Six Things You Should Do To Keep Hunger At Bay

Suppressing appetite is no doubt a real tough task today

, especially when you just have to flick through the channels and be tempted by mouth-watering recipes in cooking shows. However, giving in to the urges can prove quite disastrous for your weight-watching endeavours, unless you are gifted with lightning fast metabolism of course. So, while you cannot help those shows from being aired, and certainly cannot do anything about the display of lucrative items in the stores and on the pavements, you can definitely keep your mind off those things. For this, all you have to do is eat the right food; you will be surprised how many things we eat every day actually work as natural appetite suppressants!

As the saying goes, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. In this case, it keeps hunger at bay. Instead of making the terrible mistake of skipping breakfast- the most important meal of the day- eat something that keeps you full for a long time. An egg or an apple for breakfast reduces appetite dramatically; the trick is to find something with a high fibre content.

Toss yourself a dish of sumptuous salads to feel fuller before a meal. Sprinkle some olive oil or fat-free dressing, and the raw vegetables will automatically include fibre in your diet, making you eat smaller portions of the main course while providing the necessary nutrients. The same can be said for a glass of water; but be sure to take either at least 20 minutes before eating.

Keep handy a strip of chewing gum for times when you snack simply because you feel like munching something. Ensure that the gum is sugar-free, and avoid chewing on the same mush for hours on end. This will keep your mouth busy and suppress the craving for something to munch on.

Now this is something that can really come as a shock- a hot one! Spices are great in keeping hunger at bay; so, next time you prepare a dish with vegetables an lean proteins, go easy on the hot spices and sauces. They are known to significantly reduce cravings. If spicy main courses are not really palatable to you, go for a spicy appetizer instead. Sprinkle your soup with some red pepper for a fiery start to your lunch!

Eat as much fish as you can, especially salmon and tuna. These aquatic delights are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, minerals responsible for increasing the levels of the hormone leptin in your blood, thus making the brain believe that your hunger has been satisfied.

Feeling tired can often make us think that we are hungry when we actually aren"t. In such cases, it is better to opt for a cup of coffee instead of a snack; coffee is filling as well as energising, and works wonders in curbing your appetite.

Alternately, one can also take the help of diet pills that work to keep hunger at bay; if the sale of such appetite suppressants in the UK is to be believed, they have gained immense popularity in recent years; completely safe, they do not pose the risk of side-effects and don"t rob the system of necessary nutrients either.
