Eat Fiber Unrefined foods, especially those that are high in fiber, stimulate appetite-suppressing hormones and make you feel full.
Brush Your Teeth Take a break from that ice cream to brush. The flavor
change helps you resist eating more.
Be Consistent Eating breakfast and regularly scheduled meals keeps
hormone levels steady and quashes hunger pangs.
Slow down It takes a while for the brain to realize that the stomach
is stretching. Eating slowly gives the brain time to catch on.
The Atkins Diet
Philosophy:Cut carbohydrates-they make you
hungrier. Load up on fats and proteins.
How It Works: When the body takes in
very few carbs, it gets its energy by burning fat instead of carbs. This occurs
when the liver turns stored fat into chemicals called ketones, which are used
for fuel (and can give you less-than-fresh breath).
Downside:Long-term
adherance. It's hard to stick to a diet that restricts such a big chunk of the
food pyramid.
The Weight Watchers Diet
Philosophy: Portion control. Nothing is
off-limits, but everything must be in moderation.
How It Works: Smaller
portions mean fewer calories are taken in, so less fat gets stored. A point
system assigns a value to portions of all sorts of foods to help tabulate-and
limit-daily consumption. To lose half a kilogram a week, you generally need to
consume 500 fewer calories a day.
Downside:Hunger. Small portions can leave
stomachs growling.
The Ornish Diet
Philosophy:Kiss meat goodbye. Cutdown on fats and
simple carbs like sugar and alcohol.
How It Works:At nine calories per gram,
fat is more than twice as dense as protein and carbs. Thus dieters can consume
the same amount of food but still lose weight if they eat less fat. Focusing on
complex carbs like whole grains helps stabilize blood sugar, and lots of fiber
increases satiety.
Downside:Strictness. Giving up meat is hard, but no fatty
nuts or avocados? Sheesh.
