Two years ago I was some 7-8kg beyond my target weight range. I started calorie cutting, and filling myself with salads etc before each meal. Also added some more changes like taking longer times to eat. I used to, and sadly back to it, eat in a flash. Initially it was hard so increased a bit and then a bit and then in a few days it was stabilised at a calorie intake point which was still significantly below my normal need. And in next few days it dropped further. So next 3-4 months when I was watching calories and trying to keep in check - I didn't have to worry about eating less calories, but I had to worry about taking sufficient calories. Because surprisingly I stopped feeling hungary even eating lesser calories. I am talking about being okay in 900-1000 while my normal need was ~2500 and nutritionist had suggested to target around 2000 for first few weeks then bring it down to 15-1600 and then slowly bring it up near normal as weight settled. But by the end of 2nd week or 3rd I was struggling to finish 900-1000. I used to kinda force eat. There was no medication involved in any way (not for this purpose; not for anything else).
