The hunger attacks ruin the diet

And here we go again with the unwanted feeling, the "hole in the stomach"! That slight feeling of hunger that occurs on time, every day, and that, inevitably, is likely to ruin all the efforts you put onto your diet. 

Well yes, it is the number one enemy of our ideal weight. It sneaks itself between the folds of the day and grows stronger to force us to open the fridge and eat ... the first thing at our sight. 

Therefore, the solution is to prevent hunger attacks with a healthy balanced diet, which can ensure to the body proper intake of nutritional principles. 

Prevent hunger attacks

Avoid drastic diets: generally, diets that promise substantial weight loss in a few days mean extremely small and not various meals. These conditions do not meet the needs of the body, and you will be forced to fill that gap at one point of the day. 

In addition, try to distinguish hunger with the "desire" of food. A classic example of "desire" is the dessert after a meal: the body, already satisfied by the meal, does not need additional food. In these cases, the need to eat dessert is determined by a psychological need, not physical.

Which foods counteract hunger?

To hold off the hunger attacks throughout the day, it is useful to introduce high satiety foods to your diet. The online magazine "Health.com" has filled a list of foods suitable to counteract such hunger attacks. For example, a sprinkle of red pepper on your dish reduces the feeling of hunger, while eggs in the morning allow you to get to lunchtime (almost) full. 

• Extra virgin olive oil: It contains the aromatic molecules that slow down the absorption of sugar and thus delaying the lowering of blood glucose
• Avocado: eating half an avocado during the meal helps block the hunger feeling for at least three hours
• Soup: soups help calm down the appetite because their volume increases after ingested
• Legumes: rich in proteins, fibers, antioxidants, B vitamin, and iron. They contribute by keeping hunger under control
• Fermented foods such as yogurt: contain fatty acids and stimulate the production of a bacterium that encourage digestion and controls appetite
• Red hot pepper: when added to the dish lowers the sense of hunger
