How to turn off appetite (stomach, carbs, cardio, protein)

[PriscillaVanilla]

How do you turn off your appetite when it starts getting out of control? And eating more protein doesn't help?

Drink water.

Distraction. Hunger can be mental as well. Keep busy do that you aren’t thinking about food.

If you must eat, which you should only if it’s truly hunger, portion out the food. Do not grab from a bag and give in to mindless eating.

Protein doesn’t really fill me up :/ it’s only 4 cals/gram. Fat does, so maybe try a serving of almonds? A few cubes of cheese?

Fiberous foods like apples or foods with volume like popcorn.

Try not to do things that elicit hunger ie chewing gum, sucking on mints, etc

Do you mean, over-eating at a meal?

Eating after you're full?

The stomach can get used to smaller portions and one can feel full on less food. The stomach (and body) adapt.

1 TBS of Apple Cider Vinegar in 8-10 oz of water will kill hunger during fasting.

Very important, is to look at the reason why you're over-eating.

The mentality about why and how food you eat can be changed.

I like hard boiled eggs as something to "fill you up".
They only have 78 calories each.

If I didn't put a couple in my salad on my low cal days, I'd get very hungry.

Eggs, the greatest comeback in the history of the modern food supply era. It's amazing how filling a single hard-boiled egg can be and how little of an impact it has on your diet.

I'm also a huge advocate of chugging cold (preferably iced) water as well, something about the cold that creates a super full sensation.

Cardio! Sure feels like my stomach shrinks and I can't eat as much food.

Key is to shrink your stomach. Take this and implement it.

Day 1 - No carbs after 6 pm, lots of water.
Day 2 - Do not eat till at least 12 pm. No carbs after 6 pm, maybe an apple.
Day 3 - Do not eat till at least 12 pm. No carbs after 6 pm, lots of water, fruits if anything.

By now you have shrank your stomach a bit and you no longer should be getting cravings past 6 pm. The key to this whole thing is to portion control with intermittent fasting. Try this and I guarantee you will get control over your appetite.

When you say "out of control" are you talking about being actually hungry, boredom or something else?

If you are actually hungry, then you aren't eating enough or you aren't eating foods that will satiate you for as long as you would like.

Whichever, your body is not getting something it needs. Try adding a slow-burning carb to your protein and drink more water.

If it's boredom or something else, can you take a walk or do something else to refocus your energies?

That works for you and it may work for others but it wont work for everyone.
