9 Ways to Curb Your Appetite
by Maria Khalife
A well governed appetite is the greater part of liberty.
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Our appetites come from an inner urge that tells us to enjoy. Food brings enjoyment. So do lots of other things, but in our world today, food seems to have ascended to the priority when it comes to fulfilling our urge for enjoyment. You can use the following tricks, tips and techniques for curbing your appetite to stay in balance.
1. Eat a high protein breakfast. Protein will give you energy that will last for many hours, and in some University studies, eating a high protein breakfast allowed the dieters to eat fewer calories throughout the day.
2. Take the stairs. Keep tempting foods downstairs in a basement storage or upstairs in a small fridge. Often, the idea of walking upstairs or downstairs helps you to make a wiser choice.
3. Get plenty of sleep. If you’re not getting enough sleep, your hormones will fluctuate inordinately and will affect your appetite, making it harder to satisfy. Get some sleep.
4. Smell something pleasant. Here’s an interesting scientific discovery: when scientists scanned people eating different foods, they discovered they reacted the same way to a pleasant aroma as they did to fat in their mouths. Sniff something wonderful!
5. Use a new, smaller plate. And no heaping it up. Eat the smaller amount and sit with it for a moment. You’ll be surprised at how satisfied you feel. This is a great tip for curbing your appetite. And when you’re at a restaurant, pack half the meal to take home before you begin to eat the rest.
6. Tell a story. When your food arrives, let your friends begin to eat while you entertain them with a fabulous story. Once they’ve finished eating, you quit too.
7. Sit down. Make even snack times a formal occasion. Sit down, use a plate and utensils. You’ll either opt out, or if you do eat the snack, you’ll want less at the next large meal.
8. Super soup. Begin each lunch or dinner with a small cup of soup. It automatically satiates your appetite, and will decrease the amount of calories during your meal.
9. Limit your choices. When you see too large of a variety of choices, you want to try more things. An example of this is a smorgasbord. You know what I mean. Keep it more simple.
You can truly enjoy yourself, enjoy a wide variety of foods and flavors without overeating. Keep the idea of enjoyment alive as you eat, and you’ll be curbing your appetite and becoming satisfied a lot sooner than you did in the past.

Here is what is available on my website - I think it is very comprehensive and may be helpful information . But you be the judge of that. It may indeed be a glance into the brain of an eating disorder therapist...But you be the judge.

The Answer to the Facebook Question
Why do I run my facebook page I believe was the question. Well it is NOT to attain clients and it is NOT to advertise the business what-so-ever. In fact I am seriously thinking of changing the page name to EDRC - much less descriptive for posts.
Truth is I am in the process of retiring after 31 years of a successful career assisting ED clients recover from these devastating illnesses. The past 3-4 years has been physically difficult including having 7 breaks in my back. It occurs to me that I am not as reliable as I once was and I feel that is not fair to my clients.
So I am slowly retiring from a career I was truly passionate about for all 31 years! (And I may sound a little egotistical here but I feel I still have much to offer those with ED's.) All of my career I have worked to educate those interested. I developed an eating disorder site for which i never allowed any advertising. It was purely for support and education and remains as such. You would be hard-pressed to find a topic not covered there that relates to ED's! www.addictions.net is also one of the first sites on the web to provide information on eating disorders.
So there you have it - I'm not here to attain clients, I don't feel I need to prove anything, I'm not trying to advertise anything - I'm simply sharing my knowledge, compassion, and experience to help someone if they need it. I know what works if you listen you listen - if not 'oh well' it's all a process anyway!
What I won't do is Debate with anyone - it is really a take it or leave it situation and it is entirely your choice. I give you what I know is the truth and what works - you are welcome to do what you will with it.
The one thing I do know about ED Clients is that they have difficulty listening/hearing especially until they break down all the denial...I won''t be engaged in that. But at the same time there are people who are hungry/ready to listen and hopefully what I offer helps them help themself!
Well that's all I have to say about that - Deb
