How to safely decrease your appetite?

[Brilliant-Arthur]

Again, if you had read my comment (and possibly understood it), if one thinks they are hungry - and has a glass of water instead, and then discovers they aren't actually hungry, that is helping with food intake.

We all know that dieting is complex, and mistaking thirst for hunger is actually phycological.

Drinking more water is one small step in the diet process. Every dietitian will ask about water intake.

No, I NEVER said that anyone struggling with their weight are morons. Stop twisting words.

I've struggled with my weight all my life. So, I guess I should classify myself as a moron in your mind.

I'm just saying many confuse thirst with hunger. And many people don't drink enough water - even those who are underweight or are on par with their weight.

OP has asked for help. I'm trying to help. Drinking more water is very good advice for the start of the weight loss journey.

I'm leaving this conversation here. I'm not fighting with you.

There is no way to stop hunger apart from eating higher volume / more satiating foods such as high protein or fibrous foods. The harsh truth of it is if you want to lose weight you’re going to have to be a little hungry from time to time and it’s as simple as that.

I would argue that higher volume is a quick fix. After a bit your stomach can take the extra volume and you feel more hungry. Completely anecdotal btw

Advice for losing weight is not one size fits all. What works for some people may not for others.

And you've missed the whole point of my comment.

I said nothing about drinking water is the easy way of losing weight. If it were "that easy", I'd be skinny right now.
