Best Foods To Eat To Stay Full While Dieting - Upfit Academy
Best Foods To Eat To Stay Full While Dieting

If you’ve included snacks in your diet and still feel ravenous before dinner or find you’re hungry an hour or two after dinner, you must change the food you consume. If you want to stay full, there are healthy options that will provide valuable nutrients and fewer calories. One problem may be the added sugar in the food you select. If it’s high in sugar, it boosts your energy immediately and drops just as quickly. That leaves you exhausted and hungry. Focus on food that doesn’t cause a sharp rise in blood sugar levels.

Include fiber in your food.

Fiber fills you up and feeds the beneficial bacteria in the gut. Those bacteria also affect weight loss or gain. Fiber slows the absorption of sugar, so it helps eliminate that sudden rise and drop. The slower entry into your bloodstream keeps you full longer. Consider high-fiber foods in your diet. They include fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. When you increase whole foods, you consume more nutrients that help with weight loss.

Protein keeps you full longer.

Protein takes a while to digest, so you’ll feel full longer. It doesn’t matter whether it’s plant or animal protein. You can get a quick pick-me-up that keeps you going by combining high-fiber food with protein. Consider apples and cheese as a snack or a grilled cheese sandwich on whole wheat. Make sure there’s a source of protein at every meal. Chicken, beans, quinoa, beef, and fish are a few examples.

Don’t forget the fat.

Don’t run away from fat because you think it will make you fat. Overconsuming fat, or the wrong type, isn’t healthy. However, there are healthy options that will keep you full. Avocados contain the fat that your body needs for good health. One mistake many dieters make is to select low or non-fat foods. When manufacturers remove fat from a product, they add ingredients to get the same consistency and taste. It’s frequently sugar and other unhealthy options. Instead of feeling full for hours after eating those products, the sugar and lack of fat make you hungrier.

  • Eat a large salad before a meal to help you feel fuller and eat less. The fiber in the vegetables and fruit keeps you full longer. If you use dressing with fat, such as vinegar and oil, it also helps you stay full longer.
  • You don’t have to cook for hours or spend a lot of money to have a filling, nutritious meal. You can make a peanut butter, honey, and banana sandwich on whole-grain bread.
  • If you want a healthy snack that’s filling, consider a handful of nuts. Nuts are high in protein and healthy fat. You can also add them to salads or in a homemade trail mix.
  • Instead of a breakfast bagel or donut, make eggs or an egg casserole. A spinach and vegetable frittata made with eggs, fresh vegetables, and cheese is a breakfast that will keep you full until lunch.
