Nature’s gastric bands: From cinnamon to seaweed, the foods that naturally curb your appetite and help you shed kilos !

APPLES

All fruit and vegetables are high satiety (or filling) foods that contain a lot of water, air and fibre to produce ‘full-up’ signals in the small intestine — but research has shown apples are particularly effective for weight watchers. 

Once digested, they produce the hormone GLP-1, which sends signals to the brain to persuade you into thinking you are full up.

One U.S. study showed people ate 15 per cent fewer calories after having an apple before a main meal. Apparently, the trick is to eat high-satiety foods at the beginning of a meal so you feel fuller early on and don’t compensate later by eating more.

TIP: Eat one medium-sized apple 15 minutes before meals to help regulate your appetite.

RED PEPPERS

Feeling the burn could be the best way to get bikini ready, but it doesn’t have to mean hours sweating in the gym. Recent research found that sprinkling just half a teaspoon of chopped-up red chilli peppers on meals can curb your appetite.

Scientists discovered Capsaicin — the element responsible for giving chilli peppers their heat — reduces hunger pangs, while increasing energy levels.

You won’t get the same effect just by taking a supplement, claim the researchers from Purdue University, Indiana — you have to taste the pepper.

And, if you normally avoid spicy food — even better. Those who did not regularly eat chilli experienced an even greater decrease of hunger, especially for fatty, salty and sweet foods.

TIP: Most dried and fresh chillies contain capsaicin. Sprinkle half a teaspoonful over main meals.

“Why start tomorrow what you can start today!”

what is a healthy weight loss?

Healthy weight reduction varies depending on a person’s specific genetic makeup, starting weight, fitness level, age, health, and lifestyle, though generally a loss of 1-3 pounds per week / .5 - 1.5 kilos a week is a healthy and attainable rate. Weight loss may be faster in the beginning of a weight management plan as the body adjusts to a new regimen, and the precise amount lost per week will vary.

For individuals interested in losing a lot of weight, the idea of only losing a pound or two / kilo each week may seem slow and insignificant, but in many cases, it leads to permanent weight loss rather than a roller coaster on the scale. A healthy weight management and reduction plan creates new lifestyle choices and better diet and exercise habits, giving individuals the tools not only to lose weight, but to keep it off.

Slower weight loss is also beneficial in that the body has the chance to adjust to its changing proportions and hormones, enzymes, and other regulatory chemicals will not be shocked by sudden changes that could lead to different health problems.

Ladies, sometimes the scales mightn’t show you a result that you’re very comfortable with, but remember to smile and move on. It’s one week of a downfall, you will do much greater things sooner !
