5 ways to naturally curb your appetite (slideshow)
Inulin
Inulin has been used for hundreds of years as a natural way to improve bowel function, digestion and gut health, as well as to control appetite and support heart health.
During the journey from stomach to small intestines, inulin mixes with water and undergoes fermentation, which transforms it into acetate, propionate and butyrate, which are short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) involved in sugar production.
SCFAs formed in the colon, especially propionate, affect those areas of the brain responsible for reward-driven behavior associated with food. As a result, people may find high-calorie foods less appealing and reduce their calorie intake.
It isn’t always easy, however, to control what you take in through diet alone. To ensure that you get inulin on a consistent basis, look for a high-quality supplement.
