Want to cut your appetite? The secret is to reach for foods that satisfy, instead of ones that leave you hungry for more, experts say. In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers found some high calorie foods �?like bakery treats �?not only don't leave you full, they actually trigger your appetite! In fact, participants fed a meal of such foods ate twice as many calories over the rest of the day (3,000 in total) as those who were fed a low-fat, low-calorie meal! Now, that's calories out of control!
So reach for foods that fill you up, and turn off your hunger switch, the experts say. For example, instead of a cheeseburger, have a sandwich made with whole-grain bread, lean protein, lettuce, and tomato paired up with an apple and a cup of tomato soup. Or eat oatmeal with fruit and milk rather than a doughnut and coffee.
And put these "eat-more" foods on your "have-rarely-if-ever" list: potato chips, frosted cake, croissants, white bread, ice cream, salted peanuts, candy bars, French fries, cookies, and pasta with cream sauce. Your waistline will look wonderful! |
