Can appetite suppressants really help you lose weight? Some people say yes, and some people say "don't be stupid, pills can't help you lose weight! Stop being lazy!" So, what's the truth?
Well, if your hunger is what keeps you from , then of course appetite suppressants can help you lose weight! If you eat a healthy, well-balanced meal with an appropriate number of calories, and yet you find your stomach growling painfully an hour later, of course it is going to be difficult to stay within a reasonable number of calories. In this case, an appetite suppressant may be just what you need to help you reach your weight loss goal. If, however, you feel compelled to eat when you aren't even hungry, appetite suppressants may not help you unless you take the type that expand in your stomach and make you feel as though you are already uncomfortably full.
Think about it: if you eat for emotional reasons (for example) and eat even when you're not hungry, how is making you feel not hungry going to stop your overeating? If you feel like you eat sometimes even when you're already bloated and bulging from all the food you've already eaten, therapy may be needed to address this compulsion or addiction. I'm not a doctor, but I do believe that if you find yourself in this situation that you should consult one! Who better to help you than the experts?
In conclusion: appetite suppressants work for some people, but not for others. You'll never know until you try whether or not they work for you.
