1. Drink Water

Thirst and hunger are often confused. Most often due to a sedentary lifestyle. Drink a glass of water first. Then, if you are still hungry, have some food.

2. Drink Peppermint Tea

This causes people to consume 1800 calories less. Also, stops cake and potato chip free-for-alls!

3. Meditate

Do meditation anywhere for 5 to 10 minutes. Meditation reduces binge eating by 70%, increases focus, improves sleep and reduces stress and anxiety.

4. Have Lots of Protein and Fibrous Carbs

Consume this duo at the same time. The protein reduces cravings and the fiber reduces appetite by 39%. For example, have an apple and whey protein shake!

5. Drink Decaf!

Decaf coffee beats out caffeinated and caffeine pills to stop cravings. Full of nutrients and antioxidants.

6. Drink Apple Cider Vinegar

Drink throughout the day or 2 tbsp. with 8 oz. of water 30 minutes before or during a meal. Doing so leads to feeling fuller, consuming 200 to 275 fewer calories and no mid-day sugar crashes!

7. Use Cayenne Pepper

This spice increases metabolism, increases fat burning and curbs appetite.

8. Consume Satiating Foods

Don't consume empty calories! Have instead, for example, steak and potatoes, which leaves the body feeling full. Have more of these to stop your cravings.

This DIY diet hack may be accomplished even when on a tight budget.
