These are a few simple tips to help fight your hunger cravings. I eat a teaspoon of peanut butter and that usually helps with my cravings. Apples are another great fruit to eat that will help you feel full and reduce cravings. Eat an apple before your meal and you will not have the desire to eat as much. Some others that are successful are sniffing the scent of vanilla from creams or a candle will help with sugar cravings. Red tea is another craving reducer. According to Dr.Oz you may shed a pound a week if you drink 1 cup of Rooibos Tea (red tea) each day either iced or hot. I always drink green tea hot and cold and I think I will also give red tea a try. Green tea has many health benefits and will also help you feel full longer. Pine nuts are another food that will help suppress hunger. They contain the highest protein content of any nut.
When you are snacking strive to include healthy snacks between your mini meals. Including low fat cheese with finger vegetables is a great way to add something new into your snacking. I also love a piece of Ezekiel bread toasted with peanut butter and a little honey on top. I also make a healthy granola with only 4 ingredients. Give it a try. It is a great treat for in between meals.
