Take control of your appetite today with these easy, well-known, little strategies:

Instructions

• 1

  Brush your teeth to avoid overeating. This technique is very old but it's effective. Brushing your teeth communicates signals to your brain that it's time to stop eating.

• 2

  Drink a cup of coffee to stop hunger. Coffee is a temporary fix and you'll definitely want to avoid it near bedtime--but a cup of coffee can successfully suppress the appetite and make you eat less.

• 3

  Chew gum to curb your cravings. A ten-calorie stick of chewing gum can substantially decrease your hunger and make you eat less come mealtime.

• 4

  Drink water throughout the day to eat less. Studies have shown that most people regularly confuse hunger with dehydration.

• 5

  Get some exercise. Exercise naturally helps curb the appetite and regular exercisers tend to eat less and lose more weight. Move your body to make yourself eat less.
