Our consultant - known dietician Margarita Koroleva

Stimulants
1. Spices and condiments, especially artificial appetite stimulant - flavor enhancer MSG.
He added not only in the "ready" shoplifting food and seasonings, but often abused in restaurants, especially fast food. It stimulates the appetite, but, according to many scientists, MSG is not so safe. Therefore, it is not recommended to abuse.
2. Pickled vegetables and spices such as salt, mustard, horseradish.
All sharp and savory very good stimulates the appetite, causing increased production of gastric juice.
But the problem is that salt water retention in the body. We drink a lot, but it appears not all. Therefore, these stimulants need to be very careful: eat 'appetite for "no more than one cucumber, tomatoes per day.
3. Sour apples, sauerkraut, lemon juice diluted with water. In general, everything sour.
As acute and salty, sour fruits and vegetables stimulate gastrointestinal juice. But not everyone can indulge in them. After acid can cause gastritis, and generally sour apples are not recommended for people with high acidity of the stomach.
4. Sweets.
At first, they reduce the appetite by a large release of sugar into the blood, but after an hour and a half is, you want more.
5. Alcohol and coffee.
Even a glass of beer or wine will make you eat more than you want, as also stimulates the production of gastric juice. Cup of coffee and increases appetite.

If your appetite disappears just like that, this is a serious signal. The reluctance to eat may cause both medications (such as antibiotics), and a variety of diseases:
gastritis or other gastrointestinal disease;
liver disease;
depression, neuroses and other psychological diseases;
bacterial and viral infections (colds before inflammation);

"Suppressors"
1. "Light" proteins - poultry, fish.
Proteins contribute to sustainable thermogenesis in the body, he explained to our expert. In fact "give" us to a constant body temperature, normal blood circulation and smooth digestion. That is, provide quality satiety and energy distribution.
2. muesli, oatmeal and other cereals, meal - fiber sources. As well as nuts and seeds.
Through tissue digestion process slows down. That is, these products are reluctant to give slow and body energy as opposed to the same sweets. Accordingly, the feeling of satiety lasts longer. Ideal for breakfast. Nuts also perfect as a snack.
3. Rough vegetables, that is, root crops such as carrots, beets, celery. And legumes (protein sources) - beans, peas, lentils.
It contains a set of so-called long and short carbohydrates. That is able to quickly satisfy your hunger and keep you feeling full for a long time. A bean rather quickly fill the stomach, leaving no place other food.
4. Bananas, containing not only the pectin, cellulose and starch, as well as simple and complex carbohydrates that are "slowly" consumed by the body, again without giving quick hungry.
But be careful, all fruits contain a lot of fructose - a harmless, but still analogue sugar. Therefore, nutritionists do not recommend eating them after 16.00. Especially those who are dieting. It is better to have a bite of fruit during lunch or afternoon tea.
5. Water, yoghurt, skimmed milk. In general, all liquids, except for alcohol and coffee.
Generally most useful drink before the meal, not after - so we "deceive" the stomach, at least partially filling it.
