Fight the Binge with Fiber Rich Foods!
Dropping the pounds is something most people find difficult to do. Cutting on the calories can make you really hungry, and boost your appetite to a really high level you can’t help but eat a lot on your last meal of the day. Let’s say you had greens for lunch-after four hours you find yourself starving you can eat a horse! Well, you should remember though that hunger is a physical need which you cannot fight by your mind alone. Thus, you have to eat the right kind of food, particularly those which can keep you full for a longer period of time.
But what are these foods? Basically, these are those that are high in fiber.
Eggs- eggs are and will always be a great source of protein, which can keep you satiated for hours. Eating 2 eggs a day during breakfast also reduces weight for as much as 65% and provides around 83% reduction in waist circumference. So, start munching on those eggs to get a better figure, not to mention a controlled appetite! If you’re not a fan of eggs, then you may settle for low-fat yogurt instead.
Almonds- nuts of this kind contain high amounts of monounsaturated fatty acids, meaning the good fats that keep your appetite sane for a long time. This is proven by various studies, with one discovering that after 6 months, people eating plain almonds lost around 63% of their weight, 50% more body fat, and reduced their waistlines at around 55%. Almonds are not calorie free though, so check out how much they can contribute to your system (1 ounce of almonds contains around 170 calories).
Guacamole- fresh avocados with a little lime juice are really filling, satisfying, and are packed with a lot important vitamins and minerals, and other nutrients such as monounsaturated fats, potassium and folate. They may not be calorie-free, but a few slices have around 50-75 calories, just like salads and sandwiches. There are a lot of things you can do with avocados as well, and they even make your meal tastier.
Apples- the popular saying is true: an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Better said, two apples a day keep your appetite away! These fruits can be anywhere, and while crunching on them, you get to lower your waistline! Apples help a lot in trimming your weight, not only because they are rich in fiber, but because they are low in calories too!
Oatmeal-this breakfast cereal has a lot of soluble fiber, and according to one research, having this for breakfast everyday is equal to walking around 15-30 minutes daily-and losing up to 10 pounds in a span of 12 weeks.
Peanut butter- peanuts are not nuts, but beans. They too are high in the good fats, so munching on them is a great to keep your weight maintained and eventually reduced. Just be sure to crave for the low-sugar peanut butter, and instead of jelly, top them with apple slices on your afternoon sandwich.
