Best Appetite Suppressants to
Lose Weight
Dr. Oz Best Appetite Suppressant #1:
Glucomannan
Dr. Oz says you can't lose weight if
you're hungry all the time. He recommends glucomannan, a soluble
fiber that helps you feel full without being gassy. From the konjac
root, glucomannan is nature's get skinny sponge that when taken
before a meal takes up space in the stomach provided a feeling of
fullness. Dr. Oz recommends 1g of glucomanna three times a day before
meals.
A simple supplement that can be added
to a healthy diet as part of a weight loss plan, Dr. Oz explains that
glucomannan comes in three forms: powder, noodles or pills. He says
to choose the form that makes most sense for you and your lifestyle.
Powdered glucomannan can be added to
Dr. Oz's
Green Drink or other smoothie, it can also be added to sauces.
Glucomannan can also be found in
noodles
by Shirataki. Dr.
Oz’s Glucomannan Primavera
recipe features Shiratake noodles with veggies for a healthy meal.
And, of course, there are always
glucomannan capsules available.
Dr. Oz Best Appetite Suppressant #2:
Grapeseed Oil
Grapeseed oil is a healthy form of
omega-6 fatty acids. Dr. Oz recommends taking 2 teaspoons of
grapeseed oil 2 hours before lunch. As shown in an animation, Dr. Oz
says the oil will coat the stomach causing it to expand and make you
feel full and therefore will decrease the amount of food eaten at
lunch. He featured Spectrum
brand grapeseed oil, made by Hain Celestial who gave every member
of the audience a bottle.
Dr. Oz Best Appetite Suppressant #3:
Griffonia Simplicifolia
Griffonia Simplicifolia comes from a
West African shurb and, says Dr. Oz, helps the body create serotonin.
He showed an animation of two brains, one brain of a person who was
hungry and the other brain of a person who was full. Between the two
brains, the difference was the brain of the person who was full had
more serotonin. When the brain tells the body it's hungry, often what
it's really saying is that it needs more serotonin.
Dr. Oz recommends taking 200mg of
griffonia simplicifolia daily to help balance serotonin levels. He
explained that a study showed people who took griffonia experienced
less hunger and ate 41% fewer calories.
Dr. Oz Best Appetite Suppressant #4:
Pine Nuts
Pine nuts have the highest amount of
protein of any nut, says Dr. Oz, and they turn off hunger hormones in
the body. He recommends eating a shot glass worth of pine nuts before
breakfast each morning to cut down and suppress hunger hormones. In a
study, he explained, participants eating pine nuts ate 36% less food
because the no longer experienced food cravings.
Dr. Oz Control Hunger Morning,
Noon and Night
Dr. Oz Morning Hunger Control:
Hunger Blasting Bloody Mary
At 8am, Dr. Oz recommends drinking his
Hunger Blasting Bloody Mary, alcohol-free. Capsaicin in the hot sauce
reduces. In a study, he says, people who took in capsaicin took in
fewer calories throughout the day.

Dr. Oz Afternoon Hunger Control:
Coffee and Cookies!

lunch and dinner, Dr. Oz says he wants people to have coffee and
cookies. Cookies for weight loss? The right type of cookie can help
you feel full play a role in weight loss.
Choose espresso, says Dr. Oz, because
the it alters the gut hormones and tricks the body into feeling
fuller longer.
Dr. Oz recommends Caveman
cookies with nuts and berries, protein and fiber. If you can't
find them in your area, he says to make his Dr.
Oz Protein Cookies with chocolate and peanut butter.
Dr. Oz Evening Hunger Control:

At 10pm, Dr. Oz recommends to drink a
cup of fennel tea to prevent late-night binging and rebound morning
hunger. The scent of fennel tea alone can help to reduce cravings and

won't have food cravings in the morning. Dr. Oz recommends David's
brand of fennel tea.
