In summer, the ice cube before the meal
A hearty meal in perspective? Before starting the feast, slowly chew on an ice cube.
Why does it work? Hyper-cold lulls the taste buds to sleep, thus reducing gluttony, while providing 0 calories. For double the effectiveness, at home, prepare ice cubes of appetite-suppressing foods: cinnamon, cloves, 100% dark chocolate powder, etc.
Before the aperitif, two glasses of water
Before going to a friend’s house, drink two glasses of water and swallow a plain avocado.
Why does it work? Well hydrated, you don’t try to quench your thirst with alcohol. While rich in calories, the avocado “holds you” but, like a balm, also deposits an anti-inflammatory fatty film which protects the stomach and accelerates the metabolism and therefore digestion.
We take advantage of the minestrone effect
Vegetables in pieces, with small pasta. By studying hundred-year-old Sardinians, scientists have shown that by adopting this diet almost daily, the population lives older and in better health.
Why does it work? Aside from the amount of vitamins and minerals provided by seasonal vegetables, the secret is the pieces that offer a lower glycemic index than mixed soup. It holds while allowing you to stay slim.
We eat Brazil nuts
700 calories per 100g! A record! And yet, over the long term, consuming 50 to 120 g of Brazil nuts lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, lowers bad cholesterol levels, and lowers blood pressure. In the long term, this makes it possible to refine the waist circumference of several centimeters and to lose weight more easily. The right dose: 9 nuts per day in three doses.
Why does it work? Because of their richness in omega 3 and fiber. These promote satiety and omega 3 them protect the arteries! In addition we obtain a “psy” effect: Brazil nuts, large in size, fill the mouth. A signal alerts the brain, which relays a message transmitted by endorphins. Result: blissful satiety!
Coffee with milk cuts hunger
Poison, almost impossible to digest … good morning latte has a bad reputation. However, we can bet on our faults and return them in quality. Café au lait, which takes several hours to digest, actually acts as a powerful appetite suppressant. We eat less, we do not nibble, we keep the line!
Why does it work? The tannins in coffee cause the casein in milk to curdle, increasing its molecules in the stomach, making it more difficult for them to pass through the intestines. The time for these large molecules to be digested by gastric enzymes takes hours during which the stomach remains full, prolonging the feeling of fullness.
Sauerkraut makes a flat stomach
Preferably fresh and without cold cuts, it is a slimming food!
Why does it work? First, because cabbage is as low in calories as an apple (19 calories per 100 g). In addition, it provides fiber, vitamin C and A, calcium, magnesium. Better still: it’s packed with good probiotics, lactobacillus, which reduce intestinal gas and fight constipation. Flat stomach guaranteed!
