Appetite suppressants work by targeting various physiological and psychological factors that contribute to hunger and food cravings.		#REDIRECT [[Anti-obesity drugs]]
	~~==Physiological factors==~~
	* One of the primary physiological factors that influence hunger and appetite is the release of hormones that signal the brain to increase or decrease food intake. Appetite suppressants target these hormones in various ways. For example, some appetite suppressants increase the release of hormones that promote feelings of fullness, such as glucagon-like peptide-~~1 (glp-1) and peptide yy (pyy), while others decrease the release of hormones that promote hunger, such as ghrelin.~~
	* Psychological factors, such as stress and emotional eating, can also contribute to overeating and weight gain. Some appetite suppressants aim to reduce stress and improve mood, which can help prevent emotional eating. Others work by blocking the absorption of certain nutrients, such as fat or carbohydrates, which can help reduce overall caloric intake.
	~~==Types of appetite suppressants==~~
	* There are several types of appetite suppressants, including prescription medications, over-the-counter supplements, and natural foods and herbs.
	* Prescription medications:
	* Prescription appetite suppressants are typically used to treat obesity and are only available with a doctor's prescription. These medications work by decreasing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness. Examples of prescription appetite suppressants include phentermine, [[diethylpropion]], and [[liraglutide]].
	* Over-the-counter supplements:
	* Over-the-counter supplements that claim to reduce appetite and promote weight loss are widely available. These supplements may contain natural or synthetic ingredients that are intended to suppress appetite or increase metabolism. However, many over-the-counter appetite suppressants have not been thoroughly tested for safety and efficacy, and some may have unwanted side effects. Examples of over-the-counter appetite suppressants include glucomannan, [[green tea extract]], and [[chromium]].
	* Natural foods and herbs:
	* Several natural foods and herbs are believed to have appetite-suppressing properties. For example, foods that are high in protein, [[fiber]], and water, such as lean meats, [[vegetables]], and [[fruits]], can help promote feelings of fullness and reduce hunger. Other natural appetite suppressants include spices, such as cayenne pepper and ginger, and herbs, such as fennel and dandelion.
	* Risks and side effects:
	* Appetite suppressants can have potential risks and side effects, depending on the type of suppressant and the individual's health status. Prescription appetite suppressants, for example, can have side effects such as dry mouth, [[constipation]], and [[increased heart rate]]. Over-the-counter supplements can also have unwanted side effects, such as nausea, [[dizziness]]~~, and digestive problems. Natural appetite suppressants, while generally considered safe, can still have potential risks, such as allergic reactions or interactions with other medications.~~
