Foods that Naturally Suppress Your Appetite

Ok, so your mind tells you that you are hungry and you have tried everything to forget about that feeling to eat: you have gone out on a walk, chewed gum, removed yourself from the kitchen, or any other trick you can think of, but you still have that urge to eat. What do you do? This may sound a bit extreme, but for once, you can give in to it.

This time, you are going to eat some food that will give your brain that satisfaction of eating, but will have a lower caloric value, and due to their strong flavoring (should I say sour) will cause such a bitter taste in your mouth your brain will basically tell you "no more."

Here are some great examples of foods that are ok for dieters to eat and will help suppress your appetite:

Sliced kosher dill pickles - the circular chips, the more sour the better ( 5 pcs. approx. 15 cal.)

Squeezed lemon in water (no sugar or sugar substitute) - (calories depending on amt. used)

Cut lime wedges (cut like orange wedges, but very sour to suck on) - (minimal calories)

Black tea - a very strong tea, serve either cold or hot w/ no sugar or sugar substitute
