Hunger inhibitors: They work to reduce appetite.

Many are unable to follow a hunger diet, which makes it easy to get off the food plan and difficult to get back on track and return to smaller portions of food. And there are many who gain weight over time not because they follow strict diets but because during the day they tend to have a few snacks too many.

Or to overeat in the evening.

In this article we will see a list of natural hunger inhibitors, that is, coming from plant and fruit extracts, collected by nutritionist Mark Adams , creator of the Honest Food Guide project .

For each substance we will also see the properties and indications of use, so that we know what can help us based on our problem. For example, if we have a sweet tooth we can try some supplements, if ours is a mixed hunger others. Same thing if we suffer from nervous hunger.

On page one we see the herbal remedies.
Instead on page two the nutrients (mineral salts and amino acids).

In most cases, these products cannot be taken in pregnancy and lactation.
In any case, it is best to seek advice from your doctor before purchasing them.

HUNGER INHIBITORS: NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

Herbal remedies to reduce hunger.

   Tea from the Stellaria Media plant also called Chickpea grass. Centocchio tea has the effect of progressively reducing hunger, accelerating metabolism, aiding digestion and calming states of anxiety and stress. For a stronger action, it can be used in dry extract or in the form of mother tincture to be dissolved in water. Ideal for those who suffer from nervous hunger and have problems with swelling and digestion.

2. Chà de bugre.

   Almost impossible to find in Italy, it is a very well-known herb in Brazil. It acts as a hunger inhibitor and has a strong draining action, fighting cellulite and the stagnation of liquids in the tissues.
   It is found as an herb from which to prepare an infusion, to drink especially in the morning, for one or two cups. You can buy it here.

3. Inulin.

   It is a fiber that works by reducing the absorption of carbohydrates and promoting the sense of satiety. Generally well tolerated, it greatly promotes a sense of satiety and lowers blood sugar. Inulin weight loss is slow but effective: weight loss and lowering of blood glucose have generally been found in diabetics after treatment for at least 8-9 weeks. It also has a prebiotic action, that is, it promotes the well-being of good intestinal bacteria.
   It should be taken in this way: dissolve half a teaspoon of inulin powder in a large glass of water and drink it in the morning.

4. Grapefruit essential oil.
   

   It has a strong and citrusy smell, an intense scent and antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as immunostimulants. Ideal for those who are hungry during the day due to the sensation of feeling weak, tired or fatigued. In fact, the smell is a strong inhibitor of hunger.
   It also contains gamma linoleic acid, which acts as an appetite suppressant.

   How to use it. It is used both in aromatherapy, simply by smelling it every time you feel the stimulus of hunger, but it can also be ingested to overcome hunger “from fatigue”, that is the urge to eat to get yourself up. In this case, a drop in half a glass of liquid is enough, one to two times a day.
