What Foods Suppress Your Appetite?

What foods suppress your appetite? High fiber foods are the best foods to help you suppress your appetite and make you fuller. When your appetite is suppressed, you will eat fewer calories and the result of that is weight loss.

Some of the best fiber foods to eat to suppress your appetite are:

• Fruits and vegetables like apples, oranges, bananas, broccoli, spinach, green beans, etc.
• Whole grains like brown rice, oatmeal, barley, buckwheat, millet, etc.
• Chia Seeds
• Unsalted almonds, cashews, peanuts, etc.

Research studies have shown that high fiber diets are associated with lower obesity rates.

Protein Foods

Eating more protein in your diet will help to suppress your appetite and make you fuller and eat less calories.

Some of those high protein foods are:

• Lean meats like protein, turkey, fish, steak, beef, etc.
• Eggs
• Beans and peas
• Greek Yogurt
• Soy Products

Honey

What some people don’t know is that honey has been known to suppress the hunger hormone ghrelin while making people feel fuller for long periods of time.  Honey is a more suitable and healthier replacement over sugar for your foods.

Dark Chocolate

Eating dark chocolate over milk chocolate has been shown through research studies to suppress your appetite. A study showed that people ate less during their next meal after snacking on dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.

Drinking Water

Studies have also shown that drinking a large glass of water before a meal has been found to make a person feel fuller and less hungry after a meal.  A research study examined 50 overweight females that drank 1.5 liters of water daily for 8 weeks.

This caused a reduction in appetite and weight which resulted in greater fat loss. Another study showed that drinking soup before eating a meal suppressed the appetite of the subjects.

Exercise

Exercise has been found through studies before eating a meal to suppress appetite hormones especially after high intensity workouts. That is a research review that covered about 20 different studies.

Stress

Stress has been linked to comfort eating based off numerous studies. So, the less stress you have in your life the more inclined that you will eat less food.

Ginger

A small amount of ginger powder has been shown through research studies to reduce appetite and make you feel fuller.

The Bottom Line is there are a lot of whole foods that you can eat that can help naturally suppress your appetite. Those foods are fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc. And drinking lots of water daily as well as taking ginger powder regularly can help reduce your appetite.
