Pickles against ravenous appetite?

  1. eat a good breakfast!

In general: If you eat a good breakfast, you don't have to fear any munchies in the first half of the day. Especially good: wholemeal cereals and wholemeal bread for breakfast. The dietary fibres ensure a long-lasting balanced blood sugar level and prevent ravenous appetite. It has been proven that women who eat breakfast are slimmer.

  1. drink coffee

Black coffee and green tea curb hunger. They can be used to cushion an overeating attack. Less is also eaten at the following meal.

  1. pickles

Scandinavian researchers have found that pickles and other vegetables pickled in vinegar increase the degree of satiety of a meal. So just take one or two gherkins with you to the canteen!

  1. if snack, then no chocolate

Of course you can also eat something in between. But don't let yourself be tempted by any chocolate bars, even if they come in a dietary fibre garment, such as chocolate muesli bars. Better are snacks like fruit, vegetables or natural yoghurt. Whoever snacks sweets or rolls pushes his blood sugar level very high, thus stimulating insulin production and finally gets a steep drop in blood sugar, which means: ravenous hunger!

  1. if chocolate, then chocolate tea

If you absolutely need chocolate, try Yogi tea with chocolate flavour. It gives you a chocolate experience (almost) without calories.

Protein makes you full

  1. low-fat curd stops the craving

Food with a lot of protein, like low-fat curd cheese, stops the feeling of hunger for hours. Eat a loaf of delicious homemade herb curd cheese in the morning!

  1. acupressure, and hunger fades

There is an acupressure point between the tip of the nose and the upper lip, which slows down the feeling of hunger. Press with your finger for about 20 seconds and with medium intensity. You can repeat this two or three times. Then the ravenous hunger should have faded.

  1. walk and the hunger stays outside

Sometimes hunger is just a symptom of boredom and listlessness. It helps to get up and go for a walk even in the cold season. Sports or yoga are also good.

  1. hot soup is enough

Sometimes it's enough just to have a little hot soup in your stomach. Why not cook a large pot of vegetable soup and freeze it in portions.

  1. measure

It is not good at all to remove food completely from the menu. It's much better to ration your favorite sin accurately. No one has ever lost their waist from a little piece of chocolate.
