Controlling Your Eating: When Willpower Is Not Enough.
|
This time of year is particularly problematic for many people when it comes to appetite control. The average person gains weight over the holidays, some of which becomes permanent.
There is a multitude of factors that can contribute to excessive appetite and to food cravings. There are predisposing factors that interact with lifestyle and environment to change the individual's biochemistry. The result is a ravenous appetite.
 | | Willpower is not enough |
We can't change our genetics or what our mother's ate or were exposed to during our fetal development. What we can do is change the common influences like food choices, sleep, stress, exercise, and toxin exposure. The details are not all so obvious and are best identified by a health care professional skilled in functional medicine so that an optimal personalized program can be created.
First, let's discuss some strategies that are helpful for most people. How you start the day can determine your success or failure when it comes to appetite control. Breakfast needs to contain adequate protein. Protein type can also make a difference. If you want to use a protein drink as part of your breakfast, you should know that whey protein had a more favorable effect on appetite-control when tested against casein.
Breakfast also needs to be low in glycemic index (blood sugar-surging potential). Sugars and starches need to be limited. Eating a high glycemic index breakfast has been shown to result in increased food consumption for 36 hours. It is wise to read labels. For example, a typical single-serving yogurt has more than six teaspoons of sugar. [Click here to read "Change Your Breakfast, Change Your Life"]

In designing a diet to control appetite and lose weight it would make sense to not do what sumo wrestlers do. Sumo wrestlers endeavor to gain weight by eating one large meal...late in the day. For appetite control eat 5 or 6 times a day. Each meal/snack should be reasonable in calories.
Drinking a lot of water can also be helpful in appetite control. I think it is best to drink mostly between meals.
Both aerobic and resistance exercise have been found to reduce appetite, although aerobic exercise may be more effective for this purpose. For many reasons, I recommend a combination of both types of exercise.
If you are going to a party where you will be tempted to overeat, it may be wise to squeeze in some exercise. Eating something healthy to fill you up before you go to the party is also a consideration. The meal should contain some protein, "healthful" fat (such as coconut oil, avocado, omega 3-rich fish), and fiber. [Click here to read "Eat The Right Type of Fat to Lose Weight"]
Dietary fiber aids in suppressing appetite. It is wise to fill up on vegetables whenever possible. The phytochemicals in plant foods also are partly responsible for benefits of a whole foods diet in appetite control.
