When I was running regularly, I was always starving. How can you exercise and not have an appetite??

Exercise makes me much less hungry. However, I am overweight and typically eat far more than I need. So, for me, exercise seems to be a great regulator. My suspicion is that for people who have a healthy weight and are already "in balance", increasing movement would increase the need for additional calories.

To answer the OP, I think a safe and healthy appetite "suppressant" would be a huge plate of spinach, kale, or other low-calorie but dense vegetable. Plus a big glass of water. Having that before a meal would both physically and emotionally satisfy hunger, allowing you to consume fewer calories at mealtime. Pills or weight-loss products are never going to be a healthy solution.

I have found that chewing gum & drinking lots of water helped.

I find almond butter fills me up for a while. Avocado helps too.

Really intense exercise is supposed to work, not garden-variety cardio.

Higher fat and protein diet, or coffee works for me.

I swear by Super Cortisol Support, manufactured by Now Foods. I bought it because two years of unabated stress had left me 15 pounds heavier with most of the weight in my abdomen. I have found it to be extremely effective in both calming my mood, and suppressing appetite to a degree that's safe and reasonable. You have to take it 3 times a day and it's hard to remember-- that's my only quibble.
