AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE ON APPETITE-SUPPRESSANT

Suppresses hunger without causing weight gain.

Many natural appetite suppressant foods, like prune juice, are high in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water forming a gel like substance. Whereas insoluble fiber (roughage) stimulates bowel movements, the gel like soluble fibers sit longer in the stomach, keeping you satisfied longer. Bitter, cold, or astringent foods have a tendency to curb the appetite. Examples include raw apples, raw carrots, and dandelion leaves. Flax seeds satiate appetites by expanding to ten times their volume in the stomach.
