APPETITE CONTROL 101

Avoid Snack-Attacks with Natural Products and Healthful Habits
By Jim Riddle

When you hear the word “appetite,” you usually associate it with overeating, self-control, weight-loss or obesity. In reality, appetite is a necessary bodily function that lets you know when and sometimes even what to eat to fuel your body. Appetite, in and of itself, is not a bad thing at all; but, how you respond to appetite can make a huge difference in your ability to maintain weight and overall health.

Food wasn’t always as readily available as it is today. When humans had to search or hunt for food, their ability to gorge on large amounts of food at one time and to store those extra calories as fat was beneficial in that they didn’t always know when they would get their next meal. In modern society, our ability to efficiently store excess energy as fat has turned into a liability and, quite literally, is a growing problem.

We now live in a world where there is practically no limit to the resources that the average person has to obtain food. Also, we no longer eat solely as a means to provide energy for our bodies; rather, we eat on social occasions, at certain times of the day, while watching movies or television, or even as part of our routine. Our appetites still tell us when we are hungry, but sometimes we eat without those built-in signals.

Don’t Let Appetite Control You

• Take your time. Eating more slowly gives your brain more time to get the message thatyour stomach is filling up. Chewing your food thoroughly also helps your entire digestive system work more efficiently in processing foods into useable energy and nutrients.
• Stay on schedule. Eating regularly scheduled meals can help keep hunger-hormone levels consistent. Skipping meals often leads to more intense feelings of hunger, which can cause people to eat more quickly and to overeat.
• Fool your body with fiber. Foods high in fiber stimulate appetite-suppressing hormones and take up more space in your stomach, which can help you feel fuller, longer. Adding fiber supplements to your diet such as Nature’s Three or Fat Grabbers® is an easy way to get the fiber that some diets lack.
• The after-dinner mint. Our bodies crave variety, which can help explain why you sometimes crave dessert after dinner. Eating a mint, chewing gum or even brushing your teeth after a meal can give you a change of flavor, which can sometimes help keep you from eating more.

Luckily, the more we learn about appetite, the better we can understand not only what makes us hungry, but also what makes us eat even when we aren’t. With this knowledge, you can incorporate new habits into your daily routine that can help you maintain a functional and beneficial appetite without going overboard. In addition, NSP provides products that can help maintain healthy appetite levels.

Nature’s Hoodia Formula™
Used for centuries by the San tribesmen of the Kalahari Desert, Hoodia gordonii may help to modulate hunger. Researchers at the South African national laboratory discovered that when animals were fed this indigenous food, the animals began to lose weight. Scientists theorize that Hoodia affects the brains of laboratory animals by making the stomach feel full and reducing the desire to eat.

Nature’s Hoodia Formula combines Hoodia gordonii with other natural ingredients—Caralluma fimbriata, dry apple cider vinegar, Garcinia cambogia, l-carnitine, gymnema leaves, chromium, marshmallow root and psyllium hulls—that may be a helpful addition to your weight-management efforts.

Garcinia Combination
Known to help suppress appetite, Garcinia cambogia fruit is the main ingredient in Garcinia Combination. NSP combines this remarkable fruit with the weight-management benefits of chickweed and l-carnitine. Chromium—an essential trace mineral that plays a role in the body’s natural regulation of blood sugar—is added to round out this popular product.

MetaboMax EF is a nourishing, caffeine- and ephedra-free formula that may help reduce appetite while supporting energy levels.
