Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:You can try these to reduce your appetite:
1. Add red pepper flakes to your pantry. When eaten early in the day, red pepper lowers the amount of food you'll eat later.
2. Sugarless chewing gum can suppress your appetite in a pinch.
3. Eating liquid-based foods such as natural smoothies and low-sodium soup can help you cut back on calories yet feel full.
4. Remember these five essential smoothie ingredients: frozen berries, a banana, skim milk, a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of psyllium seed husks.You can try these to reduce your appetite: 1.

Ms. Vandana Sheth of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics answered:Enjoy a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein along with healthy fats in moderation to help you feel full. When increasing fiber in your diet, do so gradually so your body adjusts to the load. Drink water throughout the day. Enjoy regular meals and snacks to maintain your energy level and avoid overeating due to skipping of meals. Also, pause before you start eating to see if you are truly hungry.

Judy Caplan of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics answered:High fiber foods can help reduce your appetite. The fiber causes fullness which helps turn off the brain's hunger mechanism. Whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables are loaded with fiber. Foods that contain fat also help reduce your appetite. Almonds, cashews, walnuts, sunflower seeds, nut butters are all examples of healthy fats.
