- Yogurt--"Calcium may curtain weight gain by hindering the absorption of fat in the small intestine."
- Eggs-- Helps you to feel full longer than a stack of pancakes or a bowl of cereal. Also when eaten with carbs, eggs will help to balance your blood sugar levels.
- Pistachios--"Nuts may be high in fat, but it's the healthful unsaturated kind of fat found in pistachios. And like all nuts, pistachios offer lots of hunger-curbing protein and fiber."
- Grapefruit--"One study in particular revealed that eating half a grapefruit before each meal helped dieters shed more pounds than people who skipped the tart appetizer."
- Avocado--"Researchers suspect that the unsaturated fat in avocadoes may ratchet up body levels of the hunger-halting hormone called leptin--a hormone that lets your brain know that you're full, so you stop eating."
- Mushrooms--replace meat with mushrooms and save 420 calories for a meal.
- Olive oil--"triggers a complicated process in the gut that ultimately tells your brain you're full and makes you want to stop eating."
- Whole grains--wheat, brown rice, quinoa, steelcut oats, whole grain cereal, whole grain bread and pasta
- Red pepper--a little heat will curb your appetite later in the day.
- Fava beans--a lean protein source bursting with flavonoids.
- Rice with veggies--adding veggies to rice at lunchtime appears to slow the stomach emptying which makes you feel full longer.
