How To Reduce A Big Appetite

 

 

I want to share some interesting information with you today, as last week I came across a lot of patients who had complained that their appetites had gone up. This probably has something to do with the holiday season. People love eating out during the holidays.

 

Restaurant food is hard to resist, it makes your mouth water and appetite soar! So what should you do? WALK!!…Studies show that walking before meals helps to decrease appetite. This is because when you walk, the body redirects the blood to the exercising muscles away from your stomach. This helps reduce appetite.

 

 

In addition to this, walking 45minutes to an hour after meals (light meals) increases the body’s metabolic rate and helps to burn calories faster. This is because the process of digestion itself helps burn more calories and this when combined with walking increases the burn rate. This definitely does not mean that if you eat more; you will end up burning more calories!

 

So walk before meals to reduce appetite, and walk 45 min to an hour after (light) meals to increase your burn rate. Try it!

    this is an amazing tip. One would have thought that any form of exercise would have increased the appetite before the meal

    Useful advice. The best way to lose belly fat you can do some cardiovascular exercise such as brisk walking or jogging.

    Walking before and after meals is a good idea. But getting this much free time is a concern. I am working in Andra Pradesh and it is very hot to walk around at meals time.
