Effective ways to lose weight without exercise: about tomatoes and other appetite-suppressing foods
Famous comedy actress Lee Se-young, despite being 36 years old, recently surprised many with her weight loss method. Through her YouTube channel YPTV, she shared a video titled “I lost 6 kg in 1 month! Secret to losing weight without exercise,” where she demonstrated the process step by step.
Lee Se-young revealed that her weight increased to 56 kg after undergoing breast surgery. In the video, she confirmed that she had reduced her weight to 50 kg and clearly explained the methods she used.
Her main secret — eating tomatoes before meals. “When I eat salad, I don’t add any dressing. I use iceberg lettuce, bell peppers, onions, and of course tomatoes. I always eat the tomatoes first. They completely kill my appetite,” she said.
Why do tomatoes suppress appetite?
Tomatoes are rich in fiber and water, which slow digestion and stabilize insulin levels. This helps maintain a feeling of fullness for longer and prevents repeated eating. They also contain a high amount of lycopene, an antioxidant that fights free radicals, slows aging, protects the skin, and strengthens the cardiovascular system.
Some studies have shown that lycopene may also help reduce the risk of dangerous diseases such as prostate cancer.
What other foods suppress appetite besides tomatoes?
Avocado
Though high in calories, avocado is mostly made up of healthy unsaturated fats. These fats stay in the stomach longer, creating a lasting sense of fullness and reducing the urge to eat more.
Oatmeal
Oats are rich in soluble fiber called beta-glucan. This substance forms a gel-like mass in the stomach, slows digestion, and extends the feeling of fullness. People who eat oats for breakfast tend to consume fewer calories during the day.
Eggs
Eggs are known as a high-protein food. Protein increases the level of the “satiety hormone” leptin and decreases the “hunger hormone” ghrelin. According to several studies, people who ate eggs for breakfast consumed significantly less food during the day.
Vegetables and greens
Vegetables are low in calories but rich in fiber. Especially broccoli, spinach, and lettuce help control appetite by filling the stomach and providing a sense of fullness.
Nuts: almonds, pistachios, and others
Nuts contain healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Eating them in small amounts helps suppress appetite and provide lasting energy.
Conclusion:
Losing weight doesn't always require exercise. Choosing the right foods — like tomatoes, eggs, oats, avocado, and greens — can help reduce calorie intake and extend the feeling of fullness. If you also want to get rid of excess weight, review your eating habits and start focusing on nutritious but appetite-suppressing foods.
