Lneal: First off, I gain 5lbs everytime I look at your avatar!!
Last year I used green tea and over 12 months lost 22 lbs. I drank 16 oz of green tea during the day and it seemed to suppress my appetite. It's healthy (so they say this year, who knows what they'll say next year) and you can get it decaffeinated. Since it's liquid, I felt full and didn't snack all day.
I put on some pounds over the holiday and plan to start again. I hope it works for me again.
Everyone's different-don't know if this will help or not. Good luck and keep us posted.
