How to stop hunger? The big mistake that I too have made in the past, especially when I suffered from bulimia at the age of twenty, and which I have learned not to make anymore, is to treat hunger as an enemy.

HOW TO PASS THE HUNGER: THE TWO MISTAKES NOT TO MAKE

Hunger is a symptom, and controlling yourself not to eat is a method that doesn’t work in the long run.

Self-control over food is not enough to keep appetite at bay especially if it means for us avoiding that food or avoiding eating at all.

The reason is not that we should not control ourselves at all, but lies precisely in the common definition of “controlling hunger”. In fact, experts recommend not using self-control as a rigid form of “all or nothing”. Research has shown that this way of controlling hunger is the worst: we become too rigid, with the result that at the first mistake we seem to have lost control, not to be able. And therefore we feel at the mercy of ourselves.

Controlling oneself over food, on the other hand, does not mean either ignoring hunger or completely excluding the foods we love from the diet.

The second mistake is to resort to supplements, the worst way to manage this symptom of hunger.
In fact, the risk is that of side effects: even serious problems can arise, for example liver poisoning and intestinal or thyroid inflammation. Always if the supplement takes effect. And as I said they often have drawbacks.

So let’s see how to make hunger pass in a natural way, with an effective scheme and few rules to follow. But above all a list of functional foods to control appetite thanks to the latest research in the scientific field.
