5 Foods That Suppress Your Appetite
The cold
and ugly truth about weight loss is that you will be hungry some of the
time. While there are many tactics to reduce hunger--from avoiding
refined carbohydrates to meal-timing strategies--the best may be
finding food and beverages you can consume when you're feeling intense
hunger pains that don't have a lot of calories, reports NewsTarget.com.
These 5 foods really do control your appetite and suppress cravings--without adding calories:
Water or broth
Green leafy vegetables, including lettuce, cabbage, and bokchoy
Homemade instant banana pudding
Pickles
Apples
The
idea is that if you eat two cups of anything, your tummy will thank you
by turning off those gnawing hunger pains. But if the two cups of food
is cabbage instead of cashews--20 calories vs. 900 calories--you have
succeeded in curbing your appetite without incurring a lot of calories,
notes NewsTarget. That's the idea behind appetite control foods.
Appetite Control Food No. 1: Water or Broth
Fresh
drinking water--from a tap or bottle--is a powerful appetite
suppressant. NewsTarget says if you drink 8 oz. of water at the first
sign of hunger and then wait 10 minutes, you'll almost always suppress
your appetite. If water doesn't work for you, drink organic vegetable
(or chicken) broth. Heat it up a quart at a time, and for only 20
calories you'll be full.
Appetite Control Food No. 2: Green Leafy Vegetables
Lettuce,
cabbage, bokchoy, and other green leafy vegetables have so few calories
that you don't even need to count them, but they will fill your tummy
and turn off the hunger signals to your brain. Don't like to eat them
plain? Add a low-calorie salad dressing (look for one that is 25
calories per tablespoon) and enjoy. Or, stir-fry the veggies in water.
Add onions, garlic, and soy sauce for more flavor.
Appetite Control Food No. 3: Instant Banana Pudding
Don't
look for this in the grocery store. You have to make it yourself.
Purchase the ingredients from a health food store. Here's the recipe
from NewsTarget.com:
Pour a quart of soy milk into a blender.
Add two scoops of unsweetened banana-flavored simply natural spirutein
soy protein powder. Add stevia powder as a sweetener. Blend. While the
blender is running, add 1/2 tablespoon of guar gum powder and 1/2
tablespoon of xanthan gum powder, both of which are thickeners.
Appetite Control Food No. 4: Pickles
Buy
natural pickles only, avoiding those with added sugars and artificial
food coloring. An entire jar of pickles has only 50 calories.
Appetite Control Food No. 5: Apples
Apples
do have a few calories and a few carbs, but they will fill you up for
quite a while, which will stop you from eating more calorie-dense
foods, notes NewsTarget. The bulky fiber of apples will fill you up
before you overeat
Not alot but, hey its something.
