There are a number of reasons why people fail to
achieve their goals of weight loss through dieting whether that be due to the
foods being unappetizing or the caloric intake being too restrictive.
However, one very common reason why a diet plan is abandoned is that the dieter
simply cannot resist the cravings for food that they enjoy the most.
After you have eaten a meal, your body converts your
food into glucose so that it can be used to nourish you. Higher levels of
glucose in the blood are what help you to feel full after you have eaten.
However, as your body uses the glucose, the levels drop and you will begin to
feel like you want a snack. This is
normally a weak point for someone reaching for the biscuit tin!
Another reason why you will find yourself having
cravings when dieting is because you become accustomed to eating frequently,
and these craving are based more on behavior than on metabolism. It will
take time for your body to adjust to the new, lower caloric amounts, and until
it does, you will feel hungry nearly all the time.
Using appetite suppressants
One way to get around these food cravings is to
consider using appetite suppressants. These are available as both
prescription and over-the-counter products and can help you to control cravings
and hopefully lose weight.
There are several ways that appetite suppressants
might be able to help you lose weight.
Some appetite suppressants work by making your body
believe that are full, regardless of when you have actually eaten and thus
dampening your appetite. You are
therefore more inclined to eat less than you normally would.
Some appetite suppressants also help to increase your
metabolism and burn calories meaning you can continue to enjoy the foods that
you like whilst still losing weight.
This benefit is extremely helpful in allowing the dieter to stick to
their diet as they are not having to restrict from their diet certain foods.
Another problem with excessive weight gain is that in
many cases, the stomach has increased in size to accommodate the large amounts
of food it has to handle. This is where appetite suppressants are a great
help. If you are able to decrease the physical amount of food you eat
every day, it is likely that you stomach will return to its normal size and you
simply will not require as much food to feel satisfied.
How long do you need to use appetite suppressants?
Most people find that they do not have to take
appetite suppressants forever, generally several weeks or months are enough to
help the dieter get over the initial pressure of cravings and start to return
their body to normal so they do not need to eat as much in order to feel as
satisfied. Appetite suppressants can help you to reach your weight goal.
