Ha, I have a simple fix for that, that is painless.
If you like sweet ice tea, like most southerners do, then this worked for me and I just stumbled into it. If you don't like it, learn to like it and make it a part of you daily routine. Here is the kicker use
Green Tea instead of regular tea leafs, and instead of sugar or any other sweetener use Stevia extract, since it has zero calories. I like the liquid form. I swear you cannot tell the difference in between sugar and stevia in taste if you get the right brand and I recommend Whole Foods brand. (Note, a little liquid stevia from Whole Foods brand goes a long long way, 1 teaspoon of type I use will sweeten a 2 quart jar of tea.) I brew a 2 quart jar a day and have a yeti cup working it througout the day and starting early.
So here is the story, and I am not into fad diets or any of that crap, but wife bought some green tea and we were out of regular so I tried it and liked the way it tasted, so I started drinking it all the time with Stevia . I noticed that when drinking it my appetite was greatly reduced. So I went and read about it and it seems Green Tea has a lot of benefits. It is an anti-oxident good for keeping the cancer away (maybe), suppresses appetite (I agree), burns stubborn belly fat (results may vary, but it did for me). Burning belly fat could be combination of things, less intake of food is probably biggest reason.
After I started it and did not change activity level at all I felt less hungry and could even skip meals, and when I didn't and not overeating regular meals, it could eat less and still satisfy appetite. If I was hungry I ate something though whenever I felt like it. Sometimes I at a regular big meal like before and sometimes I didn't but I always was drinking green tea even with meals. Over about a 3 to 4 month period dropped 10 to 15 lbs. Waist went from a 36 to 34. Before starting I weighed about 205 and based on family history carried most of weight on chest and belly, now weigh somewhere between 185 and 190. BTW I also tried to stay away from sweets, and try is key operative word.
I will say this, clothes fit better or even worse I had to buy some new clothes since old ones swallow me. Went from XL to L. I also felt alot more spry when hunting and better yet I lost weight around my face and now guns even fit a little better, especially the old Parker. Old favorite belts even fit and actually was able to tighten them to a hole that had never been used before.
Give it a shot the worse that could happen is you develop a tea habit. Also green tea has less caffeine and also won't stain the your cups or teeth like regular tea, if that is a concern at all. I find caffeine addiction and then not having it makes people irritable. I am all for a kinder and gentler green tea sipping world.
