Are there any health supplement that can stop my food cravings

Are there any health supplement that can stop my food cravings?
I see people who inadvertently set themselves up for a huge snack attack mid afternoon and I am one of them. I need to stop this as soon as possible to get back my normal weight and figure.

I know it's hard to find, but ephedra works great for cravings. You can also eat more complex carbs at lunch and for your snack, fruits and veggies with a bit of fiber and protein will keep you feeling full.

Anything you use over the counter to stop food cravings will set you up in the long run for health problems. It is not in anyone's best interest to do that. Basically all they do is speed your heart rate up to make you more energetic so you don't think about. Try drinking 8oz of water if you get a food craving. That will hold you off until your next meal. Even if you have to drink water all day long. Hopefully this helps.

Changing your eating habits is the only way this will work for anyone. Supplements are poorly regulated and have shown to have no long term effect. Food addiction is a difficult and complex issue. I know I battle it everyday. Try, at the time of your snack to take an apple or other healthy snack and go for a walk. Or second, prepare a snack (moderate amount) on a plate. Cheese, fruit etc. when you are not hungry. When the snack time hits, take the prepared snack and eat it. When we are hungry it is the worst time to prepare. Cheers,

Keep a big bottle of water handy all throughout the day. I never used to drink water during the day, and I always used to snack! Now, I vowed to quit snacking, and whenever I feel the urge, I drink some water. This always helps. Sometimes when you think you have a food craving, you are just thirsty for water. You might be bored--taking the drink of water gives you a moment to think, "Am I really hungry or in need of food?" I eat only 3 meals per day and I do not snack. I used to snack ALL THE TIME. To quit, I started to count calories, and stuck to it. Once you realize the value of a calorie, you won't be tempted to mess up your daily caloric count. I also kept that bottle of water, and bought healthy snacks (removed all unhealthy temptations from my house--replaced with fat free yogurt, and veggies and fruits)

its easier than you think, try the total control and snack defense tablets from herbalife, they will cut all the cravings you have but you can eat your other meals as normal. They also have great healthy snacks for in between meals if you really cant stop yourself ,s o at least you snack healthy. The tablets will definitely work for you though. try myhealthabcmall.com and they are on there, cant remember under which tab they come under but they are easy to find. I get six months supply at one go so I dont have shipping and handling costs each month. good luck
