If you eat one medium-sized apple 15 minutes before the main meal, then the amount of food consumed will decrease.

A similar effect has red pepper. It is enough to eat half a teaspoon of ground pepper during lunch to cope with the appetite. The whole secret lies in capsaicin, which gives acuity to pepper. It reduces the feeling of hunger and simultaneously energizes.

Algae - a universal product that allows you to keep a good figure. Dutch experts have found out: if you add algae to drinks, you can reduce your appetite by up to 30%, which will allow you to remain full for a long time. As it turned out, reaching the stomach, the alga becomes a gel that slows the emptying of the stomach and simulates the effect of solid products.

Experts say about the positive effect of green tea for a long time. It contains catechins - a substance that causes the body to burn more calories. Drinking 3-6 cups of green tea a day, you can speed up energy consumption up to 40%.

Proteins contained in eggs of unusually high quality. They help to control the appetite. So, an omelet from two eggs for breakfast helps during the day to absorb fewer calories. But in lemons there is pectin - natural soluble fiber and gelling agent. It absorbs fat, which deposited the body, and slows the digestive process. As a result, a person feels saturation, even eating a little.

American experts are sure: citric acid and pectin slow down the absorption of sugar after ingestion of food. Vitamin C helps to produce carnitine, which helps the body burn fat. Ordinary water also works as a natural appetite suppressant. To achieve the effect, it is worth to drink two glasses of water before eating.

Israeli scientists advise to pay attention to garlic, which works thanks to allicin. It gives garlic a characteristic smell, stimulating the "center of satiety" in the brain, reducing the feeling of hunger. It also leads to the release of adrenaline, which activates the burning of calories.

But, according to Scandinavian experts, cinnamon, added to food, leads to a lower production of insulin. And it is known that insulin turns an excess of sugar into fat. Cinnamon is especially effective if it is consumed right after eating.
