Many people really dislike taking supplements or pills of any kind. That’s true even when it comes to natural appetite suppressants. Even though they have been proven safe and an extremely effective way to curb appetite;some people choose to try more natural ways to suppress their hunger and cravings. And believe it or not there are some very common sense adjustments you can make to the way you eat that will help you feel full and satisfied and help you to eat less.
EAT SMALLER MORE FREQUENT MEALS
It only makes sense that if you eat more often you won’t feel as hungry in between meals. So instead of eating the typical three meals a day, try eating five to six smaller meals spaced about 3 hours apart. And for goodness sakes don’t skip meals. Many dieters make the fateful mistake of skipping meals thinking that if they miss a meal or two that their weight will come off faster. Sound logical but it simply is not the case. All you’re really accomplishing is building up a ravenous hunger. A hunger we might add that longs to be satisfied, so that when you finally do eat, you scarf down waaay to much food, defeating your purpose in skipping the meals in the first place.
And never ever skip breakfast. This is probably the most commonly skipped meal. Take some time and enjoy a nice bowl of natural oatmeal. Grandma used to say “it sticks to your ribs”, which is a sweet way of saying it reduces your hunger for a long time. Not to mention it is high in fiber and goes a long way to help you reduce high cholesterol as well.
So make a habit of eating smaller meals more often throughout the day. Bottom line here is that keeping your stomach full is a very natural appetite suppressant.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER
This is a point that can’t be emphasized enough. Drink Water! Drink Water! Drink Lot’s of Water. It will definitely keep you feeling full and less hungry.
- When you first wake up in the morning your first order of business should be to start hydrating your body. Drink 16 ounces of water before you hit the coffee or anything else.
- 20 Minutes before each meal or snack drink 16 oz of water.
- During each meal drink 16 ounces of water and …
- Another 16 oz of water after your meal.
You may think drinking that much water would make you “float away”, but we promise you won’t. We also promise that you will feel full and satisfied without the constant cravings. And should you still feel hungry after that …. you guessed it …. drink some more water. It helps expand your stomach and is hands down the natural appetite suppressant par excellence.
FRUITS ARE YOUR FRIEND
If you want to stay full and satisfied throughout the day make sure fruit is a regular part of your diet. Nothing we’ve found is more satisfying than fruit. How long have we heard, “An Apple A Day Keeps the Doctor Away”? Well the truth is that an apple a day also keeps the hunger away. Of course apples aren’t your only choice. Just choose one you like and enjoy.
HAVE A SALAD
How many times have you gone to a restaurant and had a salad before your meal? Lot’s of times, right? And how many times after eating the salad have you said to yourself “I’m too full to eat the main course” which isn’t even on the table yet? You can probably guess the moral of this story. Eating salad is a terrific way to eat something healthy and take away hunger. We’re big proponents of eating salad whenever you feel hungry. Even if it’s not a regularly scheduled meal or snack. Another fantastic natural appetite suppressant.
Now truth be told we could keep this list growing bigger and bigger. There are simply lots of natural ways to suppress appetite without taking a pill or a supplement. As we reviewed the best possible ways to feel less hungry we found that these simple methods worked great. Most reviewers found that these methods combined with a safe appetite suppressants like Hoodia or Caralluma were all it took to fend off cravings and stay satisfied throughout the day.
