I found drinking green tea stops craving for your favorite food.
I have heard it has it's benefits. According to my physician, diet soda and caffeine (coffee), while not adding calories, does stimulate hunger and creates a negative hormonal response in the body that increases fat storing hormone production.
My program says all sweetener is no good.
It is tough for me to follow since I love sweets. I am not allow, even fruit, for my chemical imbalance.
I have to drink tons of tea to kill my craving for sweet.
No, I use stevia and sometimes a little agave nectar .
Mostly and yes.

I do like green tea and that is one of the teas I don't mind with no sweetener.
are you giving up all sweet too?
Tell me more.
If you are missing the addition of salt, I have found that No Salt as well as garlic and onion powder, pepper, and salsa help alot.
Also, there is a spray on butter product that adds no calories or fat. Just suggestions if you are finding food bland.
I am on "potatoes not Prozac" program. this supposed help chemical imbalance without meds.
One of the toughest one is I am not supposed to have any kind of sweet, no no calorie sweetener, no diet drink, not even fruits.
I am wondering if you are giving up all sweet and how you are doing it.
That is not in my current plans and would take some convincing.
That is about will power, and not body chemistry.
I trust my friend Delmar. This was his idea and I have no doubt in it's ability to work.

I've found that making eating into a chore is helpful in eating less.
Chew each bite 20 times. Pause 60 seconds between bites. You will feel like you have eaten a lot of food and you will be tired of chewing.
