Breakfast is an important meal in the day, so you should choose as healthy a meal as possible. Barley is a great choice, offering you up to five grams of fibre in just one serving which will help you to stave off the hunger pangs later in the day. Opt for hulled barley rather than pearled. Healthy carbs are another great choice, such as whole grains.
Vinegar is rich in acetic acid which can help you to control your insulin levels – try eating one to two servings of pickled vegetables before your dinner to help keep these in check.
Fibre is important in any diet for ensuring your digestive system works effectively, and you appetite stays suppressed. You can make sure you stay feeling full by consuming three grams of soluble psyllium fibre up to thirty minutes before your meal with a glass of water.
Organic teas which are caffeine free are a tasty and healthy alternative to your usual sugary drink, and generally contain plenty of heart-healthy antioxidants. Choose red bush tea or rooibos for a naturally sweet beverage.
Lastly, aromatherapy has been proven to reduce your sweet cravings – simply smelling vanilla can help to limit your yearnings for sweet treats by a considerable amount. Try buying a vanilla scented candle which can help curb your longings for something sugary.
