Natural Appetite Suppressant Foods

Depending on the time of the day and how hungry one is, the right quantity of these foods will have to be consumed. For example, it is not recommended, that one has fruits after dusk. Here is a list foods which will help in alleviating hunger.

Apples
Apples are the best appetite suppressants. The fiber content in the apples gives a feeling of fullness. The other benefit of eating an apple is that it takes longer to digest. It is advised to chew the apples well, as the brain takes 20 minutes to understand that the stomach is full. Chewing well will ensure that one gets the feeling of fullness, while one is still eating the apple.

Citrus Fruits
Fruits like oranges, tangerines, sweet limes, etc. can be had, whenever one is hungry. The best about these fruits is that they are a good source of fiber, due to which a person does not feel hungry soon enough. Since they are watery in nature, they do not cause weight gain, and are therefore recommended for people on a weight loss diet. However, one should not make juice out of these fruits, as it will not only lose all the nutrients, but it also will be stripped off, of its rich fiber content, which actually causes appetite suppression.

Green Tea
Green tea not only burns fat but also is a very good appetite suppressant food. It stimulates the release of hormones, which are responsible for curbing food cravings. One can have a couple of cups of green tea through the day, whenever one feels hunger pangs.

Almonds
Almonds contain pinolenic acid. Using this acid, the body is able to manufacture hormones, that suppress hunger. Therefore, almonds are recommended to be had either as a late afternoon snack or between breakfast and lunch. People on a weight loss diet are recommended that they have about 5 to 6 almonds. However, to derive the best benefits from them, it is important that one chews them well.

Oatmeal
Very often dietitians suggest an oatmeal breakfast, as it is one of the best appetite suppressing foods. The main constituents of oatmeal are carbohydrates, which take longer to burn, to be used for energy. Hence the person does not feel hungry often. At the same time oatmeal is also rich in fiber which is responsible for giving you a satiated feeling for a longer period.

Flaxseed
Flaxseed should be consumed raw to derive the best benefits of fiber content in it. If you do not like flaxseed taste, it can be added to your bowl of oatmeal or salad dressings as well. This will ensure that you have a double serving of the appetite suppressing foods.

Salads
It is advisable to consume a big bowl of salad before every meal. The fiber content in salad slows the process of glucose entering into the bloodstream, due to which the person will not feel hungry soon. One can bring variety to the high fiber diet by alternating between vegetables and greens. Try to include as many colors as you can in your salad bowl and try to alternate between different dressings, so that you are not bored of eating salads.

Soups
Soups are the best way to suppress hunger. However, it does not mean that you have creamy soups. Consume broths or clear vegetable soups to lose weight and be satiated for longer. Avoid using carbohydrate rich vegetables to make the soup, so that you do not up the carbohydrate quotient in your diet.

Salmon
If you love gorging on fish, then you will be happy to know, that salmon is an appetite suppressant, however, you will have to eat raw salmon as an appetizer. Raw salmon contains healthy fats and proteins, due to which after eating salmon the person does not feel hungry and ends up consuming far less number of calories.

Chocolate
The bittersweet taste of the pure dark chocolate will give you a very satisfied feeling. Although you should not forget that all chocolates are not appetite suppressants. Therefore, milk chocolates, etc., are not to be consumed for suppressing appetite.

Coffee
Coffee is one of the appetite suppressant foods. You can have a cup or two cups of coffee with non-fat cream. Try to avoid sugar in the coffee. However, make sure you also consume sufficient quantity of water along with coffee, so that you do not dehydrate yourself, as coffee dehydrates the system.

Whey Protein Powder
Whey protein helps in building muscle mass. The muscle mass burns the fats easily, which helps in weight loss. At the same time it also gives you a feeling of fullness. One can use whey protein to either make milkshakes or smoothies and add different fruits for added benefit.

Vegetable Juice
Juices made from wheat germ, vegetables, etc., have become very popular in recent times. These juices help in detoxifying the body as much as they suppress appetite. Remember these drinks should be low in calories and should not contain sugar. The juices keep hunger at bay. However, I would recommend that you have the juice along with fiber in it.

Watermelon
Watermelon is known to be a rich source of fiber. The water content in watermelon ensures one feels satiated soon after eating a few pieces of watermelon. If you are going out for a meal, then you can have a small bowl of watermelon before venturing out, so that you do not end up over-stuffing yourself.

Pine Nuts
Pine nuts are said to have maximum amount of proteins. It is a regular practice in Serbia to consume a handful of pine nuts at meal time. The pine nuts are said to stimulate two hunger suppressing hormones. Therefore, whenever you feel hungry, you know you should be reaching for pine nuts, as opposed to chips and fizzy drinks.

Berries
Berries include cherries, strawberries, mulberries, blueberries, salmonberries, raspberries, lychee, etc. They are rich in fiber and are known for their antioxidant properties. Eating a handful of berries will satiate your hunger and you will not feel hungry for a longer period.

