Appetite is a desire to eat and satisfy hunger. It is influenced by what is going on around us and by bio-chemical signals in the brain that tell us when we are hungry and it's time to eat. When this signal does not function properly we have to find ways to train our appetite so as we don't overeat.
More often than not we are more influenced by what is going on around us so that when we see someone else eating a delicious-looking pastry we suddenly want one. Someone in the office has brought in a box of chocolates or a tin of biscuits and we 'simply can't resist'. It is possible to control your appetite and only deal with genuine hunger.
Here are four ways to train your appetite and let it know who's in charge:
1. Stop eating while you're still a little hungry.
Experts maintain that it can take up to 20 minutes for the signal to get from the stomach to the brain to inform it that the body has had enough food For some unknow reason persons who tend to put on weight do not receive the "full up" signal from their meals as promptly as they should. As a result of this they carry on eating after hunger is satisfied. Stop eating just a little earlier than you usually do and you will be surprised to discover that appetite has really been satisfied.
2. Review your thinking.
Try to avoid eating out of boredom - having nothing to do. Find things that interest you instead of sitting nibbling on biscuits and anything else in the cupboard, 'just for something to do'. If you keep busy at other things you won't be constantly thinking about food.
3. Beware of fancy foods.
Who wouldn't resist an ice cream sundae with a whipped cream topping and a sprinkling of nuts. It is better to avoid such temptations and you'll discover that your appetite is just as happy without them.
4. Take responsibility for what you eat.
Don't blame everything and everyone around you for the amount you weigh. If you use the excuse of 'it's my glands' then see your doctor. Nine times out of ten it has nothing to do with your glands. Don't blame the hostess for forcing second helpings on you, unless she also held you don and force fed you. Learn to say 'No thank you, that was delicious but i've had enough now'. Only YOU decide what goes into your mouth.
So, don't let appetite be in contol of you, make a stand a decide for yourself that you are in control and are armed with the ways to control your appetite. By using these four ways to train your appetite you should soon see a difference in the amount you need to eat to feel fully satisfied.

Eat to Lose Weight - Why Starvation Diets Never Work
By: Dr. Emeka Okwuje | 11/11/2009Asking your body to work without food is like asking your car to keep running once its gauge says "empty". It is just not going to happen. Your car needs fuel in the form of gasoline to work properly; your body needs fuel in the form of calories to run properly as well.
