Webster's defines belt as: a strip or band of leather or other material worn around the waist to hold up clothing support tools, it can be worn as an ornament, sign of rank or for safety.
The first piece of armor listed in the armor of God is the belt of truth.
Ephesians 6:14 NIV Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place
Keep in mind natural appetite doesn't neccessarily mean food. Anything that appeals to the flesh is an appetite. Sex, spending habits, types of recreation. Anything that causes imbalances or distractions that keeps us from spiritual balance.
Notice how falsehood and lies affect our appetites and attitudes and how important it is to pray about our appetites.
Proverbs 30:8-9 NIV
Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD?'(complacent?) Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
The writer is asking for balance in his life. So we too need to pray and ask God to give us balance in all things.

Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. He is the Living Word of God
James 4:7 NIV tells us to Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Spend time with the Lord and in His word and let Him custom fit your ... belt of truth!
