Tame Your Appetite Without Willpower
Do you find yourself raiding the pantry at 9 p.m. even though you’re not really hungry? In this episode of Healthy Looks Great on You, Dr. Vickie breaks down the science of appetite and gives you a practical, food-based strategy to finally get it under control.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between true hunger and emotional eating (boredom, loneliness, habit)
- How your hormones, including GLP-1, ghrelin, leptin, and insulin control your appetite
- Why calorie restriction often backfires and leads to weight gain
- The four foods that naturally suppress hunger: soluble fiber, protein, healthy fats, and fermented foods
- Why 90 – 95% of Americans are fiber deficient and what that has to do with belly fat
Dr. Vickie also shares a surprising stat: a 10 gram daily increase in soluble fiber is linked to a 3.7% decrease in visceral belly fat over five years. And she’s inviting you to put it to the test with a free 7-Day Fiber Challenge starting May 26th.
