How to Cheat Hunger in Seconds? Lifehack of Korean Models That Doctors Are Hiding

28.02.2025 22:27

Are you sure that hunger is a death sentence?

Korean models and nutritionists have been using a method for decades that suppresses your appetite faster than you can open the fridge.

Why does hunger attack suddenly?

Hunger is 80% controlled by the brain, not the stomach. A study from the University of Leeds has proven that sudden cravings are a response to stress, boredom or micronutrient deficiencies, rather than a real need for calories.

3 Life Hacks of Korean Models

1. Breathing "4-7-8".

How? Inhale through your nose for 4 counts, hold your breath for 7, exhale through your mouth for 8.

Why it works: Reduces levels of cortisol (the stress hormone), which triggers hunger.

Data: Participants in a Journal of Behavioral Medicine experiment suppressed their appetite by 35% in 10 seconds.

2. Ice stimulant.

How? Place an ice cube or frozen fruit (lemon, berry) on your tongue.

Why it works: Cold activates the vagus nerve, which sends a signal of satiety to the brain.

Model life hack: instead of ice, use sugar-free mints - they "trick" the receptors.

3. Aromatherapy with deceptive smells.

How? Inhale peppermint, grapefruit, or vanilla essential oils for 5–7 seconds.

Why it works: Smells suppress the activity of hunger neurons in the hypothalamus.

Tip: Carry an aromatherapy inhaler or menthol gum with you.

Dangerous Consequences: When You Shouldn't Deceive Your Hunger

Dizziness, weakness. These are signals of a real energy deficit - you need to eat.

Pregnancy, diabetes. Artificial appetite suppression disrupts metabolism.

Eating disorders. The methods may worsen anorexia or bulimia.

How to distinguish “fake” hunger from real hunger?

1. Water test. Drink a glass of water. If the hunger does not go away after 10 minutes, it is physiological.

2. Ask yourself: "Would I eat an apple?" If not, you need emotion, not food.

3. Check the time. Real hunger occurs 3-4 hours after eating.

Your action plan

1. Buy peppermint essential oil and sugar-free mints.

2. Master the 4-7-8 breathing – this will take 1 minute.

3. When you first feel the urge to eat, use this life hack instead of running to the fridge.
