Natural Appetite Suppressants

If you are struggling with an insatiable appetite, it might be getting in the way of losing 
weight, or just causing you to spend a lot of your time thinking about food. There is a lot 
to learn about hunger cues and figuring out if you really are hungry or not, but if you just 
want to lessen your appetite a little, the following natural methods can help.

Green Tea

When you are looking for a healthy beverage, skip the soft drink or sugary juice, and go 
for green tea instead. Not only is this a healthier option with a lower amount of sugar 
and caffeine, but it includes green tea extract, which is great for suppressing your 
appetite. This is one of many reasons it is recommended when you are trying to lose 
weight. Green tea has been known to help with providing antioxidants your body needs, 
balance out your metabolism, and regulate the hormones that regulate your hunger and 
appetite.

Fenugreek

In terms of herbs that can help suppress your appetite, fenugreek is one of the best 
ones. This is actually part of the legume family, though it is classified as an herb. You 
can get ground fenugreek, which is ground from the seeds of this plant. Fenugreek 
contains lots of fiber, which helps to reduce your appetite, as well as provide other 
health benefits like balancing your cholesterol and even helping to regulate your blood 
sugar levels.

Nuts

As far as foods to eat, add a little more nuts to your diet. Yes, these are higher in fat, but 
they also contain fiber, protein, and plenty of other nutrients your body needs. They are 
considered healthy fats that does your body good and can also help to suppress your 
appetite between meals. Have a handful of nuts and cheese as a snack, or a healthy 
breakfast with a slice of whole grain bread, some nut butter, and sliced bananas on top. 
Just be careful with your portion sizes since they are a bit higher in fat.

Essential Oils

If you are interested in more holistic remedies for reducing your appetite, try essential 
oils. Quite a few of them have been known to help with appetite suppression, including 
peppermint and lemon, but grapefruit is among the best. Grapefruit itself is great for 
reducing hunger and appetite, so it makes sense that the pure essential oil would also 
be beneficial. You will also get some extra antioxidants and important enzymes your 
body needs.
