Default Stimulant free appetite suppresant for a HUGE appetite

Hello

I'm hoping you folks can help me. I am looking for a supplement with everything that is NOT a stimulant. (I ALREADY have problems sleeping) In one supplement, I'd love to see: Green tea, L-Carnetine, Chromium Picolinate, CoQ-10, magnesium, and potassium. I often see herbs that are stimulants, or diuretics. I WANT water in my body, I NEED it, and work very hard to keep well hydrated!!! I'm lucky if I get ANY kind of quality sleep as it is. But I have the appetite of a lumberjack!! Help!!!

Any recommendations? Please?

OK, by the lack of responses, I am guessing this is just a downright silly question. So...let me rephrase this.
Are there any of these good, appetite helping things, bundled together in any form?

Hmm. I'm thinking that it may be your brain chemistry that is giving you an appetite. Your seratonin and beta-endorphn levels may be low and eating is pleasurable. Stimulating the release of these two is also part of what makes people reach out for carbs.

There's a discussion here on the Mood Cure and the Diet Cure by Julia Ross. Part of her practice is working with amino acids and vitamin supplementaion. It may be that you need a certain amino acid. It's worth a try!
