5 ways to naturally curb your appetite (slideshow)
Protein
There are a number of hormones in your body that are responsible for signaling to you when you are hungry or full. Get these hormones out of whack and your weight can suffer.
Ghrelin is your appetite inducing hormone. It’s the one that yells out, “Hey, it’s time to eat.” Ghrelin levels rise before each meal and fall immediately after eating.
Leptin is the hormone that counters the growling stomach from ghrelin. It’s the hormone that tells you that you’ve had enough and are full.
A diet high in protein has been shown to help suppress that “growling ghrelin” to keep you from feeling so hungry. It’s especially helpful to start your day with a good protein-rich breakfast. It even has a positive impact on leptin, giving you that full feeling longer.
