Small meals: Try eating several smaller meals throughout the day. Avoid simple sugars and fatty foods. Exercise 1 hour daily 4-5 times weekly.

Specializes in Psychiatry

Auricular Acupucture: I agree with dr. Sparacino. Auricular (ear) acupuncture can be a very helpful adjunct for appetite suppression.
