Appetite suppressants, whether obtained over the counter or by prescription, can be employed in the beginning stage of a diet program to jump start weight loss and reduce food cravings. In most cases, these suppressants are not intended for long-term use. They can, however, help you lose a few pounds in the short-term. Lasting weight loss requires a healthy diet and physical activity. Be sure to talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of any appetite suppressant.

Unique Hoodia Pills

Weight Loss Pills Advisor recommends Unique Hoodia Pills as an effective appetite suppressant. Drugs.com explains that hoodia comes from hoodia gordonii, a plant from Southern Africa that resembles a cactus. Hoodia contains a molecule that is known to suppress appetite by tricking the brain into thinking that you're full. Drugs.com warns against taking the appetite suppressant if you have heart problems, diabetes or an eating disorder.

Slim Shots Appetite Suppressant

The Slim Shots Appetite Suppressant system contains ingredients such as oat, palm oil and aspartame that lessen cravings for food. A liquid shot is meant to be ingested twice a day during the first week of use, followed by one shot a day in subsequent weeks. The makers of Slim Shots recommend using their product in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise plan, as it will not promote lasting weight loss on its own.

Phentermine

ConsumerSearch.com recommends prescription only phentermine, an appetite suppressant that has been on the market for a long time. Available only through a doctor, these pills are used as part of a multifaceted weight loss strategy in dieters at the highest levels of obesity. It works on the nervous system to reduce hunger and food cravings. It is important to follow your doctor's guidelines when using this medication to avoid side effects and possible addiction.
