Fruits That Reduce Your Appetite Oranges and grapefruit contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, along with a particular form of fiber called pectin.
These pectin fibers suppress the appetite and provide only 70 calories. Orange and grapefruit also contain plant-nutrients that help lower blood fats, and strengthens immune system.
Their juices however contain around 150 calories.
Another natural hunger suppressant is apple that contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. One medium apple with the skin contains approximately 4gms of fiber.
It also contains pectin which when combined with fiber has the ability to decrease hunger pangs. Because the soluble fiber content of the apple along with water in the digestive tract forms bulk in the intestine, which makes you feel full. The pectin content of apple suppresses your appetite by tricking brains hunger center into believing that you are full. The actual chewing of an apple and the slower digestion due to the formation of bulk makes you full earlier.
Apple cider vinegar contains malic acid and tartaric acid that help to break down carbohydrates slowly, which also slows down their absorption into blood stream. The flavor of apple cider vinegar increases saliva production that aids in slower digestion of carbohydrates. For appetite suppressing effects you can add 1Tbsp of apple cider vinegar to salads.
Raspberry vinaigrette, olive vinegar and any other type of vinegar dressing also suppress your appetite, but use them in very small amounts.
