Smell the food
Studies show that the scent of peppermint reduces your appetite, causing your body to consume fewer calories. A person who inhales peppermint for about 2 hours eats 2,700 fewer calories per week. In addition to peppermint, fruits such as bananas, apples, vanilla... also have similar effects. In particular, apples are rich in pectin and fiber, which are effective foods against cravings. You should eat apples every day.

Eat oranges and grapefruits
According to a study by the Nutrition Center in San Diego, USA, eating oranges and grapefruit every day can help you lose more than 1.5 kg in weight in 3 months. These fruits contain a lot of insulin, a hormone that can regulate the amount of fat in the body.
Use grapefruit essential oil
Grapefruit essential oil contains nootkatone, an appetite suppressant compound that aids in weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. Inhale grapefruit oil vapors regularly.
Potato
Potatoes are more difficult to digest so they stay in the intestines for a long time, which can prevent hunger and cravings.
Boiled potatoes are only about 100 calories. You'd better eat potato salad mixed with vinegar, which is an effective appetite suppressant.
Morning exercise
Exercising on an empty stomach helps the body reduce fat accumulated during the night, relieve stress and fatigue. The sweat released in the morning will help you eat well and control cravings.
However, because muscles and joints have low activity in the morning, excessive movement should be avoided.
