Coffee Caffeine is another way to suppress your appetite. It can boost your metabolism too enabling you to burn more fat. If you're having coffee for the sole purpose of losing weight, two cups a day should help you reach your goal. |
Vegetable Juice Drinking vegetable juice before a meal is enough to make you feel satisfied. In fact, research conducted by the Pennsylvania State University has found that drinking vegetable juice before a meal will have you eating 135 less calories on average. |

Whey Protein Consuming whey on a regular basis contributes to weight loss due to the Cholecystokinin hormone that effectively suppresses appetite. It also makes you feel full and is an excellent drink for anyone with diabetes as it regulates blood sugar levels and insulin. |
Smoothie with Yogurt Smoothies are a great way to suppress your appetite, keeping you from snacking between meals. For a healthier alternative, opt for Greek yogurt and add some fruit and whey protein too. Yogurt is an essential source of calcium, an important mineral if you are trying to lose weight. |
Pineapple Frappe For a refreshing drink, this pineapple frappe will not disappoint. This blended beverage also contains bromelain - an enzyme that can promote protein digestion and get rid of bloating.
