Reduce Appetite

There are many natural ways to reduce your appetite for weight control and health.

Home remedies typically help you stay healthy and will provide the fluids and nutrients that your body needs.

Natural Remedies to Reduce Appetite

Reducing your appetite with home remedies starts with a few simple lifestyle changes

Change the Way you Eat

Start by eating several smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large ones. This will allow for a slow release of energy.

Larger meals raise your energy faster but then allow for a big drop that creates hunger. Slow down when you are eating and allow your brain to figure out if you’re full or not.

Take time to have a conversation, watch a movie or read while you eat, or simply count the times you chew each bite.

Dietary Fiber

Another simple change is to ensure you increase your dietary fiber. This will help you feel full, will suppress your appetite, and will help your body eliminate waste. All great for those who wish to lose weight. High fiber foods include oranges, apples, peaches, grapes, and most vegetables.

Drink Plenty of Water

Water will not only help you feel full and reduce your appetite, but it will also flush your body of water weight and help you eliminate waste. If you do one thing for your health it should be to drink six to eight glasses of water each day.

There are many doctors and scientists who believe that humans often mistake hunger for thirst. If your body gets all the water it needs and is fully hydrated than many of the hunger signals will disappear.

Out of Sight - Out of Mind

Don’t keep food in your sight. Out of sight, out of mind really helps control your psychological appetite. If you do have food in sight make sure it is something you need, like an apple to increase your fiber intake.

Sleep

One important lifestyle change is to get sufficient sleep. Your body will often hold onto weight if you aren't sleeping enough. It does this to keep energy stores for when you are tired.

Pistachios

Pistachios are believed to help reduce your appetite in several ways. This nut contains cholecystokinin, which tells the brain that you're full in a very direct manner. Indirectly pistachios contain a mix of vitamins and minerals that allow you to feel relaxed and calm, creating a feeling of satisfaction and love. This helps to reduce you appetite as you aren't searching for food to feel happy.

Exercise

Part of your weekly exercise routine should be high intensity. This type of work out is believed to trigger hormones that reduce appetite. Take walks or do yoga, but also add three, twenty minute workouts of something like brisk walking, Zumba, or fast cycling.
