It is often very difficult not to succumb to the urge to eat something tasty, especially while dieting. But you should be able to distinguish between the feeling of real and false hunger, as well as know a few rules that will help reduce appetite and overcome hunger.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to overcome the feeling of hunger, it is better not to experience it. For this, there should be at least five meals. Only, of course, the food should not be high in calories, and the portions should not be large. When you are hungry, you increase your appetite.
Step 2
You often mistake thirst for hunger. Try drinking a glass of mineral water or tea without sugar. If you are really thirsty, then the feeling of hunger will pass.
Step 3
Before each meal, drink a glass of water or juice (tomato, carrot, celery juice, other vegetable). It will reduce your appetite a little and you will eat less.
Step 4
Take advantage of the knowledge of psychology, deceive your body. Place food in small plates to keep it feeling full. If the same amount of food is on a large plate, you will have the feeling that you have eaten little. Also, avoid dishes in bright active colors - they can increase your appetite. Psychologists say that it is best to choose blue plates to reduce appetite.
Step 5
When you need to lose weight, try not to eat foods prepared with a lot of spices - they increase your appetite. Also, don't eat a lot of salt.
Step 6
Moms probably told each of you in childhood that you should not rush when you eat, that you need to chew slowly. The moms were right - with this method, you eat less food.
Step 7
Do not refuse breakfast, especially the classic one - porridge. Grains take a long time to digest, so you will feel full for a long time.
Step 8
As a snack, try not to eat chocolates and cookies, but fruits, vegetables and nuts. Just remember that the apple, on the contrary, whips up the appetite, so it is better to eat half a banana, a pear or an orange. Nuts are high in calories, so do not get carried away with them - eat a few things.
Step 9
Aromatherapy works well to cope with an attack of hunger. As soon as you feel a strong urge for a snack, just sniff a bottle of orange, lemon or grapefruit oil. They are sold in pharmacies and can be carried with you.
Step 10
Try not to wear very loose clothing. In it, it will always seem to you that you can eat a little more. Fitting clothing will motivate you to refrain from overeating. If you feel like having a snack before bed, just drink a glass of tea with a drop of milk.
