One approach to burning stomach fat and general excess weight reduction is by suppressing your appetite and therefore reducing hunger. If excessive weight is caused by overeating to satisfy hunger, suppressing hunger would reduce your food intake resulting in weight loss. Basically, if you are not hungry, you will not overeat.
Several alternatives for appetite suppression are available in the market that employs either a pharmaceutical or herbal approach.
One pharmaceutical product intended to suppress hunger by working directly with your brain is Phentermine. It comes in tablet or capsule form depending on which brand you use. It also aids your body to burn fat.

Herbs are also available that claim to suppress your hunger pangs. They are manufactured in capsule form and state that they not only reduce your craving for food, they can burn fat and increase your energy level.
Hoodia Gordonii, a plant found in Africa is one of the most popular organic hunger suppressants available today. This plant, resembling a cactus, has succulent stems that are believed to be used by Bushmen to ward off hunger. Studies have said that Hoodia can reduce calorie intake for a human by up to 1000 calories per day. Although there are claims by manufacturers as to the lack of any side effects, any published documents and research concerning safety to humans are hard to find.