Natural Pickles
If a survey had to be carried among food items to find, which food item has the highest satiety rate, then pickles will certainly top this list. According to studies carried out, natural pickles have a higher rate of pound-for-pound satiety rate. Therefore, if 1 pound of pickles and same quantity of French fries is consumed, a person will be far more satisfied with pickles as opposed to French fries. The only trick that one needs to remember is that one should stick to natural pickles, so that they are not loaded with preservatives and sugars.

Water
Water helps in keeping the body hydrated and keeps hunger at bay. If you have a glass of water before your meals it will help in suppressing your hunger. Since the brain takes about twenty minutes to register, that the stomach is full, it is recommended that water be had at least 20 minutes before meals.

If you are on a weight loss diet, then it is best to consult your dietitian for the right quantity of these foods, which will ensure you are able to derive the best benefits from them. The best part of all the appetite suppressant foods is that they do not have side-effects. These foods will help you lose weight over a period of time, minus the cravings and starving!

Positively Begin Your New Day

By Krista Butler

1. Drink A Glass Of Water As Soon As You Wake Up
This re-hydrates your body, revs up your digestive system, and gets things flowing. You may notice positive changes like clearer skin and better digestion. Bonus points if you add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.

2. Think Of One Thing For Which You Have Gratitude
This sets the stage for positivism throughout the day. If you come up with three or five things, even better.

3. Step Outside And Take A Deep Breath
Fill your lungs with fresh air. Even if it’s cold outside. This only takes 10 seconds! It reminds you that you are alive and breathing.

4. Move Your Body
You don’t necessarily have to do an intense workout before breakfast, but moving your body even a little is a great way to get the blood flowing and shake the body into wake-up mode. Simply doing a few stretches is a great option. Or turn on your favorite song and dance like no one is watching.

5. Say Your Affirmations
Look into the mirror and say something positive to yourself. Some ideas:

  • I radiate beauty, confidence and grace.
  • Every cell in my body is healthy and vibrant.
  • I feel great!

Crossfit

Set a timer on your watch or phone for 20 minutes. Do 5 pull-ups, 10 pushups, and 15 squats, in that order. That’s 1 round. Do as many rounds as you can before the time runs out.


Pullup
Use an overhand grip to hang from a pullup bar with your arms straight. Pull your chest to the bar. Pause, and then return to the starting position.


Pushup
Assume a pushup position. With your elbows tucked, lower your chest until it’s just a few inches off the floor. Pause, and push yourself back up.


Squat
Stand with your feet set slightly beyond shoulder width. Now push your hips back and lower your body as far as possible. Stand back up.

Solution Oriented Mind

Problem Oriented vs Solution Oriented - By Steve Mueller

Every person approaches a problem in a different way. Some focus on the problem or the reason why a problem emerged (problem focused thinking). Others prefer to think about possible solutions that help them to solve a problem (solution focused thinking).


Approaching a difficult situation problem oriented might be helpful if we attempt to avoid similar problems or mistakes in the future, but when it comes to solving the problem we simply waste large amounts of our precious time! Problem focused thinking does not help us at all to solve difficult situations, which is especially necessary in times where one must find quick solutions to an upcoming problem. Furthermore the problem focused approach can have negative effects on ones motivation.

“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.” - Suzy Kassem

We start to think solution oriented once we are aware that we cannot change certain facts/problems and will only spend our time in an inefficient way when we seek for the possible reasons for these situations. By clarifying the reasons why a problem need to be solved and the tasked required is important then we can focus on solutions in attaining goals we desire.


5 Traits of a Solution Oriented Person - By Wendy Nicole


  1. Have the ability to look at the situation for what it is. Don’t get emotionally involved. Evaluate the facts and only focus on the possibility of what could be the future.
  2. Systematic and strategic. After assessing the situation, they look for ways to bring their idea to life. What happened or what was is no longer a factor. Their intention is to move from point A to point B. They are intentional and they are relentless in their pursuit to change their reality.
  3. Doesn't feed the fear and doesn't bow down to excuses….the shoulda, couldas,and if’s have no place in their efforts to move forward. They have the ability to ask themselves the hard questions. They don’t run from the ugly truth. They are willing to face it so that they don’t make the same mistake again. They don’t get stuck in the “I don’t know zone” because they are willing to explore their options. They are able to stay calm in the midst of chaos. They have an idea of what the end result looks like. They make decisions that are in alignment with their purpose. They don’t make blind decisions. Consideration, research, and soul searching is required to help them become effective decision makers.
  4. Hands down are a “Get it Done Person” regardless of adversity, limited or no resources. When faced with a No or unsatisfactory situation they are determined to make things pan out in their favor because their WHY has been defined and they have a clear picture of their desired future self.
  5. Solution Oriented people excel in the midst of madness. They are able to see clear through the bullshit and zero in on what matters the most, their goals, their happiness, and personal welfare.
