Coping with hunger and appetite

How do you slim down when you’re always hungry? Hunger is known to be one of the most frequent triggers of gaining excess body fat. Hunger can lead to irritability, sleep disturbances and physical and mental fatigue.

Here we will look at all the possible ways to eliminate hunger, cramps and all the possible side effects of low-calorie diets.

It is also worth mentioning that all appetite-related disorders in the body are practically independent of the individual. In most cases, these are congenital or eventually acquired disorders of hunger regulation in the CNS.

Practical guidelines with hunger suppression:

1. Drinking warm water

Warm water helps loosen up the muscles in your digestive tract. This simple trick can suppress appetite for a small amount of time. Warm tea or coffee can be used. Especially coffee, as it contains caffeine. This in turn is a good appetite blocker. It is also worth reminding you not to resort to coffee all the time, it can be addictive.

2. Going out for a walk and jogging

A brisk walk or jog should do away with various cramps and appetites. In the same way irritation goes away with these two techniques. In practice a brisk walk should be 2 metres for 1 second. Running and walking also trigger the fat-burning process.

3. Low-calorie diet

Foods like apples, grapefruit, cabbage, onions, radishes, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and others give much more energy than what the body takes in to digest them.

Eating an apple or one of the above foods before any meal can greatly suppress your appetite.  This is because these foods are rich in fibre, which helps you to feel full much quicker.

4. Eating frequent meals

By splitting your normal daily meal from 3 to 6-8, you can see how hunger decreases over time, the feeling of lightness in the stomach is pronounced and fat reduction is guaranteed. As a reminder, you should eat every 2-3 hours. Slow carbohydrates (rice, buckwheat, various porridges) should be taken to provide the body with constant fuel (energy).

5. Take protein

Hunger is suppressed much faster with protein than with carbohydrates. Protein also causes the body to burn more calories, which leads to a higher metabolic rate and, at the same time, a lower stored fat mass.

6. Using fat burners

You can buy L-carnitine, Lipo-6x, ephedrine caffeine and others on the internet and in any sports nutrition shop. They help to burn fat, in most cases by suppressing appetite.
