Does anyone have a great way to eliminate appetite? It would be much easier to stay on track if I didn't seem to think I had to eat all the time. Seems like the only time I'm NOT hungry is if I'm taking cold medicine. I've noticed that when I have a cold, and take cold medicine that I also have no appetite. (Of course, I haven't had a cold for about a year, so haven't had a chance to experience this lately). I haven't yet reverted to taking cold medicine every day to take away my appetite, but it's starting to sound like a good idea if I can't come up with something else! :-) (Probably not so healty, huh?)
Are there any supplements on the market that anyone takes or has tried that seems to be effective? I get nervous about supplements - I really don't want to just start trying things, so thought I'd see if anyone here is currently on a supplement plan?

Tonya, I think that generally it's not the cold medicine but the fact that our sense of smell and taste is affected by colds, so we aren't prone to eat a lot because it doesn't taste as good!!
As for supplements I'm not entirely sure, and think that some are downright dangerous, so you always have to be careful.
Perhaps that's it - no taste and no smell. Perhaps I should try cotton in my mouth and nose-plugs. HA! :-)
Good suggestions on the tea and Crystal lite. Thanks!
