3 Ways to Stay Full

Oct 15, 2024

Wondering how to lose weight without starving?  Losing weight doesn't require being hungry all the time.

 

Ready to lose weight without starving?  There are 3 key ingredients that you want to put into your meals to keep you feeling fuller longer, so you are not hungry between meals.

  1. Fiber

Fiber a great low-calorie way to feel full so you can lose weight without starving.  Foods such as fruits, vegetables, and natural grains, like slow cooked oatmeal, will fill your stomach up.  The body has receptors that let you know when your stomach starts to stretch so you know it’s time to stop eating.

  1. Fat

Fat got a bad rap back in the 80s, but it turns out the science isn’t really there.  Fat can actually be a great way to create a feeling of satiety, so you are satisfied with what you are eating.  Look for plan-based fats, like avocados, and monounsaturated traditional fats that are produced with minimal processing, like extra virgin olive oil.

  1. Protein

Have you ever had a big steak and felt it sort of “sit” in your stomach?  Protein slows the emptying of your stomach, so you stay fuller longer, allowing you to lose weight without starving. 

 

I do believe most Americans eat too much meat, so try to use meat as a garnish and for flavor rather than as the main show.  For example, consider a steak salad versus a steak.  And try to incorporate proteins that have omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, and limit the amount of processed meat like salami.
