Too hungry! How to suppress appetite?

There are people who are always hungry. This is not really comfortable and encouraged to eat too, with the risk of weight gain that entails.

How to reduce a devouring appetite?

Where does the appetite?

It is a phenomenon both normal and complicated.

Normal because it reflects your desire to eat to satisfy your energy needs.

Complex because it is governed by the satiety center located in the brain.

It receives information on the composition of food that you swallow, and records, when you approach your physiological dose then you have it, it sends you signals that reduce and suppress your appetite.

Two hormones involved in this process: leptin induces satiety and ghrelin has the opposite effect.

(But the secretion of these hormones can be disrupted in some and, of course, it upsets along the appetite may be lower in some and very increased in others, causing them to swell.)

How to naturally reduce appetite at the beginning of a meal?

By eating vegetables, cooked or raw.

Their volume as they begin to fill, too, the stomach. They are also rich in fiber and, suddenly, you must eat less later.

That means:

good vegetable soup in the evening, very thick (it's better than a soup where the water has a large majority).

lettuce salad or lamb's lettuce (which bring you bonus Omega 3)

carrots or cabbage grated (with diced apple, is even better)

a grapefruit.

And during their season by:

melon

an artichoke vinaigrette,

small grated zucchini and lemon,

good tomato salad,

a cold ratatouille,

etc.

This is when friendliest stomach fillers pellets, both from the point of view of gluttony that nutrition: the benefits of vegetables are well established. And the choice is yours!

But you can also add a piece of bread these vegetables, its carbohydrates are faster to deliver, assimilate and go tell your brain "Calm down, the food arrives! ".

(If you are in a restaurant, without vegetables in the tooth, eat bread while waiting for service: it will have the same calming effect.)

How to cut a craving?

Never with a sweet product, making you secrete insulin to digest this sugar, will have a rebound effect that will trigger another munchies.

The easier it is a glass of water.

But the effect does not last long. Coffee (no sugar or sweetener) has an action a little longer, especially if the milk in it.

Apple and boiled egg are the two stars appetite suppressants.

Apple because of its fibers and texture of its meat, hard-boiled egg because it is rich in protein and remain in the stomach longer.

And if you're tired of the apple, you can opt for the banana which has the same virtues.

Some dried fruits (almonds, pistachios, walnuts) are as effective but still pretty fat, so high in calories.

And if there are salty, so you may not be able to stop!

Because of their protein and fat from their poverty:

a small slice of ham,

a chicken breast (or turkey),

yogurt (or a small pot of white cheese)

are also very good appetite suppressants. They are less easy to use in the office, but very useful when you get hungry (e) at home.

(And remember that eating slowly, swallowing each bite only when it is soft, well impregnated with saliva, is the best way, during a meal, good to operate its satiety threshold and thus reduce his appetite.)
