For the sake of a slim and beautiful figure, many women are ready for anything: exhausting diets, fitness and even fat burners. But in most cases, eating less is enough to maintain your weight.
Here are some ways to control your appetite.
1. Drink before meals. Make it a rule to drink a glass of water, tea, or juice before every meal. The liquid will fill the stomach and reduce hunger. It's also a good way to kickstart digestion.
2. Give up spicy and salty foods. Salt, seasonings and spices whet the appetite, as they contribute to the secretion of gastric juice.
3. Eat a slice of dark chocolate before meals. Bitter chocolate is a good appetite suppressant, so eat 2-3 slices before you start your meal. The effect will be better if you do not just eat chocolate, but suck it like a lollipop for a couple of minutes.
4. Let there always be fruit on the table. If you are suffering from severe hunger, and it is still far from lunch or dinner, then eat the fruit. This will allow you to feel full without harming your health and shape.
5. Drink kefir or yogurt. Fermented milk products fill the stomach well, while they are very low in calories. It is better to choose foods with the lowest fat percentage.
6. Eat often, but in small portions. Thanks to this way of eating, you will always be full, but you will not overeat.
7. Drink tea, not coffee. Coffee makes you appetite, and tea fills the stomach and leaves less room for food. It is best to add a slice of lemon and some honey instead of sugar to the tea.
8. Add legumes to vegetable salads. Legumes fill you up quickly, so adding beans or peas to your vegetable salad will make it very satisfying without the extra calories.
