Since even vegans can have a problem with weight, I was wondering if there is a good appetite suppressant. Yea I know fiber. Is there anything else?

I think Hoodia is an appetite suppresant.

I googled natural foods that help suppress appetite and came up with this:

5 Foods that Suppress your Appetite.
1- Water or Broth: Fresh drinking water--from a tap or bottle-- is a powerful appetite suppressant. If you drink B oz of water at the first sign of hunger and then wait ten minutes, you'll almost always suppress your appetite. If water doesn't work for you, drink organic vegetable or chicken broth. Heat up a quart at a time, and for only 20 calories you'll be full.
2- Green leafy vegetables (Think lettuce, cabbage and bokchoy): They have so few calories that you don't even need to count them, but they will fill your tummy and turn off the hunger signals to your brain. Don't like to eat them plain? Add a low calorie salad dressing (look for the one that is 25 calories per tablespoon) and enjoy. Or, stir-fry the veggies in water. Add onions, garlic and soy sauce for more flavor.

3-Instant Banana Pudding- Don't look for this in the grocery store, you have to make it yourself. Purchase the ingredients from a health food store. Here's the recipe:
Pour a quart of soy milk into a blender. Add two scoops of unsweetened banana-flavored simply natural spirutein soy protein powder. Add stevia powder as a sweetener. Blend. While the blender is running, add 1\2 tablespoon of guar gum powder and 1\2 tablespoon of xanthan gum powder, both of which are thickeners.

4- Pickles- Buy NATURAL pickles only, avoiding those with added sugars and artificial food coloring. An entire jar of pickles has only 50 calories.

5- Apples- Apples do have a few calories and a few carbs, but they will fill you up for quite a while, which will stop you from eating more calorie-dense foods. The bulky fiber of apples will fill you up before you over eat

If you're looking more for a supplement, try doing a search...there are a ton of products that 'claim' to suppress appetite and help in weight loss.

Maybe I am odd, but if I workout in the morning before eating, this suppresses my appetite. If I don't workout for the day I eat way more.
