It is widely accepted that weight loss and appetite control are related. Generally, a person will lose weight if they burn more calories than they eat. However, restricting calories (the typical method of dieting,) isn’t an easy method to lose weight for most people because it results in feeling hungry – and being hungry makes it easy to stray from the diet by responding to your body’s needs. A recent study concluded that eating a cup of raisins, ideally coupled with an increase in physical activity, resulted in several important health benefits, among them helping to control appetite by altering hormones that are responsible for feelings of hunger. As a result of this physiological change, the results suggest that eating raisins may be an “effective intervention to promote weight control.”
