It seems surprising that almost no progress has been made in appetite suppression since they used to prescribe amphetamines as "diet pills" in the 1950s.

I found just a few spoons of stodgy porridge can keep hunger away for 6 - 8 hours.

Tons of progress has been made actually. Semaglutide works amazingly well at appetite suppression, and there are human trials going on now for drugs that seem to be even better. I wrote about it here [0].

That's very interesting thanks for sharing.

BTW I used to be exactly like you and could eat enough to feed a regiment without gaining an ounce. My eating for Britain stopped suddenly when I hit 40 and metabolism changed. Hope you are blessed with lifelong good apetite management, but for me I had to start working on it and changing my lifestyle/willpower.

It's good to know that advances are happening for those who truly need a helping hand though.
