Can You SHRINK Your APPETITE For GOOD?
599306
You can but it starts with changing the amount of food you eat and shrinking your stomach. When you lose weight you tend to shrink your stomach as you require less food in relation to what you used to eat in one day. \n\nYou need to make sensible food choices and I have some siggestions which I have provided. If you want to lose weight in efforts of shrinking your stomach hence reducing your appetite you need to do this plan for life. You need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life! \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g lean meat & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white omlette with ham and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

I bought it and wasted my money.  It didn't eliminate my appetite one bit.  My advice is to change your eating habits.  Common sense here is invaluable.  Eliminate sweets and carbs.  Eat more raw and cooked vegs and more lean meat, and the pounds will drop off.

You're probably not getting enough of what your body needs to feel fuller!!! Like more fiber, and vegetables, and lean meat for protein!!!  And eating 6 smaller meals a day with a fruit like (apple) in between these meals really helps curb hunger and in a healthy way!!!

To help curb your appetite drink water (or a low calorie soft drink) when you feel hungry. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger, but even if you are hungry having something in your stomach may help. Turn to things other than food when you are happy, mad, sad, bored, etc. Go for a walk, work on a hobby, read a book...do something to take your mind of food. If you do eat, make it something low cal and healthy...keep "junk" food out of the house so it's not convenient. Start an exercise plan and try to get to where you are working out for about an hour each day. It will take time to do it properly, but you CAN get those pounds off and train yourself not to reward every emotion you have with food. Good luck!

Thats a really hard thing to do because your body is probably programed to think "time to eat" at night. When your body starts to kick in and do that drink some hot tea or make some popcorn. Drink or eat something that is light but will make you feel full. Eat less and less each night and hopefully the feeling will stop.

Yeah, it's just because you've gone too long without eating.  Just force yourself to eat something and you'll feel better.

This is not a stupid question at all, and you are definitely not alone. Restrictive dieting can often lead to periods of binge eating, its a psychological response to storing food to prepare for the next "famine" as such. Im told this reaction was a survival technique that helped humans evolve but now we dont need to stock up by binge eating and these habits end up just making us overweight and unhappy. Im speaking with experience since I am being treated for bulimia, dont have the answer yet but Im getting there I think. I would suggest that if its worrying you to go and have a chat with your doctor. There is an Aussie written book that you might like, its about letting go off the idea of dieting....heres the link.\nBest of luck\n\nhttp://www.ifnotdieting.com.au/cpa/htm/htm_store_product_view.asp?id=11

Yes, anxiety can certainly cause a lessening of appetite.\nAlso, if you have been dieting, the body and stomach eventually become used to lesser food, and your appetite signals will eventually diminish.

Tape a picture of a really obese person in front of you.  Everytime you feel an urge to dip in to the chocolate bowl, stare at that picture.  Put some healthy, low cal snacks in front of you & try to satisfy your urge that way.  Hard, but you can do it, use your will power!

I know, every time I turn on the TV or read an article it's about how something that was once good for you can now cause cancer, right? I think most of it is exaggerated though. I believe if you eat in moderation and stay away from eating out too much, you're gonna be just fine. And even if you don't, you're gonna be just fine. Just remember , food is fuel and whatever we eat should make our bodies feel good. Always remember what might taste really good, is not always good for us. But I think you already know this.

Since you're already on a roll, starve yourself.

I haven't heard of a way to remove that food-pleasure connection, but the good news is that a pleasure connection can kick in for some kinds of excercise. If you've heard of "runner's high" or endorphins that's what I mean.\n\nIn my own life I've found it easier to increase my excercise level than to cut down my food intake, so perhaps that will work for you too.

Help yourself then you can help others. If you don't need it give it to a needy family... there are children on our planet that go days without eating.
