7 Ways to Curb Your Appetite Naturally

By Lizzie Fuhr for POPSUGAR Fitness

If you feel like your appetite has a mind of its own, you're not alone. Taking a look at your habits and revamping your daily rituals can renew your relationship with food and tame your hunger pangs. Just follow these tips to curb your appetite in an all-natural way:

Drink more water: Plenty of people confuse hunger with dehydration. Keeping your water bottle full all day long will help you remember to guzzle the good stuff and steer clear of unnecessary snacking.

Get moving: Forget the notion that exercise stokes your appetite—it actually decreases your appetite. Just another reason to squeeze in a workout!

Don't skip breakfast: You know you should eat a solid breakfast, but if you're not aware, skipping it can make you consume more calories later in the day. Eating first thing in the morning will get your metabolism going and ward off hunger pangs that lead to bad food decisions later on.

Power up with protein: Protein helps you sustain energy and feel bright-eyed and bushy-tailed all day long. If you need some inspiration, look to these low-calorie, high-protein breakfast ideas for delicious inspiration. And remember to keep the lean protein coming for lunch and dinner, too.
