New Ways to Eat Smart

Lose weight by controlling your hunger

Terrific! You've made a resolution to lose weight. Ensure success by learning how to curb hunger throughout the day. Do you know which foods fill you up healthfully? The best snacks? Read on for eating tips.

Learn how to feel fuller. Recent studies have shown that it’s possible to feel more satisfied if you eat smaller meals, as long as they contain the right nutrients. Foods with fiber, protein and a high water content contribute to a feeling of satiation. Fruits and vegetables are high in fiber and water, low in calories. All types of beans are high in both fiber and protein. Prepare your own meals, and use these more healthful ingredients whenever possible.

Stay on track with smart habits. Drink plenty of water — often times people think they are hungry when they are actually thirsty. Experiment with herbs and spices. Remember, healthy doesn’t have to mean flavorless! For instance, when grilling salmon, use dill. Eat a healthy breakfast; starting the day with a full stomach means you’ll be less likely to overcompensate later. And if you like to eat frequently during the day, snack wisely, on fresh fruit or nuts.
