Foods That Assist with Appetite Control
Often you wish there was something to help you slow down those cravings, especially when you are trying to lose some weight. In many articles I read, they suggest filling yourself up with water, two glasses, before you eat. And that can work, but maybe you already had enough of the water suggestion or you want to try something else.
Here are some foods that have the capability to help fill you up or decrease your appetite so that you eat a little less resulting in weight loss.
Foods with Potential Appetite Control
- Black Pepper has the compound piperine, it is a potential obesity fighter by suppressing your appetite.
- Spinach contains thylakoids that reduce hedonic hunger by up to 95%. Hedonic is the term for craving unhealthy sweets or junk food that only increases your weight.
- The herb, Fennel reduces the rate or efficiency of your fat food intake. If used as a tea it produces feelings of fullness.
- Flaxseed gives you more fiber and good Omega 3 Fatty Acids, this may suppress your post-prandial lipemia level, and your total fat intake.
- Dill is another herb that helps by bringing down your appetite, giving you more ability to lose a few pounds.
- Yogurt contains lactic acid bacteria, helping with digestion. The milk proteins aid weight loss by regulating hunger hormones and facilitating the regulation of energy balance. These help lower body fat percentage and weight circumference.
Try some of the above suggestions for helping you control your weight. If you are dieting or trying to lose some extra pounds combining some of these should really give you the edge you need.
Further recommendations are to exercise before eating, use “mindful” eating, and try to eat when you are less stressed. Some may work better for you than others.
