And it doesn\u2019t only apply to dieters: even when following a usual diet, we still fall into a snack-craving loop!<\/p>\n<p>Snacking spikes up your blood sugar, allows some excess weight to stick to your body if not done in moderation, and generally leaves you feeling heavy. What can be done to stop the hunger attacks between the three main meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner?<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-shortcode__wrap\">\n    <section class=\"cta-shortcode\">\n\n        <div class=\"cta-shortcode__left\">\n                            <h3>Take a 1-minute quiz<\/h3>\n                                        <h5>And discover ways ColonBroom can help improve your gut health<\/h5>\n            \n            <a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/colonbroom.com\/quiz\">take a quiz<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"cta-shortcode__right\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/colonbroom.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CTA-banner-WEB.png\" alt=\"\">\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_eat_more_protein_and_healthy_fats\"><\/span>#1: Eat More Protein and Healthy Fats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s a no-brainer that all foods curb your appetite differently. Some foods are more filling, and some fuel you up just enough to check out the fridge right after.<\/p>\n<p>The hunger-inducing foods mainly include carbohydrates. A quick solution is replacing them with protein and healthy fats as they\u2019re more effective at keeping the appetite suppressed for a more extended period.<\/p>\n<p>Opt for these protein-rich foods:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Beans<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Eggs<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Greek yogurt<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Lean meat<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Soy products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And products containing healthy fats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avocado<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Nuts<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Olive oil<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Seeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_increase_your_fiber_intake\"><\/span>#2: Increase Your Fiber Intake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Fiber is a bulk-forming nutrient, which means feelings of fullness for more significant periods! Research shows that fiber is an effective appetite suppressant. What\u2019s more, it also works wonders with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gowellnessco.com\/best-fiber-supplements-weight-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">weight management<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Say \u201cgoodbye\u201d to bloating and constipation and \u201chello\u201d to boost energy levels and regular bathroom visits. No more hunger attacks. Easily dropped weight. There\u2019s no reason for anyone to sleep on it, basically.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some fiber-rich products:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Fresh fruits (berries, apples) and dried fruits<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Vegetables (avocados, potatoes, broccoli)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Nuts (chia seeds, almonds, pistachios)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Whole grains (oat bran, quinoa)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Or take a shortcut that\u2019s just as effective: ColonBroom, a fiber supplement that tastes like strawberry lollipops. Win-win!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_drink_more_water\"><\/span>#3: Drink More Water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even better, drink a tall glass of water before every meal! It takes a while till our body gets a final signal that we\u2019re no longer hungry. However, when you start your meal with a glass of water, it fast-forwards the feeling of fullness.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, hunger between meals is often a mind trick our brain pulls on us: it\u2019s often a sign of dehydration rather than hunger. Our body is trying to find a source of water in different products, resulting in a hunger attack. Getting rehydrated can cure your cravings in no time!<\/p>\n<p>Also, getting used to drinking water before every meal is totally worth it: research shows that it helps lose weight.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_eat_mindfully\"><\/span>#4: Eat Mindfully<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The appetite seems unlimited when a scrumptious bagel has just landed on your table. The need for dessert and snacks kicks in even when we\u2019re not finished eating our first meal.<\/p>\n<p>Try to be more mindful when eating. Ditch the phone scrolling and the TV, and try to really feel your food&#8217;s taste palette and texture. Try your best to notice the moment when you\u2019re no longer hungry, yet you continue to eat.<\/p>\n<p>If you catch yourself still eating after you\u2019re no longer hungry, set your meal aside and wait for a little while to see if you still want to finish your plate and order a second dish.<\/p>\n<p>Mindful eating reduces binge eating and comfort eating, controlled by your brain and its psychological patterns rather than actual hunger.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-shortcode__wrap\">\n    <section class=\"cta-shortcode\">\n\n        <div class=\"cta-shortcode__left\">\n                            <h3>Take a 1-minute quiz<\/h3>\n                                        <h5>And discover ways ColonBroom can help improve your gut health<\/h5>\n            \n            <a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/colonbroom.com\/quiz\">take a quiz<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"cta-shortcode__right\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/colonbroom.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CTA-banner-WEB.png\" alt=\"\">\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the_bottom_line\"><\/span>The Bottom Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Any kind of eating, if suppressed, is likely to lead to hunger.
