(Some good ideas, I'm going to try)
1) Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon to ordinary food - studies show cinnamon causes the body to metabolize sugar 20 times faster, resulting in more stable blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar has been found to reduce hunger and reduce production of the fat-storage hormone insulin.
2) Eat fish, the high-metabolism protein. This article states that fish can increase metabolic rate by as much as 70%. Fish also bolsters the appetite-reducing hormone leptin.
3) Block calories with mega doses of fiber. 36 grams of fiber a day blocks about 130 calories a day. Fiber expands in the digestive tract, triggering the release of anti-hunger hormones and makes you fill full.
4) Unlock your fat cells with dairy. Diets low in calcium causes the production of calcitriol, a hormone that actually hoards calcium in our fat cells and makes it harder for our bodies to break down fat. The more dairy you get, the more readily fat is released says Stephen Gallo Ph.D. from the Institute for Health and Weight Sciences in Manhattan
