Appetite is a Unicorn

Myth: 'water will curb your appetite'
This is tricky because appetite and hunger is different. Water can expand your stomach. It also can speed nutrient delivery to the bloodstream which curbs hunger.

But a person who ate a big meal can still have an appetite. It can be a mental thing also a learned behavior. 'We always eat this at this time.' Smell can also trigger it. So can nutritional deficiencies. In fact appetite is so complicated it would be hard for anyone to say they have full knowledge of it.

*Different foods have Satiety Levels or satisfaction levels. Some sites have a satiety index you can download.

Here's the big question though. Do you really have an appetite? Don't answer so quickly. When thirst sets in your already close to dehydration. Sometimes the thing you need the most when you have an 'appetite' is water.

So here's the proven research:
-drink water first
-go for the good stuff next. Fresh, lean, clean, or green food in a small amount.
-wait 15-30 mins.
-give in to the craving, just a little.

Also don't sweat it, our appetite keeps us alive. It's how we know were alive.
