Tricks to curb your appetite

Soooo your eating healthy, working out, but still feeling like your stomach isn't listening aka. you're hungry!

WELL, first ask yourself these 3 questions:

1. Am I eating every 3-4 hrs to optimize my weight loss and rev up my metabolism and stay on the healthy track?
2. Am I drinking enough water (sometimes hungry is really thirsty!)
3. Am I eating enough protein and fiber (if you're filling up on empty calorie snacks, you're going to be hungrier faster, no good..)

AFTER you have all this in check, then here are a few TRICKS to curb your appetite until mealtime, AND help your body as it adjusts to no longer overeating, BUT eating SENSIBLY!

1. Drink low sodium chicken broth or tea (indeed this simple action of having something satisfyingly warm will keep you busy and hold off your cravings)
2. Chew sugarless gum (again keeping your mouth busy, and those extra munching calories away)
3.Water, water, water (stay hydrated)
4. Keep chopped apples (great fiber) and veggies on hand in your bag, purse, desk, etc AT ALL TIMES. The crunching will keep you from stress eating, and keep you full with fiber until your next meal.
