I'm looking for an over-the-counter appetite suppressant to use occasionally during the day when I know I'm having a large dinner and want to keep my daily caloric intake low.

Water - it's safe, effective, cheap, available almost every where, and good for you, too.
A piece of fruit will do the same thing, and you get some fiber and flavor, too.

Considering all the financial and emotional investment you have made to this point I am really surprised you would resort to products as ineffective as diet pills. We should all learn something every day and hopefully you will learn this. There is no such thing as a diet pill, liquid, powder, or fat burner supplement that works! Got it? Think about it. If any of this garbage worked, why would 2/3 of the adults in the US be overweight, obese, or morbidly obese? We would be lined up without having to spend a dime advertising if someone had the magic formula. Alli is the only over the counter weight loss pill approved by the FDA. There are only two (just reduced by one) prescription weight loss medications approved. Do you think that if any of them REALLY worked we would have a $60 billion a year industry in "weight loss" supplements? The big three pharmaceuticals would dominate the market. Approved or otherwise, none of these weight loss supplements guarantee anything unless you establish a healthy diet and exercise program. So why not just establish a healthy diet and exercise program and keep your money? You will be spending somewhere between $2 and $10 per day on a product that is not approved or guaranteed to do anything! The only weight loss supplement I recommend is a basic multivitamin. And yes they are dangerous. Heart, liver, kidney, intestinal, and neurological damage and death have all been the result of diet pills. That is why the FDA hasn't approved any new ones for 14 years. These supplement manufacturers are using human guinea pigs (you) for these products. As long as no one gets sick or dies, and they don't get fined or shut down they will keep making and selling this junk. Whether it works or not. I say it over and over and over. "If any one of these products really worked, why are there so many?"

A handfull of shelled walnuts about 1/2 hour before eating main meal.

I don't think any of them are safe, but I find that drinking a full glass of water before a meal and during the meal helps me to feel full quicker and its good for you.
