If you are looking for a wonderful high-fiber cereal...try Uncle Sam's Cereal. Can be found at Trader Joe's, whole food type stores and now even at Walmart. I like it alone or mixed with Raisin Bran and or Grapenuts along with friut. It is good added to yogurt as a midmorning snack. Low in calories high in fiber and protien. Has a rich, toasty flavor.

I`ve found that eating broccoli keeps my chocolate cravings at bay. I just can`t eat it everyday because it interferes with my thyroid medication.

Soy milk is a great source of calcium and is high in fiber! I have my nutritional shakes with it!
Also psyllium husk has great benefits as well, found in metamucil and the such, is the best source of fiber, keeps you full, keeps you regular, lowers your cholesteral too! Can be taken up to 3 times daily with a full glass of water. I like to have it one half hour before I have my meals, then I tend to eat less.

I have been using a "protein" shake and adding in Intestinal tone by life force. (this is much like fiber one or the store brand sugar free bulking psyllium husk) To make the shake taste good, i add a banana sometimes and always FLAT diet flavored soda. I realize the soda is not that great for you, but adding the flavor tastes good. Also I have used some of the slim fast shake receipes. When I make them myself, I don't have as much sugar in them.

All these "Helpful Hints" on how to lose weight is really an insult to anyone's intelligence. Here is my secret to keeping a healthy weight...Eat when you are hungry, exercise, cut down on sweets and alcohol, use your common sense, get your yearly checkups and most of all be happy and enjoy each day to the fullest...

Let's see eat when you are hungry...I am hungry 24/7, even after eating a large meal...so your advice may work for you but everyone's body chemistry is different.

You CAN eat broccoli everyday with thyroid medication!
your synthroid (most common thyroid med) is taken in the morning BEFORE you eat Anything! Then 2 hours later you can eat, by then your thyroid medication has had a chance to absorb & the iron won't mess up your thyroid meds.

Feeling full has never been the problem, it is the hunger and cravibgs that are the problem. Tell me how to get rid of those and I could easily drop weight. Just an FYI, I have tried the "appetite suppresants" and they don't work for me. So in a nut shell, even when I am full of good nutritious lowfat foods, I am still "hungry" and craving the fatty foods.

Only one way to lose weight. Burn more calories than you consume. Be hungry all the time or not, that's the bottom line. Appetite supressants either don't work at all or harm your health. We all want a magic pill, but it doesn't exist (and if it did..it's probably kill you). It's just not easy! Drag!

Serving of fruit helps to suppress hunger in its first minutes. I choose among an apple, a banana, 2 cups of grapes, a pear, a peach..Any fruit! Fat free or low fat yoghurt is a great option. You can put some musli in it or slice half of banana. The choice in flavors is huge so I'm sure there's one for you. Couple of rice cakes topped with an apple sauce, or a fruit spread, food bar, a cup of a fat free or low fat cottage cheese. Drink a lot of water that way you will put hunger hunger off for later.

My thoughts on cow's milk is another ploy by the Dairy Ass. It has been proven that the human body doesn't assimilate the calcium from cow's milk. At least not enough to mention. It actually plays havoc on your body. If you are to drink milk I would recommend goat's milk.

This is all interesting, however it doesn't solve the basic problem. Whetehr I weigh 180 or 250 I am still hungry 24/7. It makes for a miserable life beicause the hunger cravings never subsie. I have been to many Drs and they have basically been absoutely no help. When you are hungry all the time it makes for a grouchy and miserable life.

The advice on eating spicy stuff holds true...when I start feeling those hunger pains, I chew extra-hot cinnamon gum....Which actually helps me feel as if I'm having dessert, or simply just takes my mind off of food. (Oh, and I loved Brian's commnent. Not only was that funny, but we can all relate!!)
