Five Appetite Control Foods That Suppress Cravings

Without Adding Calories Food

Executive Summary about Calories Food by Mike Adams

Losing weight requires you to feel hungry from time to time. I have tried appetite suppressants. I have tried food combinations. I have tried meal-timing strategies. Your stomach will turn off the hunger signals thinking you have eaten a large quantity of food regardless of whether you are eating cabbage or cashews, but in fact the cabbage may only contain 20 calories while the cashews contain as much as 900 or even 1000 calories. Two cups of cashews provides probably half the calories you need for the entire day, whereas two cups of cabbage provides virtually no calories whatsoever.

Emergency appetite control food #1 Fresh drinking water. That’s right: water is a powerful appetite suppressant and if you drink an 8-ounce glass of water when you first start feeling hungry, you will find that it suppresses your appetite in nearly every case. You can get organic vegetable broth from Trader Joe’s, health food stores, or even many of the finer grocery stores that have a natural health section. Those ingredients are MSG, yeast extract, autolyzed yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, and other similar ingredients.

Emergency appetite control food #2 You may have also heard these called “negative calories food.” Remember the calories for the green leafy vegetables are free. You only count the calories of the salad dressing itself. I do not count the calories in onions or garlic either, nor do I count the calories in soy sauce since none of these spices have very high calorie density.

Emergency appetite control food #3 This is one of my favorites: I call it my “instant banana pudding” recipe, but of course, it’s nothing at all like store-bought pudding. Add a quart of soy milk to the blender, then a couple of scoops of unsweetened banana-flavored simply natural spirutein soy protein powder. Add stevia powder as the sweetener.

Emergency appetite control food #4 The next food is pickles. That’s right, pickles. Nearly all pickles you find in grocery stores contain artificial food coloring. Just don’t buy pickles containing any added sugars or artificial colors.

Emergency appetite control food #5 Here’s an easy one: apples. Yep, apples. Eat the largest apple you can find. 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.

If you’re crazy 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. 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. Fiber tablets or capsules would include psyllium husk, glucomannan, oat bran fiber, apple pectin fiber, or other natural fibers. You can find fiber supplements at any health food store. By consuming both the fiber and the water before you start eating, you’ve already significantly turned off your appetite. Then by consuming these extremely low caloric density foods and beverages, you will further suppress your appetite. Also, you don’t want to starve yourself by eating these 100-calorie meals all day long. You will experience moments of intense hunger, and these low-calorie, filling foods are one excellent way to get through a difficult time without packing on the pounds.
