Losing weight
is hard enough on its own. But if you are smart with the strategy of eating foods,
there is a high chance of long-term weight loss success.
Before meals
Try to focus on consuming foods that keep you satisfied and feeling full for long periods of time.
Carrots and Broccoli
Carrots and broccoli are high in fiber and contain upwards of 90% water, which will fill up your gut and trick your brain into thinking you are full.
Avocado
Avocados provide a good amount of fiber (just one average-sized avocado serves up about 13.5 grams of fiber). Adding just one half of an avocado to your daily lunch can help you feel full throughout the afternoon.
Raspberries
One cup of raspberries contains about eight grams of satisfying fiber and loaded with healthy antioxidants, hitting the goal of being both filling and healthy.
Almonds
Nuts, in particular almonds, are one of the most satisfying, healthy and convenient snack options out there to control appetite and curb hunger. They are rich in healthy unsaturated fat, protein and fiber.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is full of fiber and protein, and it will keep you full for hours. Although plain oatmeal is a bit boring, it is easy to jazz up with a half-cup of fresh berries or a tablespoon of organic almond butter or peanut butter.
Potatoes
By itself, a baked potato comes in at around 160 calories, but it also provides a wide range of healthy vitamins, minerals, fiber and energizing carbohydrates. Potatoes are guaranteed to keep you feeling fuller for longer (just stick to baking, boiling or grilling).
Fish
Fish like salmon are well known for their rich omega-3 fat content, but fish eaters as a group have been found to consume fewer calories than beef eaters. It seems those omega-3 fatty acids can help curb hunger.
Before meals
- Drink a full glass (or two) of water 30 minutes before mealtime. It will fill you up enough to trick your brain into picking up the “I am full” signal from your gut, meaning you will eat less and take in fewer calories.
- Try eating an apple one hour before your biggest meal of the day. All the water, natural fiber and pectin—which slows digestion—packed into each bite will fill up your stomach enough to prevent you from overeating at mealtime. It is a simple weight loss trick that has proven to be effective.
