Practitioners of traditional Indian medicine have long used a natural remedy known as caralluma to suppress appetite. Now, caralluma supplements are marketed as a natural weight loss aid, with many proponents claiming that the herb can fight fat formation in addition to alleviating hunger.

To date, there's very little scientific evidence that caralluma can help you slim down. While some preliminary research suggests that caralluma can curb hunger and prevent weight gain, it's too soon to recommend caralluma supplements for weight loss.

If you're looking for a natural way to tame your hunger, try adding chili peppers to your diet. Studies show that capsaicin (the compound that gives hot peppers their spicy kick) may help ease your appetite and reduce levels of ghrelin (a hormone that plays a key role in promoting hunger).
