They have bitter tasting things that you can put on your nails. It tastes bad so you don't want to bite them. You could also just use some lotion or nail polish remover. The taste is unappealing.
You can try sitting on your hands. You could wear a rubberband on your wrist. Everytime you want to bite your nails you can snap the band instead. You will get tired of snapping the band and quit biting.
You can reward yourself when your nails look nice. Perhaps some pretty polish, or something special for yourself. You have to be dedicated and it will take self motivation.
Good luck.

You can get kits at places like CVS, that have fake nails that you essentially glue on yourself. But here's the thing... I did it for about a year, the kits I got were Revlon, and all under $10, and they last for about 2 weeks if you do it right. They come pre-painted, so they look professional, and cover up the gross nail underneath until you get in the habit of not biting.

i bite my nails too, but this helps, dont put on nail polish and think that'll stop u cuz i just bite that ryt off too. *blush* but u could wear gloves for a while, i know its kind of ridiculous but maybe it will work for u, or you could put nasty tasting stuff of ur fingertips like maybe nail polish remover. but dont go sucking ur fingers or putting on way too much remover cuz u dont want to get poisened. knowing that there is that crap on ur nails will keep ur fingers away from ur mouth.

You can't take something away without replacing it with another habit.
Try getting into manicure your nail.
Carry a file and a buffing pad and go to work. Once you see how good they can look, biting them off will seem like a crime.
Lots of luck to you!!

put bandadge on all your nails,that way if you try to bite your fingers ,youll bite the bandadge instead and then sooner yoll get sick and tired of biting your nails and always think about the bandadges.SERIOUSLY STOP,ALL THE GERMS FROM YOUR NAILS WILL GO IN YOUR MOUTH.you could get sick.and my friend she kept on doing it and lost a whole nail.seriously.

first u need to cut them all off...if u have some sort of condiment that you don't like (hot sauce, mustard, mayo etc...) use a small paint brush and brush some over your nails...just enough so u can smell it if ur hand is close 2 ur nose but not enough to see it. everytime u stick ur hand in ur mouth u'll regret it. trust me it works...i used some cayenne hot sauce on mine and i haven't bitten my nails in 2 years :)

Save up a little money and get them manicured. When they look so pretty you'll start to geel bad when you bite and ruin them. If you get really desperate, get fake tips, they are expensive and with all the maintenance they require you'll never want to mess them up. And, they're tough!

Try dipping them in Tabasco sauce a couple times a day.
