How to Lose Weight With Jello
There are a number of different methods to help control appetite. Some of them involve vitamins, pills and supplements that deal with appetite triggers in the brain, while others pertain directly to filling the stomach with high-volume, low-calorie substances such as non-starchy vegetables, salads, broth or low-calorie drinks. Sugar-free gelatin is a substance that can be used for this purpose, helping to fill the stomach and giving the body and brain the feeling of fullness without adding enough calories to sabotage any dieting efforts.

Tips & Warnings
For special occasions add up to 2 tbsp. of low-fat or sugar-free whipped topping to gelatin.
When making your own gelatin, look for recipes on the box that will show you how to add fruit, such as pineapples, into the mixture.
Because gelatin has very few calories and little nutritional value, it should not be used as a meal replacement. It is important to follow the FDA guidelines for a healthy diet, but gelatin can be added as a frequent snack to curb hunger.
