How To Eliminate Hunger Without Weight Gain?
Some people have a constant feeling of hunger in their grief, and despite eating, they never feel full or satisfied.
The feeling of hunger depends on a person’s age, metabolism, and activity, but there are foods that in most cases make us feel full without having to eat large amounts.
It is important to emphasize that a balanced diet tends to make you feel fuller than a diet high in fat and sugar. In this article, we’ll talk about what are the foods that keep you full and that help keep your hunger going without weight gain.
Foods to help eliminate hunger without weight gain
Fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables, especially raw, help to eliminate hunger and nourish the body with vitamins and minerals. They are also low in calories. The combination of fiber and water easily fills the stomach and helps in those moments when you feel the urge to mumble something, even if you’re not hungry.
A good idea is to make fruit smoothies by pureing a few pieces of fruit and water. You can sweeten the smoothie with stevia if the fruit is not fresh and fresh. Vegetable juice does not fill the stomach in the same way and keeps hunger at bay, as most vegetables do not have the same amounts of fiber as fruits.
Gazpacho, a smoothie made from vegetables – like tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers – is another healthy option. It should definitely be drunk without sieving in order for the drink to retain its natural fiber.
Whole raw materials
The majority of the flour and grains consumed today have been processed, which means that the fibers have been squeezed out of them. Eating whole grains makes you feel fuller and does good for the whole body. Choose a whole grain option from dishes such as rice, bread and pastry.
Agar-agar
Agar-agar is a carbohydrate isolated from algae that is used as a gelling agent. Agar-agar makes it saturated because it acts like a thickener in the stomach. When the substance reaches the stomach and mixes with digestive fluids, it increases in size and creates a feeling of satiety.
Agar-agar also helps to remove toxins as well as improve intestinal function and prevent constipation.
Agar-agar can be used in soups as well as in pasta dishes and desserts, for example to jelly fruit juice or vegetable drink.
Legumes
Legumes, which were consumed very much in the past, are now somewhat lagging behind in people’s diets. They are still excellent foods. Legumes are high in protein, which is why they can serve as the main raw material for any meal, with the addition of some vegetables and grains. Unlike animal proteins, legumes are high in fiber.
If you eat legumes regularly, you will find that using them easily becomes commonplace.
If you have poor digestion, cook the legumes with a small amount of cumin, curry or fennel. Do not mix the mixture with other nutrients. For example, you can eat this mixture pureed.
An ancient cure
You can also make a high-saturating drink by chopping and mixing flaxseed, wheat germ and psyllium (a medicinal plant used as a natural laxative) in the same proportions . Mix one or two spoonfuls of the mixture with a glass of water and enjoy the drink 10-15 minutes before each meal. You will quickly find that you no longer feel the need to eat equal amounts of food.
Water
Thirst is often mixed with hunger, and sometimes you may experience “emotional hunger” or the need to put something in your mouth. In those moments you should drink a couple of glasses of water. In fact, whenever you feel hungry, drink a glass of water. If you still feel hungry after five minutes, then eat something.
It is important to drink water at room temperature and avoid very cold water. Cold water cools the digestive system, which slows down digestion.
Chew food well
This advice should not be forgotten! The feeling of hunger persists for another 20 minutes from the start of eating. If you chew your food well, you don’t have to eat such large amounts, and in addition, you will digest the food you eat more easily.
