural hunger suppression is two glasses of water, a multi-vitamin pill, and a fiber supp. All of these are good for your body and weightloss. Your body will not get used to them in a bad way. They will always be good for you and you can use it post loss plan as well.

An acupressure method:Acupressure Self Help For Common Health Problems - Alternative Medicine

"Acupressure can be a dieting tool, locate the cleft between the bottom of the nose and top of the upper lip. Pinch it when you’re hunger, and within moments your hunger will be gone."
