Foods containing water, air, or fibre have fewer calories than other foods and also cause the stomach to stretch and empty slowly. In addition, the simple act of seeing a large amount of food -- like a big salad -- can help you feel more satisfied.

Uncontrollable hunger pangs are the most common thing, especially when you are stressed. And, they show up almost always between meal timings, tempting you to snack in an unhealthy manner. The best part is that choosing foods low in caloric density helps you shed pounds without feeling like you’re on a restrictive diet.

Anyone who has ever been on a diet is familiar with the gnawing feeling of hunger that occurs when you cut way back on calories. And after a few days of feeling deprived, most dieters throw in the towel. But what if you could cut calories, yet still eat plenty of food, and not be plagued with constant hunger? Experts say that if you choose foods that help curb hunger, as well as become more mindful of your eating behaviors, you can actually eat more and still lose weight. Here’s is a list of foods that can help you to curb your hunger and suppress your appetite.

Green tea

This age-old traditional drink of the Chinese is easily available everywhere. The catechin present in green tea hamper the movement of glucose into fat cells. This slows down the rise of blood sugar and prevents high insulin. When your blood sugar is stable, so is your appetite. Replace your routine morning and evening tea with green tea to consume lesser portions of your meals.
