Many people often wonder “How to Curbs My Hunger and Lose Weight?”

Yo-yo diets or diets pills are not the answer.

It is crucial to know the foods that help to suppress and manage appetite and hunger. One way to decrease the risk of overeating and controlling hunger is to eat small meals frequently throughout the day. By doing so, it not promotes the proper functioning of the metabolism, but also reduces hunger.

When it comes to managing the appetite, it’s important to know what type of foods can help to reduce cravings and curbs your hunger.

Here are the list of foods that can eliminate hunger.

1. Almonds
To suppress hunger, avoid foods rich in carbohydrates. Instead, eat a handful of almonds as your snack. Studies showed that overweight women who ate 2 servings of almonds a day, ended up consuming fewer calories in total on each day. Although almonds are rich in calories and fat, they are also a good source of protein and fiber that help naturally eliminate hunger. Experts also agree that some of the fat in the almonds are not absorbed by the body, so its calories may well not be fully utilized.

2. Apples
Eating apples is highly beneficial to your body. An average size apple has only 70 calories and it’s super healthy and high in fiber. Apples are also a good source of pectin (a digestive fiber), that is known to slow down the activity of enzymes that break down starches and sugar. The absorption of carbohydrates and sugars is slowed down because of pectin’s fiber content; this helps prevent blood sugar spikes, which cause glucose intolerance, weight gain and diabetes starches and sugar.

3. Pine Nuts
Contrary to the name, pine nuts are not “nuts.” It is actually the edible seeds of pine. They are very small and crunchy, yet has a very smooth texture and they are delicious. Pine nuts are a great source of nutrients, essential minerals, vitamins and “heart friendly” monounsaturated fatty acids that help benefit in reducing cholesterol levels in the blood. Pine nuts are also known to suppress your appetite as well as an energy booster.

4. Oatmeal is rich in fiber and is a good source of complex carbohydrates that help stabilize insulin levels. Foods high in fiber such as oatmeal are slowly digested, which means they reduce the feeling of hunger for longer periods of time.

A bowl of traditional oatmeal consumed daily can reduce cholesterol by 8 to 23%.

5. Flax seeds

Flaxseed oil is the best known plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, but raw flax seeds are even better, especially for managing appetite. In addition to omega-3, barely 30 grams of flax seeds offer the added benefit of 8 grams of fiber. The more you eat fiber at all meals (or snacks), the more you can stabilize your blood sugar, helping to calm the hormones of hunger. You can mix flax seeds in your salad, daily juice, or even in your food. When buying flax seeds, make sure to buy the organic kind such as this.

6. Eggs

An egg has only 60 calories and its high protein content makes it a natural appetite suppressant. Studies have shown that people who eat eggs at breakfast, consume less calories in at the end of the day. Foods rich in proteins like eggs increase the secretion of a peptide called PYY which helps to suppress hunger naturally. Whether scrambled, boiled or poached, eggs are a good choice for breakfast or midday snack.

7. Salad
If you want to avoid overeating, try eating a small salad before each meal. Fiber helps slow the (sugar) in the blood, making you less likely to be hungry.

8. Green leafy vegetables
Lettuce, cabbage, bok choy, and other green leafy vegetables have so few calories that you do not even need to count them, but they will fill the belly and turn off the hungry signals in the brain. There are many ways you can consume those vegetables, you can stir them with garlic, onions, add a little bit of salt, or you can add a little bit of light dressing to it.

9. Soup

Soup is one of the best foods to manage appetite and weight loss. Research at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States has shown that men and women who consume 2 servings of low-calorie soups per day have lost as much as 50% more weight than those who consume even number of calories without taking soup. The secret is the combination of a large amount of water and a small amount of calories in a soup. Be sure to choose broths or vegetable soups, and not the creamy soup.

10. Water
Water is a potent inhibitor of appetite. At the first sign of hunger, drink 1 large glass of water and then wait 10 minutes, you will then see that you will almost always suppress your appetite.

If the water does not work for you, drink vegetable broths or vegetable juices 100% natural (without any addition). Warm one liter at a time, and for just 20 calories, you’ll be satisfied.
