Appetite Control Tips

Appetite is a funny thing. Some peoples’ appetite is controlled by hormones, external pressure (peer pressure), and others by pure habit.

In the video I go over some tips that’ll help you control your appetite so that you are not a slave to your food. Although easier said than done, without the self control and discipline these tips are worthless. You must first focus on being in tune with your desires and goals and execute on them as much as possible. It is not enough to simply read and not execute. You must follow through with action if you want to see change!

1. Control systemic stress: this is stress from internal mechanisms, which include eating the wrong foods and how it affects you systemically. Food does have a biological effect on us in that it can have a affect on our genetic makeup. This can be good or bad depending on our food choices. This is why you may notice a obese woman who births a child that the child then has difficulty losing weight and/or putting muscle on: their genetic make up is affected because of their history gene pool. You can change this by simply changing your food choices and thus controlling systemic stress

2. Sleep management: need I write more? if you are not getting in enough sleep you will struggle with your appetite. Typically when one has not gottten enough sleep they will experience a larger craving for carbs i.e. cookies, sweets, sugar, etc.

3. Control stimulants: stimulants such as coffee or monster energy drinks have a huge influence on your appetite and cravings. Stimulants can help you suppress the appetite, but it comes with a cost. Just like anything else in life you need to control the amount of stimulants you use

4. Drink more fluids: fluids is powerful in that it can trick you into thinking you are full when you are not! Every morning especially when dieting it is wise to drink at least 16 oz of water before eating. This will ensure you are keeping your cravings at bay and are kept satisfied

5. Increase step count: if you don’t have time to do cardio in your day try walking more. Walking more is just as effective if not more effective than too much cardio for general weight loss. You can track your steps with a pedometer, and focus on slowly increasing your step count

6. Prep Food in a Fun Way: food is meant to be enjoyed, and it is wise to consider how you are presenting your food to yourself. It may be a radical change you may have to implement, but it makes a big difference when the food is presented more cheerfully

7. Consider liquid calories over non liquid: choose smoothies or blending your food more often. I wouldn’t advise this all the way, but it may work for some people on the go constantly. The benefits of eating your calories over drinking them is when you chew your food the digestive process begins in the mouth, and you can begin to get the nutrients out of the food through simply chewing. When you include liquid calories though you are now removing that from the equation
