6 Dietitian Tips How to Control Your Appetite.

 

 

Dietitian Dr. Ludmila Denisenko advises us how to win the hunger. She suggests a few simple ways:

1. We often eat when we’re thirsty, because the centers of hunger and thirst in the brain adjacent to each other. Therefore, when you feel hungry, ask yourself: Is it really hunger, maybe it is thirst? Drink slowly, sip by sip a glass of room temperature water and wait until after 15 – 20 minutes. If that does not help you stop feeling hungry, try other ways.

2. The doctor says many of her patients (and she herself often does) when they feel hungry, they go to the bathroom and brush their teeth. If you use strong, very angry toothpaste, not just you will not want to eat, but also delicious food would seem repulsive. While brushing your teeth, do not forget to thoroughly clean the tongue, and you will lose your appetite for a long time.

3. Even more radical way is to take a shower and dry your hair. In doing so consistently watch your body in the mirror. If the figure is far from ideal, you stop to think of hunger, and you would not want to eat.

4. Very often a strong appetite is seen in people who do not take enough sleep at night, which is less than 8 hours and are not able to take a nap during the day. Lie down and sleep for 20-30 minutes. Short rest will give vigor and save you from unnecessary thoughts about food.

5. It often happens to confuse true hunger with the “emotional” hunger. Maybe you are in terms of emotional hunger. That’s why phone call a friend, relative or anyone else to whom you care. The doctor says that real hunger is when you open the fridge and it is unimportant what you will eat, and emotional hunger is when we want a particular type of food, such as chocolate, the same kind as that which we once got from a dear person. So if you were gripped by “emotional” hunger, grab the phone and call someone, with whom you can talk for at least 20 minutes. If you do not call, turn on the Internet and go to your favorite forum. Have fun and forget about hunger.

6. There is large number of flavors, which reduces appetite. These flavors are: green apple, banana, lavender, roses, conifers (cypress, pine, juniper), lemon, orange, grapefruit. This includes aromas of spices: anise, basil, cloves, ginger, bay leaves, cinnamon, coriander, marjoram, nutmeg, rosemary, celery, thyme. You should buy in a pharmacy a bottle of one of these aromatic oils. Always carry a bottle with you and inhale the aromatic oil both nostrils, ten minutes before meals.
