FOODS THAT GIVE YOU THE FULLER FEEL

This is a common problem when it comes on to losing weight. We tend to eat foods that are said to be healthy but really is not, eat foods high in carb and we dont know or we just give in to the urge of food. I have had this problem alot and I am here to share with you some tips that I go by.

Here are some really practical tips on controlling how much we eat.

Fibre is excellent for losing weight and eating less. It has a way of making you feel full with a few bites of these magic food. When you have cravings, or feel hungry in between meals, ou should eat these instead of snacks or pastries or incorporate them into dishes to feel full for longer. There are various foods that pack alot of fibre punch. Such foods are:

• Kidney beans: Kidney beans not only contain fibre, but also contain protein and iron. It is a great ingredient to incorporate into dishes for a fuller feel.

• Avacado: The creamy flesh of the avocado is a great fiber source and excellent sources of mono and polysaturated fat (the good kind) that help lower cholesteral and reduce heart disease risk. Avocado can be incorporated into salads or just eaten along with your main dish.

• Whole wheat pasta: You can swap out traditional pasta for the whole-wheat kind i to introduce more fiber to your diet.

• Brown rice: Brown rice contains more fibre and more benefits that the regular white rice. It also reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes

• Lentils: Lentils are beans that you can easily incorporate into your dish. Not only are the high in fibre, lentils are also a great source of protein, B vitamins, iron, and other minerals.

• Oatmeal: Oatmeal is the best food to eat when trying to achieve a fuller feel. They can be eaten with milk, in granola bars or blended into your favourite milk shake to give it a little chew. Oats contain beta-glucan, a special type of fiber that has particularly powerful cholesterol-lowering effects, and may also boost immune-system function.

• Raspberries: Raspberries are tasty fruits that you might actually enjoy snacking on while getting fibre. One cup will give you about a third of your daily fiber needs and they're also full of powerful antioxidants.

• Brocoli: As much as I hate to say this, broccoli packs alot of fibre punch. I personally do not like broccoli but if you do, just know that brocoli contains fibre as well as cancer-preventing properties

• Apples: I love apples and I am proud to say this. An apple a day keeps the fat away, well kinda. BUT, you have to eat the apple with the skin on. If you take off the skin, you are taking off all the goodness glory.

• Almonds: Almonds are pretty good sources of fiber, packed with healthy fats and protein but it comes with high calorie count be careful on the serving size. 23 almonds are best recommended per day to provide you with enough fibre and not too much calories. You can take these in a ziplock bag on the road a munch on them on the go.
