Ever eat a mint or peppermint candy after dinner? Wonder why you are offered a mint or peppermint at a restaurant? Peppermint and Mint leaf are natural appetite suppressants. Both can dull the taste buds thus decreasing your cravings for foods and sweets.
L-Glutamine is an amino acids that works by placing a 1/4 tsp under the tongue allowing it to dissolve and in about 15 minutes cravings should subside.
Stevia is another natural appetite suppressant. Taking stevia drops fifteen to twenty minutes prior to a meal may help decreases craving and hunger sensations.
L-Trypotphan is another amino acid. It decreases the desire for carbs, however it is not legal to sell L-Trypotphan in the US anymore and is only available overseas. You can order L-Trypotphan from Antiaging Systems as well as other items that may interest you.
Of course doing a Candida cleanse prior to the hCG diet helps greatly reduce cravings by killing the yeast overgrowth in the body that can also contribute to uncontrollable cravings. This was recommend by Kevin Trudeau and is proven to be very effective for a lot of hCG dieters.
hCG Diet Hunger:
Hunger sometimes does happen. It can happen due to skipping meals, which is never advised on any eating plan or diet because it can trigger a surge of overwhelming hunger. And hunger can happen just due to the natural rhythm and cycle of your body. Even when not dieting sometimes you just feel hungrier then most days.
Dealing with hunger while hCG dieting is a little tricky because you don’t want to break the hCG diet protocol, but you don’t like the empty feeling in your stomach either and want to deal with the symptoms.

Fiber and Miracle Noodles. Both have the same benefits. It leaves you feeling full and satisfied.

Having Miracle Noodles and organic vegetable broth can be both physically and physiological filling. Here are some Miracle Noodle recipes for your enjoyment.
Eating extra vegetables can help give you the fullness. Salad vegetables is always good as it takes about a pound of lettuce to get 25 calories. Thus you can increase your intake without going way over the 500 caloires a day on the hCG diet plan. Cabbage raw is anther good food that can fill you without overly increasing your calorie count.
