Need serious help with junk food cravings: Supplement to reduce hunger?

I have been trying for years to lose weight but i have a serious problem with binge eating at nighttime (around 8pm - 11pm). I consistently work out but my unhealthy eating has gotten in the way of achieving my goals. Does anyone know of a supplement or hormone I could take that reduces cravings / hunger? I am so desperate that I would actually like something that induces a small amount of nausea as I think that would take care of the cravings for sure. Can anyone recommend anything like that? Thank you!

Caffeine

Fill up on fruits and vegetables.

[QUOTE=Strawng;1642878823]Caffeine[/QUOTE] Thanks for the feedback. That's interesting, i hadn't considered caffeince. I could give it a try but it would also keep me up late at night, and something tells me that wouldn't be a strong enough drug to reduce my cravings

[QUOTE=eternalnoob;1642878903]Fill up on fruits and vegetables.[/QUOTE] I already do this. I have a very large dinner at around 6pm with lots of vegetables. The weird thing is i'm not even hungry, i just eat because my cravings are so bad. It's an addition really

Odds are if you have it in your house and your crave it you're going to cave eventually. Get rid of it, all of it, don't even buy it or keep it anywhere in your home.

The problem is there are gas stations / grocery stores within a 3-minute drive from my home. And I will often drive to them even if I don't have anything in my home, that's how strong my addiction is. I work out hard 5 or 6 days a week so I do have at least some discipline but I serious need help with the junk food cravings

The best way to suppress your appetite is to go cold turkey on the food that makes your appetite go wild...

You can start eating them again in moderation after you cut down.

You'll need to schedule out a meal plan.

6 measured meals a day with at least 150-200 grams of vegetables per meal spread around 2-3 hours apart. This will keep you full constantly and will work 100% if you stick with it.

Try to cut out ultra processed foods. These seem to act like a narcotic to some people. It will not be easy but you have to basically go cold turkey.

Eat meat, eggs and tons of vegetables only for a couple of weeks straight and hopefully that gives you a good start.

Why not have a smaller dinner and a night snack? Rather than stopping eating after dinner?

When you get a craving for snacks and your out of calories try a walk instead. Stay out of the kitchen

I think therapy might be very helpful also. This sounds deeper than just craving junk food. There might be an emotional aspect or coping mechanism aspect you could look at and process

There is a GREAT DRUG that will help, but you don't have to pay a dime for it...

It's called self discipline and will power.

Several lifestyle approaches can decrease hunger like increasing exercise, drinking plenty of water, getting enough sleep, choosing slowly digested foods and managing stress. Along with this, Vitamin B has huge potential to suppress hunger. As you are looking for supplements,.

Maltodextrin will help.

Buy a pound and pour it into your gas tank so you won't be able to make the 3 minute drive to buy junk food.

Great answers above. I would definitely throw out any nutritionally worthless junk food you have in your fridge/pantry, and the source of your hunger may actually be a desire for comfort or mending, rather than actual hunger, that you could possibly replace with some kind of rewarding activity.

One thing I might add is that you may not have to go ballistically overboard with absolute garbage to satisfy a taste for something rich or savory. You could add, for instance, a measured, moderate portion of cheese to a big bowl of rice, and that's really not anything crazy but might hit the spot about as well as Taco Bell, where you're not even conscious of all the extra calories, which necessarily aren't even contributing to your pleasure of eating. So, a strict "dichotomy" mindset between anything savory or rich and everything completely wholesome, may not be what's called for per se. As you eat less ultra-processed stuff over a decent period of time, your craving for it should subside at least moderately.

In the 90s there was as a mail-order commercial running on TV for a weight loss capsule. According to the commercial, once in your stomach it expands exponentially (like a super tampon) and fills your stomach - thereby making you feel full and curbing your hunger.

Haven't seen the commercials since then, don't know if the product still is on the market and don't know anything about the product's safety or side effects - just letting you know in case you want to research further.

This ^ is the answer.

I have a bad habit that I like to eat snack very late. Like after 9-11pm. I usually go to bed by 11. Eating high calorie garbage late is a sure fire way to not lose weight.

I just broke my plateau by following what the people on this board told me to do. They said watch every calorie and dont eat garbage. I threw out all the processed food and dont snack after dinner at all.

Are you seriously coming into this forum and blatantly telling someone you don't know to start using drugs to kill their appetite?

Yeah, no need to learn something like discipline when you can just be a poser online

Several years ago I heard this simple phrase about snacking, if you are hungry eat an apple...if you do not want an apple...you are not hungry...you are bored!! I have that written in my kitchen !! Try this http:/ /adfoc.us/67999780498582

[QUOTE=snailsrus;1642882863]Why not have a smaller dinner and a night snack? Rather than stopping eating after dinner?[/QUOTE]

This is exactly what I did when cutting, and I still do it now. I have a moderate dinner and then I snack all night. A typical night:

1. Dinner
2. Strawberries and yoghurt
3. Rice cakes
4. Popcorn
5. Peanuts or dark chocolate
6. Cereal and milk if I have any cals leftover

I space these all apart over a 3-4 hour period in-between dinner and going bed. It drives my wife nuts though as I'm pausing the TV every half an hour to get more snacks.

The supplement is called

When I'm Tired of Being A Fat As# I''ll Quit Binging.

The only supp proven to work

OP you mentioned that you tend to binge between 8-11 PM - what is your schedule like at that time? What activities are you doing?

By the book, Bigger, Stronger and Leaner, and read the chapter on will power.

the trick is, to eat at a light deficit the first few days. your body right now is in the state of having sensitive reactions when you get hungry. you have to get past this few day period where its really hard to not just give in to eating more food above your deficit. once you get past that few day period, when you get that impeding hunger, you are going to be more likely to respond to not eating, therefor after about a week or 2, itll be completely natural to eat at maybe even a bigger deficit. in conclusion, adapt your mind and body, and then its easy peasy
