1) Add protein to your breakfast
While eating breakfast has been shown to reduce hunger throughout the day, research suggests a protein-rich breakfast is more effective as it reduces brain signals that control food motivation and reward-driven eating habits. Researchers found that by incorporating protein-rich foods at breakfast time, we’re more likely to be satisfied for longer and less prone to snacking during the day.
2) Chew gum
Regularly chewing sugar-free gum has been shown to prevent snacking and in particular, prevent cravings for sugary snacks, which contributes to weight gain. It has also been found to help reduce overall calorie intake and increase energy expenditure, allowing us to balance our energy levels.
3) Toss out the junk food
You probably haven’t driven to your local grocery store to satisfy your appetite as many times as you’ve raided your pantry for all the forbidden top-shelf goodies. Rather than having food temptations lurking in your kitchen, get rid of them! Easier said than done? If your stomach won’t take “no” to cravings as an answer, try adding a healthy twist – instead of chocolate ice cream, for example, eat yoghurt ice cream.
