Yep. Same here. I had a jaw issue and was on a liquid diet for a week or so. I was getting every possible nutrient and plenty of calories. But all I wanted to do was eat chips or carrots or anything crunchy! Hunger (needing food or at least thinking you need food) is different than cravings (wanting something in particular whether or not you are hungry). Cravings make me over eat more than hunger does. I don't think this pill will satisfy any cravings at all.

lbm maybe?

It's intended to hit the stretch receptors in your stomach, sending "I'm full" signals to your brain. Same theory as gastric banding. Or swapping out calorically dense food like dried fruit for less-dense food like fresh fruit.

So based on the anecdotes from the people who wander through here saying "I'm morbidly obese because I've eaten way too many calories for years on end, and now that I've switched to less-dense food choices, I can't manage to eat more than 1,000 calories a day because I'm just so full," I suspect they will work, at least in the short term.

After some (likely short) period, your brain catches on to the trick, and you have to try something else. (Which adaptive ability is why diet soda "makes you fat." Your brain figures out pretty quickly that sweet drinks don't necessarily have calories, so assumes that no sweet drinks have calories, just to be on the safe side. )

Pounds per meter, huh?

I'm guessing you were actually going for lean body mass, but that's not really a mechanism.

I took 2 of these pills today before lunch. I am completely full. I did eat some cottage cheese and about 12 almonds. I know that this is not a miracle pill. I know that I have to still eat well and exercise but this is the push/help that I needed.

My problem isn't hunger either. It's boredom.
