There is nothing wrong with the desire to eat well and tasty. However, sometimes this desire becomes an obsession. Learn simple ways to combat increased appetite.
1. I would like to start with the fact that those who are fond of diets are most often captured by "zhora". When we cut back on our diet, we do not think about the harm we are doing to the body! And he, fighting for himself, makes us lose control over ourselves. That is why the first rule with any diet is to avoid hunger.
2. Eat often, but little by little. The body will know that it, dear, will always be fed, and you will not break down and pounce on food, like the last time.
3. Always plan your meals carefully. Do not allow a situation when you come home and do not know what to eat! Remember how it usually ends: you go to the nearest store and start grabbing everything under the influence of hunger: salads, pancakes, which you just need to heat up in the microwave, and a couple of cakes and rolls.
4. Before eating, do not consume alcoholic beverages, especially strong ones - they inhibit the satiety center, and you end up eating more.
6. Be sure to drink more. Often our hunger is … thirst! By the way, a cup of strong coffee or tea perfectly extinguishes your appetite!
7. Include fiber-rich foods in your diet, such as cereal bread, bran. They will give you a feeling of fullness for a long time. Also, eat more vegetables, especially green ones: they take more energy to process than they contain!
8. Also watch the amount of protein in the diet. Cottage cheese will saturate you better than a salad or an apple - remember this.
9. Eat from small dishes for better control over portion sizes. And never eat, say, cookies straight from the package! You will not be able to adequately assess the amount of food eaten.
10. Hungry and annoyed? Exercise will help, especially running and walking. Walk at a brisk pace of 2-3 km - and everything will be removed as if by hand!
11. Fill your life with new hobbies: start folding origami, embroidering, sign up for a swimming pool or an Italian language course … Make food stop completely engaging in your thoughts.
12. If you suddenly feel unreasonable hunger, you can chew fennel seeds.
13. Do not sit down to eat annoyed: this way you will develop the habit of "seizing" problems. If you already have one, find another way to relieve stress. The aforementioned walking is fine, by the way!
14. And the last thing: get enough sleep! Sleeping less than 8 hours a day slows down the production of the hormone responsible for feeling full.
