What is going to curb your appetite?



Yesterday I wrote what to do to eat less and one of these points was to buy proper ingredients to your menu. If you are trying to lose weight or just eat healthier, keeping hunger and cravings at bay is essential to reaching your goal. Products which contains a lot of fiber, protein and fat are considered the source of satiety, as they take longer to pass through your digestive system, helping you stay fuller for longer.



Today list of foods to help curb your appetite.

1.      Almonds –great source of healthy fats and make for a great snack between meals. However, please note  the amount you consume as they are high in calorie. It is worth noting that the effect of satiety after eating feel after about half an hour after eating.

 

 

 

2.   Avocado - excellent source of fiber and unsaturated fats which make that it takes a lot of time to digest and thus feel more full. This is an excellent addition to salads, sandwiches, sauces, dips and juices.

 

 

3.   Oatmeal - thanks to the presence of significant amounts of soluble fiber, which consists mainly of a compound called beta-glucan it gives a feeling of satiety and help to lower cholesterol levels.

 

4.   Cottage cheese – ideal part of a healthy diet. In comparison with the other cheeses are low in fat and an excellent source of protein. You can add tomatoes, radishes, chives, or if you like sweets, fruits -  pineapples are ideal for it.

 

 

5.  Greek yogurt  – perfect high in protein product, which will let us forget about eating for a long time. Ideal for breakfast and as a substitute for cream to salads and sauces.

 

6.   Flax- rich in fiber and healthy omega-3 fats, and is also a source of protein. Two tablespoons of ground flaxseed contains about 4 grams of fiber, and thus add it to yogurt, salads and cocktails will increase the feeling of satiety.

 

7.   Legumes such as beans, peas, soybeans, chickpeas - not only contain a lot of protein, but also fats and carbohydrates. They are a rich source of potassium, calcium, iron and some B vitamins. Sprouted legumes are an excellent source of vitamin C and enzymes. They are  perfect addition to soups and salads and they help you forget about hunger for a long time.

 

8.   Meat - mainly fish and poultry meat are the ideal products for healthy diet. The high protein and fat content in meat means that it is digested more slowly than most foods. Meat also takes longer to chew, which also contributes to feeling full.
 

 

What else would you add to my list?
