The purpose of natural appetite suppressants is to help you control your biggest challenge of weight loss: appetite control. Controlling your appetite prevents you from overeating which means you can lose weight faster and easier.

Many people are opting for natural appetite suppressants. There are three major options available to you: supplements, whole foods or a combination of both. Natural appetite suppressants are very quick and convenient. Yet, they can be a bit expensive. Whole foods are cheaper and you will reap the added nutritional benefits from them that you won’t obtain from a supplement. Many people find that opting to use both supplements and whole foods in combination is a powerful natural appetite suppressant. Here is a run down of the top natural appetite suppressants that you can choose from.

Supplements as Natural Appetite Suppressants

Hoodia Gordonii

The cactus looking plant is found in South Africa’s Kalahari Desert. It has been used for centuries by the natives of this region to control their appetites. It was especially used by the Bushmen to help them control their appetites when they would take long hunting trips. Eating a small piece of the hoodia gordonii plant controlled their appetites for hours.

While you will not be able to find hoodia gordonii in plant form and be able to eat it like the Bushmen, you can purchase hoodia diet pills. Just beware that many hoodia supplements only contain a small amount of hoodia gordonii. Don’t be fooled by imitations. These natural appetite suppressants will be cheaper than the ones that are packed full of authentic hoodia gordonii. The authentic supplements that truly work will cost about $50 for a one month supply.

Whey Protein

Whey protein is a great natural appetite suppressant and it has been used by people for years. The powder is great for building muscle, which is important because muscle burns fat. Whey protein powder is convenient and cheap. It comes in different flavors that can be used in shakes and smoothies. It can also be added to a wide range of food recipes.

Whole Foods as Natural Appetite Suppressants

Water

This is probably the least expensive option of all the natural appetite suppressants you can choose from. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will do wonders to curb your appetite. Often times hunger is mistaken as thirst so simply drinking water at the first sign of hunger can quickly keep your appetite in check. Another technique is to drink an eight ounce glass of water before each meal. You’ll be surprised at how much less you eat.

Green Leafy Vegetables

Spinach, lettuce, cabbage, and bok choy are some of the top natural appetite suppressants. These leafy vegetables are very, very low in calories and they are a wonderful source of fiber. Another added bonus to eating these veggies is they are “negative calorie” vegetables. This means that it takes more calories to burn these vegetables after you eat them than they actually contain! They are virtually free foods!

Pickles

Did you know that if you ate an entire jar of pickles you would probably consume less than 100 calories? I’m not talking about the commercial brands of pickles that are stocked full of sugar, artificial colors and calories, but natural organic pickles. These natural pickles only have a few calories each and are a wonderful and powerful food to snack on during the day. You can munch on this food virtually guilt free!

Apples

Apples are a great source of fiber and they are only about 100 calories each. They are wonderful natural appetite suppressants. Apples are a great substitute for those snack foods that have more calories in them such as chips, candy bars, pies and cakes.

These are some of the most effective, “guilt-free” natural appetite suppressants you’ll find. You’ll be able to control your hunger and prevent overeating by including these in your weight loss program. More importantly, your weight loss efforts won’t be as challenging!
