Carbohydrates: They are found in cereals such as bran and wheat, vegetables and fruits. The fibers in them activate the digestive system. Especially complex carbohydrates keep people full.
Tryptophan: It plays an important role in the formation of serotonin in the body and its transportation to the cells. Serotonin also reduces the feeling of appetite. It is especially found in bananas, avocados, oats and cheese.
Chromium: Maintains insulin balance in the body. Low blood sugar causes hunger. You can eat nuts such as hazelnuts, walnuts, broccoli and grain products to meet your chromium needs.
Albumin: Eliminates boredom and suppresses appetite. This protein creates tryptophan and transports it to the brain, increasing the production of serotonin. It is found in peas, peanuts and beans.
Fructose: It is a natural sugar obtained from fruits. It does not affect blood sugar balance at all. It also prevents you from needing sweets after meals. Strawberries and honey are the main sources of fructose.
Iodine: Necessary for the production of thyroid hormones. Prevents the development of hunger. Fish, iodized salt and onions are rich in iodine.

Pineapple
Pineapple contains a protein-digesting enzyme called bromelain. Bromelain facilitates digestion, reduces water retention in the body, and relieves inflammation. It is a natural blood thinner because it prevents excessive platelet adhesion. However, bromelain is not recommended to be used with blood thinners. It can cause allergic reactions or increase heart rate in some people.
Popcorn
Boiled or roasted corn has a high glycemic index, meaning it raises your blood sugar quickly and makes you hungry quickly. However, popcorn has a low glycemic load thanks to its high fiber content. Popcorn prepared without oil or salt can be consumed unlimitedly in weight loss diets or when you crave junk food.
