There are as many reasons for extra kilos as overweight people. One grows fat from stress, another from a sedentary lifestyle, and still others gain weight due to heredity, after childbirth, or simply because of age… This list is endless. But each of these reasons requires a different approach to its solution. If you are sure that your problem lies solely in overeating, and you are unable to control yourself in this regard, there is a way. Try appetite-reducing teas that will quickly and effectively reduce your appetite and satisfy your hunger. You will no longer punish yourself for an extra bun, and the natural origin of these drugs will have the most beneficial effect on your body.
Body impact
Such teas recently became a good alternative to weight loss drugs. However, some of them achieve the desired result by removing excess fluid from the body (diuretics), others do this by actively burning fat cells (fat burners), and still others by suppressing appetite (appetite suppressants). Doctors and nutritionists consider the latter to be the safest for health, since they have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract. It is customary to classify them as follows.
- Mucogenic (emollient)
Once in the stomach, they cover its walls with a special mucus. This mucus acts as a temporary protective layer that resists gastric juices. It is the gastric juices that provoke the feeling of hunger. If their action is blocked, the brain does not receive a signal to eat. Accordingly, even when the dinner time comes, you will not be able to eat much. This means you will consume fewer calories. As a result, you will lose weight.
- Bulking agents
These appetite-reducing teas are true masters of deception. Once in a liquid medium, they tend to swell, thereby giving the body a feeling of a full stomach. Accordingly, you will not be able to eat much. If after such a course of phytotherapy you adhere to the principles of proper fractional nutrition, the weight will not return. You will simply get used to eating in small portions.
- Acidity reducing agents
Their action is also related to blocking gastric juice. However, they differ from the first group in that they do not create a mucous barrier. These plants directly affect hydrochloric acid, reducing its concentration. If there is no acid, there is no appetite. However, such agents, if used for a long time, can seriously disrupt the gastrointestinal tract.
- Calming agents
It is no secret that appetite often awakens during stressful situations and stress. To reduce the appetite, you need to calm down. Doing this on your own is not always possible. Antidepressant teas are the way out in such situations. In medicine this is called “compulsive overeating,” and in everyday life this is known as “psychological hunger.
- Energy teas
Many of us do not perceive these plants as medicinal, although they are present in almost every home. We are used to them as common energy drinks. In fact, they not only invigorate, but primarily reduce appetite. Most teas contain the substances contributing to this effect: caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline. Do not forget about their diuretic effect.
- Sugar-reducing agents
Teas that are able to lower blood sugar primarily affect the body’s metabolic processes. They contain inulin, which most of us know as a sugar substitute, a vegetable polysaccharide. It slows down the intestinal absorption of fats and simple carbohydrates and lowers the glycemic index of products. All this naturally blocks cravings for sweets and reduces appetite.
You can choose teas from any group for weight loss, taking into account their effect on the body. All of them are designed to reduce appetite and satisfy even the most brutal hunger.
Life hack. If you often experience hunger between meals, always keep flax seeds soaked in cold water on hand (they have an emollient effect on the stomach). As soon as you want to eat, take a small handful and start chewing slowly. You will see that your appetite is reduced by half.
