Appetite Suppressants
Since the rise of the pharmaceutical industry, doctors have in many cases become less aware of the fact that some of the most powerful drugs are the foods that we eat.
Remember the story about the student of Chinese medicine who was sent by his master to find a plant in the forest without medicinal value?
Well he came back looking very dejected, because he couldn't find a single plant with no medicinal value.
His smiling master told him that he had passed the test.
Now of course, because you eat heaps of vegetables and care about your body, you are half way there right? That's because you are already taking your medicine. All that youneed to do now is to learn more about what different foods do, add some postent herbs and supplements to your list, and suddenly you are in control.
Pine Nuts
Eating Pine nuts releases an appetite suppressing hormone called cholecystokinin.
Spice
Hot chilli, pepper, and cayenne fire up your metabolism whilst increasing enjoyment.
Greens
Leafy greens will fill you up, contain vital nutrients, and few calories.
Amino Acids
All proteins are made up of amino acids. Quite a number of these are appetite suppressants! Here goes! Methionine, histidine, threonine, tryptophan, lysine, phenylalanine and leucine.
As there are only 20 amino acids you can bet that eating protein is a good policy when trying to lose weight. There is a concern regarding the link between unfermented milk protein, and heart disease and possibly some cancers. What about a little full cream cheese, and some yoghurt anyone? And don't forget to get protein from vegetables and pulses.
And of course there are appetite suppressants containing just those herbs which five thousand years of herbalism have found to do the job best.
