9 Appetite Suppressants That Actually Work

Throughout my 15+ year career, I've seen countless diet and weight loss tactics, from powders, pills and potions, to unorthodox treatments, like ice baths and ear clips.
When clients inquire, "Should I try this?" my first step is to check out the science, and often times, there isn't any. While that doesn't mean there's no validity, it does mean there are many unanswered questions, like how much, how often, and what are the side effects?
In my research, I sometimes find that even products and approaches with studies behind them carry more risks than benefits. For these reasons, many experts maintain a skeptical eye. One University of Alabama professor made quite a few headlines earlier this year by calling most weight loss aids a waste of money, including some celebrities swear by.
But, I get it, because the primary mantra in health care is always: first, do no harm. That's why my go-to bag of tricks is full of safe techniques grounded in research.
Here are nine that can either help curb your appetite or delay the return of hunger--and they won't make you miserable.
Eat more fat |
Researchers at UC Irvine discovered that oleic acid, a "good" fat, helps trigger the small intestine to produce oleoylethanolamide, a compound that finds its way to nerve endings and transmits a hunger-curbing message to the brain.
Great sources include nuts, avocado and extra virgin olive oil. Bonus: fat also delays stomach emptying, which keeps you fuller longer.
Cut your food into smaller pieces |
Test this trick on yourself, or reach for "loose" foods, that naturally provide more, smaller pieces per serving, like grape tomatoes, berries, grapes, popcorn, nuts and seeds.
Get an endorphin rush |
Even a walk will do. Another study from the University of Exeter found that taking a 15-minute walk, rather than a 15 minute break, cut snacking at work by 50 percent.
Use your senses |
Reach for rye |
The easiest way to enjoy rye is in the form of crackers, but it's also being incorporated into more foods, like rye pasta, and rye flakes, an oatmeal alternative.
Rely on your memory |
Start the day right |
For the best balance, aim for a combo of fruit, whole grain, lean protein, and healthy fat, like this mango parfait.
Slow down |
To get on board, put your utensil or food down between every bite, take a deep breath, and stop eating when you feel you've had just enough, even if you haven't cleaned your plate.
Set the mood |
There are so many more tried and true tactics, but I'd love to hear from you. What helps you feel less hungry and more full (that doesn't come in a bottle)? Please tweet your thoughts to @CynthiaSass and @goodhealth
