Question Can you reccommned or advise on safe and effective appetite suppressants or over-the-counter diet pills in the U.S.?
Answer Dear Kathleen,
I researched the OTC appetite suppressant and failed finding safe AND effective ones. The prescribed 'diet pills' are even worse and unless there's a morbid obesity case, I would never recommend any of them due to significant side effects and inevitable withdrawal reaction.
What really works, is changing the very structure of your way of eating from utilizing the carbohydrate metabolic pathway to the lipid (fat) metabolic pathway.
It works because on the latter, your body finally recognizes your own fat as legitimate fuel and the fact of burning it signals to the 'hunger' center in your brain that there's constant flow of fuel coming in, thus the reduced appetite.
Our dieters, almost all of them, report decreasing hunger after one week on the diet.
