Herbal Weight Loss Remedies
Are there any herbal remedies I can take/anything else I can do to curb my appetite?
I’m 17 and am slightly overweight. I do a fair amount of exercise, the real problem is, I just eat too much! Food at home is healthy, but if I’m on my own in town and I feel hungry I can easily eat two or three chocolate bars. I know this is not helping and have horrible pangs of guilt later in the day about my actions. PLEASE HELP!
How can I break this cycle and curb my appetite so I don’t give into temptation?
P.S. I have already tried ’self-help’ stuff such as repeating goals etc to myself…I think some sort of herbal remedy would help??!
Also, I have heard Bladderwrack can be used to aid Weight Loss…but isn’t this just for people with thyroid disorders? Would it help me lose weight when I am healthy in this respect?
Thank you for the comment about drinking water when I feel hungry. However, I am already drinking a good 1.5L between 9 and 4 each day (when I’m at college). And this seems to have no effect on my ‘hunger’. Any other suggestions welcome.
What I do to curb my appetite is eat a homemade recipe for coleslaw. It is low in calories and it keeps you feeling full for several hours, (6 to 8.)
Here is the recipe:
In a empty jar or salad dressing bottle, fill it 1/5 full of Mayonnaise, add 1/5 Mustard, and 1/5 or less apple cider vinegar or any vinegar, 2 Tablespoon Powder Onion and 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder, 1/2 Teaspoon or more of Black Pepper, and if you like 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning. Add water to 1 inch from the top, and close the lid and close the lid tightly and shake for several minutes until all of the content is completely mixed.
You can add Mayo, or Mustard etc to this mixture if you desire more (or less) of it, (this is ruff estimate). You can create your own recipe
Or you can also buy low calorie, low carb dressing at the store if you prefer.
Fill a large bowl with cabbage and fill it 2/3 *full or more if you prefer. (Cabbage is very low in calories.) (*About 1/2 to 2/3 of the store bought cabbage mix.)
Squirt some of the dressing mixture onto shredded cabbage mix, that you have poured into a bowl either from a store bought bag cabbage mix or from some that you have chopped up yourself in the kitchen.
Stir it up in the cabbage mix until it lightly covers it, then add and stir in 1 to 2 Tablespoons of Parmesan Cheese. Mix well.
This WILL keep you full for several hours, maybe 6 to 8 hours, and will satisfy you, you wont want to eat anything else if you have consumed enough of it. If done correctly it should only be 100 calories and maybe slightly more.
This actually works and it is good for you too.
