Fantastic 4 - ways to manage appetite

Are you looking for some ways to help accelerate your fat loss? one of the important factors in loosing weight is your ability to control your hunger and cravings. Ofcourse when you're in calorie restriction, you are going to feel some hunger otherwise there won't be any calorie deficit or fat loss happening!

If you're already a seasoned gym bunny, you'll know the importance of drinking lots of water, eating at least 5-6 meals a day and eating plenty of fibre as part of your healthy weight management plan. So thought I'd just throw in a few more tips that you might not have thought of to help you with managing your appetite. Check it out below!

Walking after dinner. Walk for 25 minutes every night after dinner. The benefits of walking after dinner compared to walking before dinner are many. It can lower your blood sugar by 50 per cent, but best of all when one exercises as described above, your body is burning calories the whole time you sleep.

Most people eat little through the day relative to their large meals and evening snacks. This raises the blood sugar really high before sleeping. Higher bedtime sugars directly create extra weight and extra cholesterol and lower anti-oxidants.Walking for 25 minutes after dinner raises your metabolism, releases growth hormones which suppress appetite for late night snacks and act as a natural fat burner overnight. Allow an average of 3-5 weeks for these changes to impact your metabolism.

WEIGH IN Irregularly! - Weighing yourself every other day or even every week can 'do your head in'. If you don't see anything shift on the scales you'll automatically feel stressed. If you feel stressed, you might just reach for the naughty foods which aren't on your eating plan.

It has been found, that the stress of weigh-ins create a chemical in our brains which actually retains the fat and thus we reach those dreaded plateaus. Instead, I'd rather take fortnightly pics and measurements as a true picture of how you're doing.

Eat Apples. Yep, apples, preferably green ones. If you feel the hanger pangs rumbling in your stomach, go grab an apple. Sure, you'll get some calories and some carbs, but the apple will fill you up for quite a while, and that will stop you from eating far more calorie-dense foods.

Eating an apple is an effective strategy to curb your appetite because If you're really hungry, it's very easy to reach for some processed foods (bag of chips, for example) and start munching away until you've consumed 1000 calories or more. And that's about half the total calories you need for the entire day! But it would be very hard to eat 1000 calories worth of apples. It's impossible.

You'll fill up even before reaching 400 calories, probably. Apples are great appetite suppressing foods because the bulky fiber fills up your stomach and turns off your appetite control hormones before you overeat. Plus, apples contain various phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals. They're even a decent source of folic acid.

Brush your teeth. Cleaning your teeth and flossing after meals will help reduce your desire to snack. This action is more to do with your psychology than anything. I mean who wants to go and eat again after brushing their teeth! its just a way of telling your mind that you've had your meals for the day and that's it.
