Honestly, working long hours makes me want to snack constantly out of boredom. I started keeping roasted chana or cucumber slices at my office desk instead of cookies. Drinking a big glass of warm water 20 minutes before your meal also helps cut down your portion size naturally.

I see this question a lot on this forum. The most practical way is to increase your protein and fiber intake, like having sprouts or paneer, which keeps you full for a longer time. Trying to starve yourself to suppress appetite always backfires and leads to late-night bingeing.

As someone managing PCOS, I know how hard insulin resistance makes it to control intense hunger cravings. Please don't take any random appetite suppressant pills, they can really mess with your hormones. Focus on balanced meals and check with an endocrinologist first.

The best way to suppress my appetite is to brush my teeth right after dinner so I get too lazy to eat anything else! On a serious note, just make sure you aren't actually just thirsty; drink some water first before reaching for that snack packet.

Please do not trust any internet remedies or herbal powders that claim to melt your appetite away. Many of these contain hidden chemicals that can damage your liver and kidneys. Consult a qualified dietitian or a doctor to plan a healthy calorie-deficit diet.

Including high-fiber vegetarian foods like oats, salads, and buttermilk in your daily diet naturally signals your brain that you are full. Avoid sweet juices and white bread, which cause sudden spikes and crashes in blood sugar, making you feel hungry again very quickly.
