When I was in junior high, my best friend's mother swore by an appetite suppressant with the unfortunate name of Ayds. (It's no wonder that product went off the market!) Funny thing is, by the time I graduated from high school, my friend's mom didn't seem to have lost any weight during those years. Hmm...

While that particular product has long since vanished, there are plenty of odd-sounding options to suppress your appetite. Everything from lozenges to nasal spray to pickle pops to little "shots" that look and taste like coffee creamer. Women's Health reviewed some of the options and surprisingly found that some of them actually work.

Call me old-fashioned, but I'd rather just opt for a small, healthful snack to curb my hunger.
